Study
Consider the following statements:
- According to a recently published study, the difference between a scenario where the Earth will be warmed by upto 1.8 degrees Celsius by the end of the 21st century and a scenario where the Earth will be warmed by upto 3.6 degrees Celsius depends on the social system.
- The study says that there is a “strong probability” of warming between 1 and 2 degrees Celsius at the end of the century.
- As regards global warming, one of the most prominent temperature-control goals is the figure of 1.5 degrees Celsius, which is the target set out by the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement that was signed by 195 countries in 2015.

Aryabhatta Research Institute Of Observational Sciences (ARIES)
Consider the following statements:
- A recent study conducted by Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), Nainital, has shown that water vapour exhibits a positive radiative effect at the top of the atmosphere, suggesting an increase in overall warming in the high altitude Himalayas due to it.
- Aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions over this region, which are one of the most climate-sensitive regions, are poorly understood, apparently, due to a lack of proper observational data.
- Precipitable Water Vapour (PWV) is one of the most rapidly varying components in the atmosphere and is mainly accumulated in the upper troposphere.

Multi-Stage Memetic Binary Tree Anomaly Identifier (MSMBTAI)
Consider the following statements:
- Recently, Indian Astronomers, utilising an Artificial Intelligence-based algorithm, have devised a new approach for identifying potentially habitable planets.
- The AI-based method, named Multi-Stage Memetic Binary Tree Anomaly Identifier (MSMBTAI), is based on a novel multi-stage memetic algorithm (MSMA).
- The method is based on the postulate that Earth - being the only habitable planet among thousands of planets - is an anomaly, with the possibility of existence of few other anomalies among thousands of data points.

Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI)
Consider the following statements:
- Recently, Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) carried out coastal vulnerability assessment for entire Indian coast at states level to bring out an Atlas comprising 156 maps on 1:1,00,000 scales to prepare a Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI).
- It is also being planned to carry out a coastal Multi-Hazard Vulnerability Mapping (MHVM).
- Coastal vulnerability is a spatial concept that identifies people and places that are susceptible to disturbances resulting from coastal hazards such as coastal storms, sea level rise and erosion, etc.

Indian Scientists
Consider the following statements:
- Recently, Indian scientists, along with international collaborators from Brazil and France, have derived the accurate value of Pluto’s atmospheric pressure at its surface.
- The atmospheric pressure of Pluto was found to be 8.23 μbar, which is over 80,000 times less than the atmospheric pressure at mean sea level on Earth.
- In astronomy, an occultation happens when a celestial object gets hidden from the view of the observer due to another celestial object passing in between them.

Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT)
Consider the following statements:
- Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) consists of 30 fully steerable gigantic parabolic dishes of 45m diameter each, spread over distances of up to 25 km.
- The metre wavelength part of the radio spectrum has been particularly chosen for study with GMRT because man-made radio interference is considerably lower in this part of the spectrum in India.
- GMRT is located in Hyderabad.
