🧠 Mini-Quiz: Add to Your Knowledge (3 MCQs)

Pick answers, hit Submit to reveal. Explanations expand the one-liners and clarify acronyms.
1. Concept • Aviation • MRO
In aviation, what does MRO stand for?
MRO — What it means for aviation Definition: MRO means Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul, covering routine checks, component repairs and full overhauls of aircraft and engines.
Context: A large MRO hub (like the LEAP-engine facility) supports heavy maintenance, shortens AOG (Aircraft on Ground) time and builds skilled technical jobs.
Why it matters: Local MRO capacity reduces dependency on overseas facilities and improves operational resilience for airlines.
2. Concept • Rare Earth Permanent Magnets (REPM) Scheme
The ₹7,280 crore scheme cleared by the Cabinet for Rare Earth Permanent Magnet (REPM) manufacturing targets which key sectors?
REPM scheme — Strategic sectors Scope: Rare Earth Permanent Magnets are critical in high-torque electric motors and actuators; the scheme targets EVs (Electric Vehicles), defence systems and aerospace applications.
Policy aim: Building an integrated REPM ecosystem reduces import dependence, secures supply chains for strategic tech and supports India’s Net Zero transition objectives by 2070.
Implication: Local production also aids job creation in advanced manufacturing and component supply chains.
3. Concept • Ozone Recovery
Which international agreement is primarily credited with the recovery of the Antarctic ozone hole?
Why the Montreal Protocol matters Agreement: The Montreal Protocol (1987) phased out ozone-depleting substances such as CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) and halons.
Effect: Global reductions in chlorine and bromine compounds led to gradual healing of the Antarctic ozone hole; scientific monitoring reports a shrinking hole in recent years.
Note: This is distinct from climate agreements like the Paris Agreement, which target greenhouse gases rather than ozone-depleting chemicals.
