Explanations

Explanation to Question 1: e

• Apple has appointed Amar Subramanya, a seasoned technology researcher, as its new Vice President of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
• He replaces John Giannandrea, who previously headed the company’s AI efforts.
• Giannandrea will now continue in an advisory role before officially retiring in spring 2026.
• The change marks a significant move in Apple’s AI leadership as the company intensifies focus on next-generation AI capabilities.

Explanation to Question 2: a

• The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has retained its ‘C’ grade for India’s national accounts and government finance statistics for 2025, indicating methodological shortcomings that partly hinder economic surveillance.
• The IMF’s Data Adequacy Assessment ranks countries from A (adequate) to D (serious shortcomings); a ‘C’ grade means the data “somewhat hamper surveillance”.
• Key Weaknesses in National Accounts (GDP):
  • Continued use of the 2011–12 base year, which no longer reflects current economic patterns.
  • Use of WPI-based deflators and single deflation, whereas IMF recommends PPI-based deflators and double deflation.
  • Persistent discrepancies between production- and expenditure-side GDP.
  • Lack of high-frequency, sector-wise, and seasonally adjusted data.
• IMF Recommendations:
  • Prioritise national statistical reforms such as completing the population census.
  • Strengthen state-level statistical systems and adopt modern digital data tools.
  • Regularly revise GDP and CPI series; establish a Statistical Audit Authority.
• Government Actions:
  • India is implementing a major statistical overhaul with:
    • New GDP series (base year 2022–23) to be released in February 2026.
    • New CPI series (base year 2024) also to be launched in February 2026.

Explanation to Question 3: c

• Punjab National Bank (PNB) has appointed Indian Women’s Cricket Captain Harmanpreet Kaur as its first-ever female brand ambassador.
• This move supports PNB’s broader brand transformation strategy, aiming to strengthen its connection with younger and diverse customer segments.
• The announcement was made at PNB’s Corporate Office in New Delhi, during a ceremony themed “Banking On Champions.”

Explanation to Question 4: b

• The International Day of Persons with Disabilities is observed every year on 3 December to promote disability inclusion and raise global awareness on the rights and dignity of Persons with Disabilities (PwDs).
• The theme for 2025 is: “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress.”
• The day reinforces the global commitment to equity, accessibility, inclusivity, and social justice for PwDs across all spheres of life.
• IDPD was proclaimed in 1992 by UN General Assembly Resolution 47/3.
• Its primary aim is to enhance awareness about the situation of PwDs in political, social, economic, and cultural life.
• The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), adopted in 2006, further strengthens global efforts to protect and promote the rights of PwDs.
• The IDPD aligns with international frameworks including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, emphasising “Leave No One Behind.”

Explanation to Question 5: b

• The 14th edition of the annual India–Maldives military exercise EKUVERIN is being conducted from 3 to 15 December 2025 in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.
• The word “Ekuverin” means “Friends” in the Dhivehi language spoken in the Maldives.
• EKUVERIN is one of the key bilateral defence exercises, conducted alternately in India and the Maldives every year.
• The exercise aims to enhance interoperability between the armies of both nations, especially in counterinsurgency (CI) and counterterrorism (CT) operations across semi-urban, jungle, and coastal terrain.
• It includes the integration of niche and emerging technologies, joint tactical training, and exchange of best practices.
• The exercise underscores the shared commitment of India and the Maldives toward regional peace and security.
