Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
1. The loss in earnings that farmers see due to extreme weather events or erratic seasonality is, by now, accepted as the most widely felt economic impact of climate change. Farmers were the first people to feel the impacts of climate change, which ultimately affects the country's overall agricultural output and adds to food inflation. High food prices, in turn, could result in people slashing down consumption, which adversely impacts nutritional security.
2. A significant number of farming households produce food for their own consumption. These households have given birth to an old saying : those who eat their own food are the healthiest. In countries like India, where malnutrition is high and food insecurity is a nagging constant, such households have used the home production system to remain out of this crisis. As studies point out, these households are also protected from market fluctuations, thus ensuring that they can afford healthy food. Obviously, they are not impacted by food inflation either.
3. But there are serious conversations taking place over how climate change-induced extreme weather events would impact such households. We need to understand the link between nutrition intake and household food production, and whether weather fluctuations would have any impact on this. Researchers have analysed village level data from households with their own food production and consumption, and co-related this with the local weather conditions to infer whether there was a correlation. The paper establishes that people growing their own food consume more, thus adding to nutrition levels and attaining overall food security. There was also reduction in child stunting and underweight conditions as well as women achieving a normal body mass index. These trends are more pronounced in remote villages.

| 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 |
| 4 | 7 | 3 | 3 |
| 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| 6 | 7 | 3 | 2 |
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
There are 11 pixels with \(U \le 4\).
Count row by row the entries that are 4 or less:
- Row 1 (0, 1, 0, 2): all 4
- Row 2 (4, 7, 3, 3): 4, 3, 3, that is 3
- Row 3 (5, 5, 4, 4): the two 4s, that is 2
- Row 4 (6, 7, 3, 2): 3 and 2, that is 2
The total is 4 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 11. Counting only values strictly below 4 drops the three 4s and gives 8, which is the trap in option B. 9 and 3 miss further entries.

C is facing the centre. E is sitting third to the right of C.
F is sitting third to the left of E. Three persons are sitting between F and B. The immediate neighbours of B are females. G is sitting third to the right of F. D is sitting third to the right of A. A is not an immediate neighbour of E. The immediate neighbours of E are males and are facing the centre. The immediate neighbours of D are females and face outside. The one sitting third to the left of B is a male. No female is an immediate neighbour of G.
Who is sitting second to the right of E?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: G
Five face the centre and three face outward, so “left” and “right” must be read from each person’s own seat: for someone facing the centre the left is clockwise, for someone facing outward it is anticlockwise.
C faces the centre, which fixes E three seats away; F three to E’s left only works if E faces outward, and B is then four seats from F, opposite. Since E’s neighbours face the centre and D’s face outward, D can only sit where one of his neighbours is E - and A three to D’s right then falls into a single seat. The sex constraints do the rest: B’s neighbours are female, E’s are male, and G may have no female beside him.
Clockwise the table reads C (m, centre) → A (m, outward) → F (f, centre) → H (f, outward) → D (m, centre) → E (f, outward) → B (m, centre) → G (f, centre) - four of each sex, and A, H and E the three facing outward.
E faces outward, so her right is the next seat clockwise. Two seats that way gives B and then G.

Which statement is incorrect with regard to household food production ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)

The incorrect statement is 'Increase in number of malnourished children'.
The study reported a reduction in child stunting and underweight conditions in households with their own food production.
The other three statements are in the passage: nutritional intake improved, such households consumed more, and women attained a normal body mass index.

The monsoon regions of South and South-East Asia are the most densely populated on Earth. Reliable summer rainfall, fertile alluvial plains and the ability to grow two or even three rice crops a year support enormous rural populations in the Ganga, Indus, Mekong and Yangtze basins.
