Detailed Solved Questions

Representative high-yield questions with comprehensive explanations from recent BPSC papers

Q. 87 General Science 69th BPSC
Set A • Sept 2023
With reference to 5G technology recently deployed in India, consider the following statements:
  1. 5G supports enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) for high-speed internet.
  2. Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) is useful for remote surgery and autonomous vehicles.
  3. Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) enables large-scale IoT deployment in smart cities and agriculture.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 and 2 only
B 2 and 3 only
C 1 and 3 only
D 1, 2 and 3
Correct Answer: D — All three statements are correct
Detailed Explanation

All three statements accurately describe the three primary use cases of 5G technology as defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). eMBB delivers gigabit speeds for consumers. URLLC provides ultra-low latency (<1ms) critical for mission-critical applications like remote surgery and self-driving cars. mMTC supports up to 1 million devices per sq km, ideal for smart agriculture sensors in Bihar’s fields and smart city projects in Patna and Gaya.

Elimination tip: In BPSC, if all statements appear technically accurate and no option says “none”, D is often correct when they cover the standard framework.
Related: Smart City Mission, Digital Agriculture
Bihar Context: 5G rollout in Patna & upcoming in tier-2 cities
Q. 42 Modern History 69th BPSC
Set C • Sept 2023
The Champaran Satyagraha of 1917 is considered a landmark in India’s freedom struggle because:
A) It was the first major peasant movement led by Mahatma Gandhi in India
B) It successfully abolished the Tinkathia system of indigo cultivation
C) It led to the immediate arrest of all British planters in Bihar
D) It resulted in the formation of the first provincial Congress government
Correct Answer: B
Detailed Explanation

While Champaran was indeed Gandhi’s first major satyagraha in India (making A partially correct), the core achievement was the abolition of the exploitative Tinkathia system through the Champaran Agrarian Act of 1918. The movement forced the British to appoint the Champaran Agrarian Enquiry Committee, whose recommendations ended the forced cultivation of indigo. Option C is factually wrong; no mass arrests of planters happened. Option D refers to much later developments (1937 elections).

BPSC Favorite: Questions on Champaran, Kheda, Ahmedabad Mill Strike, and Non-Cooperation often test the “first experiment with Satyagraha” + outcome angle.
