Which country has become the 4th largest automotive market?
A)
China
B)
India
C)
Russia
D)
United States

Correct Answer : Option (B) - India

Note :

India, which is the fourth(4th) largest automotive market in the world, is set to see a growth of 10% in 2022 on strong underlying demand reflecting the general economic recovery and consumers' preference for personal vehicles over public transportation, the report said. India had seen a 27% growth in 2021.
 
The research firm has, however, lowered the global vehicle sales forecast on supply chain problems & the invasion of Ukraine. The reduced forecast for global light vehicle sales is mainly the result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it said.
 
Moody’s has revised its forecast for Asia-Pacific from a 4.7% growth seen earlier to 3.4% now, reflecting further temporary Covid-related lockdowns that could constrain supply chains and production in the region..

India has banned the export of which food grain?
A)
Wheat
B)
Rice
C)
Corn
D)
Barley

Correct Answer : Option (A) - Wheat

Note :

India has banned exports of wheat effective immediately, citing a risk to food security, partly due to the war in Ukraine and as a scorching heatwave curtailed output and domestic prices hit a record high.
 
Although not one of the world’s top wheat exporters, India’s ban could drive global prices to new peaks given already tight supply, hitting poor consumers in Asia and Africa particularly hard.
 
Agriculture ministers from the G7 industrialised nations immediately condemned India’s decision on Saturday(14th May 2022).
 
“If everyone starts to impose export restrictions or to close markets, that would worsen the crisis,” German agriculture minister Cem Ozdemir said at a news conference in Stuttgart.
 
Government officials in New Delhi said on Saturday(14th May 2022) that India would still allow exports backed by already issued letters of credit and to countries that request supplies “to meet their food security needs”.
