- V P Singh was the first Prime Minister to leave office after a no-confidence motion.
- The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty was signed during Deve Gowda’s tenure as Prime Minister.

[A] Only 1
[B] Only 2
[C] Only 2 & 3
[D] 1, 2 & 3
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B [Only 2]
Notes:
Gulzari Lal Nanda served as acting Prime Minister twice, not thrice. V P Singh was the first Indian Prime Minister to leave office after losing a no-confidence motion in 1990. The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) was not signed by India during Deve Gowda’s tenure; India has not signed the CTBT to date.
2. Consider the following statements regarding the Kameng River:
- It is a transboundary river between India and a neighboring country.
- It is a tributary of the Brahmaputra River.
- The Dafla Hills are located to the east of the Kameng River.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
[A] Only 2
[B] Only 1 and 3
[C] 1, 2 and 3
[D] Only 2 and 3
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [Only 2]
Notes:
The Kameng River flows entirely within India, mainly in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, and is not a transboundary river. It is indeed a major tributary of the Brahmaputra River. The Dafla Hills are correctly located to the east of the Kameng River. Thus, only statement 2 is correct; statements 1 and 3 are incorrect.
3. ‘Tippi Naala’, ‘Tanga’, ‘Bichom’, are the tributaries of which of the following rivers?
[A] Lohit
[B] Barak
[C] Kameng
[D] Umngot
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [Kameng]
Notes:- The eastern half of Eaglenest-Sessa Wildlife Sanctuaries is drained by the Tippi Naala (Tippi River) which joins Kameng River at the village of Tippi on the Bhalukpong-Bomdila Highway. The other major rivers flowing through West Kameng District, the Tenga, Bichom and Dirang Chu, are tributaries of the Kameng.
