Technology – MCQ – GK Questions

Q: Which technology enables seamless handover between satellites in LEO constellations?

All of these – LEO constellations require: inter-satellite laser links for backbone, ground station handoff for coverage, beam steering for user tracking. Critical for continuous global connectivity.

Q: Which error correction approach is critical for building fault-tolerant quantum computers?

Quantum Error Correction Codes – QEC codes (surface code, Shor code) encode logical qubits across multiple physical qubits to detect/correct errors. Requires significant overhead but essential for scalable quantum computation.

Q: Which quantum application enables ultra-precise navigation without GPS signals?

Quantum Sensing – Quantum sensors (atom interferometers) measure acceleration, rotation with extreme precision for navigation in GPS-denied environments: submarines, underground, space. Critical for strategic autonomy.

Q: Which framework provides guidelines for AI risk management in organizations?

Both A and B – NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 23894 provide structured approaches to identify, assess, and mitigate AI risks: bias, security, safety, privacy. Critical for enterprise AI governance.

Q: Which principle ensures AI systems are robust against adversarial attacks and errors?

Robustness – Robustness requires AI systems to perform reliably under normal conditions, edge cases, and adversarial inputs. Techniques: adversarial training, uncertainty quantification, fallback mechanisms. Critical for safety-critical AI applications.

Q: Which regulatory approach treats crypto assets based on their economic function rather than technology?

All of these – Modern crypto regulation focuses on economic substance: payment tokens, security tokens, utility tokens regulated based on function. Avoids technology lock-in and adapts to innovation. Critical for policy design questions.

Q: Which CBDC benefit enables faster cross-border payments compared to traditional systems?

All of these – CBDC cross-border payments: operate 24/7, enable direct central bank-to-central bank settlement, reduce correspondent banking layers. Critical for trade finance and remittance efficiency.

Q: Which privacy feature enables selective disclosure of transaction details in CBDC?

All of these – Privacy-preserving techniques: ZK-proofs verify without revealing data; ring signatures obscure sender; confidential transactions hide amounts. Balance privacy with regulatory compliance (AML/KYC).

Q: Which Indian authority regulates Virtual Digital Asset exchanges and service providers?

Both A and B – RBI regulates payment aspects of crypto; SEBI regulates securities-like tokens; FIU-IND monitors suspicious transactions. Multi-regulator approach addresses different crypto use cases. Critical for compliance questions.

Q: Which CBDC architecture enables programmable money with conditional payments?

Smart Contract-enabled – Smart contract-enabled CBDC allows conditional payments: escrow, subsidies with usage restrictions, automated tax collection. Requires careful design to balance flexibility with privacy and monetary policy control.
