  • 4. International solar alliance , wherein in 1st option UNFCCC is not spelled correctly, it seems a trap like last time there was in 30 degree N S option.

  • 5.in gram nyayalaya question second statement is correct but in many keys its answer is given as both wrong.
    If someone searches for keyword " gram nyayalay act local activist mediators" an article in down to earth will appear.
    According to it it can hear both civil and criminal cases and local activist mediation is also allowed.

    Bitcoins are not tracked by Central banks. No one can track it except the two people involved. Have some experience in trading Bitcoins.

    United nations climate change conference is the name of the conference that happened at Paris. The 1972 summit was called conference on human environment, similarly 2015 summit is called conference on climate change. It is different from unfcc. Unfcc is a permanent body, while United nations climate change conference refers only to that conference.

    This is not true. The main feature of bitcoin is that all transactions are broadcast to everyone. So you can track any transaction from the beginning of bitcoin. You can see bitcoin transaction happening live here https://blockchain.info/

    But I don't know if any central banks are tracking it right now. So not sure about option.
  • In millets question, there was an option that poor, small, marginal farmers have larger stake in this. How can this stmt be wrong ?

    Secondly in UNCCD mein, there is special/particular focus on North Africa and South Asia. I strongly feel this shud be right. But I am not able to find exact words in Google. Can somebody help here
  • In millets wala quedtion...statement that tribals n poor have large stake is definitely true
