Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 points‘ELISA’ test is employed to diagnose
Correct
The Supreme Court has decided to look into whether blood banks should compulsorily conduct Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) for identification of diseases.

A Bench of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M. Pancholi asked advocate A. Velan, counsel for petitioner-NGO Sarvesham Mangalam Foundation, about the cost-effectiveness of NAT compared with the more commonly used Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) test.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following pairs is not correctly matched? (International Boundaries – Between Countries)
Correct
The Durand Line is the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is the 2,611-km border drawn during British colonial rule in the 19th century. It was the result of an 1893 agreement between Sir Mortimer Durand, a secretary of the British Indian government, and Abdur Rahman Khan, the emir of Afghanistan.
The Durand Line came into existence as a result of the so-called Great Game — a geopolitical struggle between Russia and the British Empire for control of Central Asia. To stop Russia from expanding its sphere of influence in the region, Britain sought to make Afghanistan a buffer between its and Moscow’s spheres of influence.
