Science & Technology MCQs

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), also known as quantum-safe cryptography, refers to cryptographic algorithms that are resistant to attacks by both classical and quantum computers. It is a crucial area of research for future cybersecurity.

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) uses quantum mechanical properties to establish a secure cryptographic key between two parties, making it theoretically impossible to eavesdrop without detection.

Quantum computers, with algorithms like Shor's algorithm, have the potential to break widely used public-key encryption standards (e.g., RSA, ECC) that secure most of today's digital communications.

The RLV-TD 'Pushpak' landing experiments (LEX-01, LEX-02, and LEX-03) were successfully conducted at the Aeronautical Test Range (ATR) in Chitradurga, Karnataka.

The primary objective of developing RLV technology is to achieve low-cost access to space by making launch vehicles reusable, similar to aircraft.

ISRO's Reusable Launch Vehicle Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD) is named 'Pushpak'. It recently completed its third successful landing experiment (LEX-03) at the Aeronautical Test Range (ATR), Chitradurga, Karnataka.

The BharatBenz 3532C is a 35-tonne heavy-duty tip truck, specifically designed for demanding applications in construction and mining sectors.

The news specifically mentions 'BharatBenz 3532C' as India's first indigenous heavy-duty truck.

Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), a subsidiary of Daimler Truck AG, launched the BharatBenz 3532C, India's first 35-tonne heavy-duty tip truck.

Early detection and treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy can significantly reduce the risk of severe vision loss and blindness.
