Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 30-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

FAQs about Poverty, Unemployment and Major Schemes – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 2

Why is the calorie requirement higher in rural areas?
People in rural areas usually do more physical work, so they need more energy. The poverty line therefore uses a higher calorie norm for rural areas than for urban areas.
What is frictional unemployment?
Frictional unemployment is the short period without work when a person moves from one job to another. It is usually temporary.
What are the dimensions of food security?
Food security has three dimensions: availability, accessibility and affordability of food for all people at all times.
What was the Targeted Public Distribution System?
TPDS replaced the universal PDS and set different prices for poor and non-poor households. Its aim was to target subsidised grain at the poor.
