Three satellites are located in the geostationary orbit and the remaining four are located in geosynchronous orbits.It is designed to provide accurate position information service to users in India as well as the region extending up to 1500 km from its boundary, which is its primary service area. Hence, Statement 2 is NOT correct.An Extended Service Area lies between primary service area and area enclosed by the rectangle from Latitude 30 deg South to 50 deg North, Longitude 30 deg East to 130 deg East.IRNSS provides two types of services, namely, Standard Positioning Service (SPS) which is provided to all the users and Restricted Service (RS), which is an encrypted service provided only to the authorised users.Applications of IRNSS are:Terrestrial, Aerial and Marine NavigationDisaster ManagementVehicle tracking and fleet managementIntegration with mobile phonesPrecise TimingMapping and Geodetic data captureTerrestrial navigation aid for hikers and travellersVisual and voice navigation for drivers Explanation: IRNSS consists of a constellation of eight satellites, NavIC.

Fuel cells could power our cars, with hydrogen replacing petroleum fuels. Explanation: If pure hydrogen is used as a fuel, fuel cells emit only heat and water as byproducts. Fuel cells could power our cars, with hydrogen replacing petroleum fuels. 3 / 5 Consider the following organisations/ bodies in India:The National Commission for Backward ClassesThe National Human Rights CommissionThe National Law CommissionsThe National Consumer Disputes Redressal CommissionHow many of the above are constitutional bodies? 1 only 2 only 3 only All four Explanation:The National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC):This body was initially established by an act in the Parliament in 1993, but it was not a constitutional body then.It became a constitutional body after the President of India assented to the Constitution (102nd Amendment) Act, 2018. This act provides constitutional status to the NCBC.The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC):The NHRC is a statutory body established by the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.It is not a constitutional body.The National Law Commission:A Law Commission of India, is neither a constitutional nor a statutory body. Instead, it is an executive body established by an order of the Government of India.The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC):The NCDRC is a statutory body set up under the Consumer Protection Act of 1986 (replaced by the Consumer Protection Act 2019).It is not a constitutional body.Hence among the organisations mentioned, only the National Commission for Backward Classes is a constitutional body out of the four bodies listed. Hence the correct answer is Only One.
