Statement 1 is correct; EMALS is an electromagnetic launching system developed for US carriers. Statement 2 is incorrect as INS Vikrant does not use EMALS; it operates on a STOBAR system with a ski-jump, as mentioned in Statement 3. Statement 4 is incorrect; EMALS is not operational on Indian carriers.
2. Consider the following pairs related to traditional pottery and handicrafts in India:
- Black Pottery – Uttar Pradesh

[C] Only 3 pairs
[D] All 4 pairs
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B [Only 2 pairs]
Notes:
Black Pottery is specific to Uttar Pradesh, while Khavda pottery is from Gujarat and Molela pottery from Rajasthan. Bidriware, however, is from Bidar, Karnataka. Hence, pairs 1, 2, and 4 are correct, but in the original data, Bidriware is incorrectly matched to Madhya Pradesh. Only two pairs — Black Pottery and Khavda — are correctly matched as per the statement.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [AGI is a part of the Union Executive]
Notes:
The Attorney General of India (AGI) is part of the Union Executive. Appointed by the President, the AGI must qualify as a Supreme Court judge. AGI is not a public authority under RTI Act, is not debarred from private practice, and remuneration is determined by the President, not fixed by Constitution.
