In programming, a loop that executes at least once regardless of condition is called a ________ loop.
- Green
- Inversion
- Artifact / Model Registry
- do-while
Answer: do-while
do-while loop checks the condition AFTER executing the loop body, guaranteeing at least one execution. In contrast, while and for loops check condition BEFORE execution, potentially skipping the body entirely if condition is initially false. Syntax varies by language but logic remains consistent.
The protocol used for sending emails from a client to a server is ________.
- FAME
- SMTP
- NIDHI

Answer: 1,00,000
As of 2026, the standard UPI transaction limit is ₹1 lakh per transaction for most categories. Some categories like capital market, insurance, and mutual funds have higher limits (₹2-5 lakh). Limits may vary by bank and user risk profile. Always check latest RBI notifications for updates.
A security approach that assumes no user or device is trusted by default, even inside the network, is called ________ Trust.
- Zero
- Domain-Driven Design / DDD
- Ensemble
- Inversion
Answer: Zero
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity framework that requires strict identity verification for every person and device accessing resources on a private network, regardless of location. It follows 'never trust, always verify' principle, using micro-segmentation, least-privilege access, and continuous monitoring.
The technology that creates fully immersive digital environments replacing the real world is called ________ Reality.
- Compressed Air Energy / CAES
- Virtual
- Machine
- Cellular / Biological
Answer: Virtual
Virtual Reality (VR) creates simulated 3D environments that users can interact with using headsets and controllers. Unlike AR which augments reality, VR completely replaces the physical world. Applications include gaming, training simulations, virtual tours, and therapeutic uses.
The CBDC pilot testing cross-border payments with other central banks is called ________ Pilot.
- Events / Messages
- mBridge / Multi-CBDC
- Index / GCI
- Demand Assigned Multiple / DAMA
Answer: mBridge / Multi-CBDC
Multi-CBDC platforms (mBridge, Project Dunbar) test cross-border settlements using interoperable digital currencies. Aims to reduce cost, time, and intermediaries in international payments.
The technology that uses AI to optimize electric vehicle charging based on grid conditions is called ________ Charging.
- Transparency
- Smart / V2G
- Diversity
- Vector
Answer: Smart / V2G
Smart charging: AI optimizes EV charging timing based on grid load, renewable availability, electricity prices. V2G enables bidirectional flow for grid services. Critical for sustainable mobility integration.
The process of producing rocket fuel from lunar water ice is called ________ Production.
- Privacy / Anonymity
- Situ / ISRU
- Propellant / ISRU
- Effectiveness / PUE
Answer: Propellant / ISRU
In-situ propellant production: electrolyze lunar water ice into hydrogen/oxygen for rocket fuel. Enables lunar refueling depot for deep space missions, reducing Earth launch mass requirements.
The international body that sets standards for crypto asset service provider supervision is ________.
- Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers / ICANN
- FATF / Financial Action Task Force
- Function
- Logging / Audit Trail
Answer: FATF / Financial Action Task Force
