The database property that ensures a transaction is either fully completed or not executed at all is called ________.
- FATF / Financial Action Task Force
- mBridge / Multi-CBDC
- Integration / Warehousing
- Atomicity
Answer: Atomicity
Atomicity is the 'A' in ACID properties. It guarantees that all operations within a transaction succeed as a unit, or none are applied. If any part fails, the entire transaction is rolled back. Critical for maintaining data consistency in banking, inventory, and other mission-critical applications.
The digital platform that enables farmers to access real-time market prices and connect with buyers is called ________.
- NavIC
- L1
- iDEX
- e-NAM
Answer: e-NAM
e-NAM (Electronic National Agriculture Market) is a pan-India electronic trading portal connecting existing APMC mandis. Provides real-time price discovery, online bidding, quality assaying, and payment settlement.

The cloud service model where the provider manages infrastructure and platform, while customer manages applications and data, is called ________ as a Service.
- e-Filing
- Responsibility Segregation / CQRS
- Astra
- Platform
Answer: Platform
PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides development platforms (runtime, middleware, OS) managed by provider. Customers deploy and manage applications and data without worrying about infrastructure. Examples: Google App Engine, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Azure App Service. Contrasts with IaaS (customer manages OS+) and SaaS (provider manages all).
The framework that enables consent-based sharing of financial data between institutions in India is called the ________ Framework.
