Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation: Statement 1 is correct as per the article. Statement 2 is incorrect because the cess on bauxite was increased from 2% to 4%, not to 6%. Statement 3 is incorrect as work hours were increased from 9 to 10 hours per day, not reduced. Hence, only statement 1 is correct.
Q2
What is the sanctioned cost for the establishment of the Medico City group of hospitals, as approved by the Jharkhand Cabinet?
Explanation: The article clearly states that the Jharkhand Cabinet sanctioned Rs. 284.17 crore for the formation of the Medico City group, which will include super-specialty hospitals with 5000 beds. Rs. 545.38 crore is the amount sanctioned for the MGM Hospital building in Jamshedpur.
Q3
What is the primary objective behind the Jharkhand Cabinet's decision to categorize mineral blocks into 'partially explored' and 'fully explored' categories under its new policy?
Explanation: The article states the new policy will select an operational model for mineral blocks based on geological situation, financial needs, risks and commercial production; rewriting option B to mirror this wording removes the ambiguity and matches the article.
