5.	Project LOON is related to1. Waste-Management Technology2. Wireless Communication Technology3. Solar Energy Production Technology4. Water-Conservation Technology
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Wireless Communication Technology The correct answer is Wireless Communication Technology. Balloon-powered Internet: Project Loon is a network of balloons traveling on the edge of space, designed to connect people in rural and remote areas, help fill coverage gaps, and bring people back online after disasters. How it exactly works? Project Loon balloons travel approximately 20 km above the Earth’s surface in the stratosphere. Winds in the stratosphere are stratified, and each layer of wind varies in speed and direction. Project Loon uses software algorithms to determine where its balloons need to go, then moves each one into a layer of wind blowing in the right direction. By moving with the wind, the balloons can be arranged to form one large communications network. How is the Loon designed? The inflatable part of the balloon is called a balloon envelope. Each balloon’s electronics are powered by an array of solar panels. The panels produce approximately 100 Watts of power in full sun, which is enough to keep Loon’s electronics running. Project Loon is able to power itself using entirely renewable energy sources.

7.	World's first country to have cashless economy1. Canada2. Sweden3. France4. Belgium
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Sweden The correct answer is Sweden. Sweden is World's first country to have a cashless economy. In 2023, Sweden is proudly becoming the first cashless nation in the world, with an economy that goes 100 percent digital. Currently, about 80 percent of Swedes use cards with 58 percent of payments being made by card and only six percent made in cash, according to the Swedish Central Bank. Sweden is one of the best examples of the results of efforts to create a cashless society. Sweden is exceptional in that the amount of cash in circulation has reduced substantially. A popular mobile payment app, Swish, used by half of the country’s 10 million population, enables payment transfers to people and businesses. For "safety regulations", the maximum amount a bank customer could withdraw was about 5,000 to 10,000 SEK per week, and similar "security rules" for deposits were established as well. A cashless society describes an economic state whereby financial transactions are not conducted with money in the form of physical banknotes or coins, but rather through the transfer of digital information (usually an electronic representation of money) between the transacting parties. The trend towards the use of non-cash transactions and settlement began in daily life during the 1990s when electronic banking became popular. Dhasai, a quaint village in Murbad taluka located about 100 km to the northeast of Mumbai, embraced a cashless economy on December 1 last year, roughly a month after demonetisation.
