APSC MCQs / APSC Prelims Practice Questions (Date: 11/08/2025)
1. AI-Based Crime Prediction System in Assam
Q1. With reference to Predictive Policing, consider the following statements:
- It uses Artificial Intelligence to analyse historical crime data to forecast potential criminal activity.
- The Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS) is a purely state-level initiative without central coordination.
- Predictive policing has been endorsed by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) with guidelines on ethical AI use.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
✅ Answer: B. 1 and 3 only
Explanation: CCTNS is a centrally coordinated project under NCRB; predictive policing uses AI/ML for hotspot forecasting; UNODC has issued ethical guidelines.
Q2. Which of the following is/are part of modern “Smart Policing” initiatives in India?
- Facial recognition integrated with CCTV surveillance.
- Drone-based crowd monitoring.
- AI-enabled crime mapping.
- Blockchain-based FIR registration.
Select the correct answer using the code below:
A. 1, 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 3 and 4 only
C. 2 and 4 only
D. 1, 2, 3 and 4
✅ Answer: A. 1, 2 and 3 only
Explanation: Blockchain-based FIR registration is not in mainstream deployment in India.
2. GISAT-2 Launch by ISRO
Q3. Consider the following pairs:
| Satellite | Primary Function |
| 1. Cartosat-3 | High-resolution mapping |
| 2. RISAT-2B | All-weather radar imaging |
| 3. GISAT-2 | Real-time earth observation from geostationary orbit |
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
A. Only one
B. Only two
C. All three
D. None
✅ Answer: C. All three
Explanation: All three satellites serve the functions mentioned; GISAT-2 is geostationary for continuous coverage.
Q4. Which of the following statements correctly distinguishes a geostationary orbit from a sun-synchronous orbit?
A. Geostationary orbits are low-earth orbits, whereas sun-synchronous orbits are high-earth orbits.
B. Geostationary orbits maintain a constant position relative to the Earth’s surface, whereas sun-synchronous orbits pass over the same region at the same local solar time.
C. Sun-synchronous orbits are used for weather monitoring, whereas geostationary orbits are used only for communications.
D. Geostationary orbits are always polar, whereas sun-synchronous orbits are equatorial.
✅ Answer: B
Explanation: Geostationary stays fixed relative to Earth’s rotation; sun-synchronous maintains consistent local solar time overpasses.
3. Digital Crop Survey in Assam
Q5. In the context of agricultural data collection in India, consider the following:
- Digital Crop Survey uses remote sensing and geo-tagged field surveys for crop identification.
- The programme is implemented only in Assam.

- Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)
- National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC)
Select the correct answer using the code below:
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
✅ Answer: D. 1, 2 and 3
Explanation: NESAC, ICAR, and NRSC all have roles in agricultural monitoring and data integration.
4. Green Methanol Plant in Assam
Q7. Which of the following are sources for producing green methanol?
- Renewable hydrogen from electrolysis.
- Captured carbon dioxide from industrial processes.
- Biomass gasification.
- Methane extracted from coal seams.

A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1, 2 and 3 only
C. 2, 3 and 4 only
D. 1, 2, 3 and 4
✅ Answer: B. 1, 2 and 3 only
Explanation: Methane from coal seams is fossil-based and not part of “green” methanol production.
Q8. The concept of a “Methanol Economy” is primarily aimed at:
A. Replacing fossil fuels with methanol as a clean energy carrier and feedstock.
B. Using methanol only for medical purposes.
C. Making methanol the base for all plastics manufacturing.
D. Producing methanol only for export purposes.
✅ Answer: A
