MCQs 2026

In QKD, the act of measuring a quantum state (like a photon carrying a key bit) inevitably disturbs it, alerting the legitimate users to the presence of an eavesdropper.

The network is a direct manifestation of India's strategic focus and investment in developing leadership in quantum technologies.

The primary advantage of a quantum communication network is its inherent security, making it ideal for protecting sensitive government and military communications.

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) uses quantum mechanics to generate and distribute cryptographic keys, ensuring that any eavesdropping attempt is detectable.

Quantum computing utilizes quantum phenomena like superposition (a qubit can be in multiple states simultaneously) and entanglement (two or more qubits are linked in such a way that they share the same fate, regardless of the distance separating them).

The passage states, 'Regulatory sandbox initiatives continue to foster innovation, allowing new fintech solutions to be tested in a controlled environment before wider deployment'.

The 'Impact/Significance' section states, 'A stronger banking system is crucial for robust credit growth, which is the lifeblood of economic expansion'.

The passage lists widespread adoption of digital lending platforms, expansion of neo-banks, and increased use of AI/ML for fraud detection. Reintroduction of physical passbooks would be contrary to digital transformation.

The passage states, 'Asset quality has shown remarkable improvement, with Gross NPAs (GNPAs) and Net NPAs (NNPAs) across scheduled commercial banks reaching multi-year lows'.

The passage mentions recapitalization of PSBs, implementation of IBC, and stringent asset quality reviews as measures. Reducing interest rates on all loans is a monetary policy tool, not a direct NPA resolution measure.
