Bihar quiz

Questions from recent stories about Bihar. One attempt per question.

Q1
Consider the following statements regarding decisions approved in the recent Bihar Cabinet meeting:
1. 1.A budget of ₹18.21 crore was approved for the construction of an underground road corridor in Patna.
2. 2.The Bihar Artificial Intelligence Policy-2026 was approved to promote AI use in agriculture, health, and education.
3. 3.New City Superintendent of Police (SP) posts were created for the cities of Gaya, Bhagalpur, and Muzaffarpur.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation: Statement 1 is incorrect because ₹18.21 crore was approved for the feasibility study of the underground road corridor, not for its construction. Statement 2 is correct as per the article. Statement 3 is incorrect; the new City SP posts were created for Motihari, Purnia, and Chapra, not Gaya, Bhagalpur, and Muzaffarpur.
Q2
Consider the following statements regarding the 2026 Bihar Legislative Council elections:
1. 1.The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won a majority of the eight seats that went to polls.
2. 2.The Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) made its electoral debut by winning the Patna graduates' constituency.
3. 3.The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) candidate defeated a five-term BJP MLC to win the Patna seat.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation: Only statement 3 is supported: the article says an RJD candidate defeated five-term BJP MLC in Patna. Statement 1 is false (NDA won 4 of 8, not a majority) and statement 2 is false (JSP won Darbhanga teachers', not Patna).
Q3
What is the total budget approved by the Bihar Cabinet to strengthen the electricity distribution system in the state over three years?
Explanation: The article explicitly states that ₹11,096.55 crore will be spent over three years to strengthen the power distribution system by replacing old LT cables and upgrading transformers. ₹18.21 crore is for the Patna road feasibility study, making it a close distractor.
Q4
How many seats did the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) win in the 2026 Bihar Legislative Council elections for graduates' and teachers' constituencies?
Explanation: The article states that the NDA improved its tally from three seats to four in the elections to the eight Bihar Legislative Council seats. Therefore, the NDA won a total of 4 seats.
Q5
What is a primary objective of the Bihar Cabinet's decision to create City Superintendent of Police (SP) posts in Motihari, Purnia, and Chapra?
Explanation: The article states that the decision was taken in view of rising crime and law and order situation. Creating City SP posts is an administrative step to decentralize policing and provide focused leadership for law and order in specific urban jurisdictions, which are expanding.
Q6
What is the most significant implication of the Jan Suraaj Party's (JSP) performance in the 2026 Bihar MLC elections, as per the analysis?
Explanation: The article analysis suggests that JSP's victory in the Darbhanga teachers' seat and its showing in Patna indicates its ability to attract voters in graduates' and teachers' constituencies, which represent an educated electorate. This shows an expansion of its appeal beyond the support base built through its earlier campaigns.
