മെയിൻസ്
GS3 Economy: growth and development. An upgraded external forecast signals macro-economic resilience, but it rests on domestic demand, investment and stable inflation. Ranking high on AI readiness points to a digital-capability dividend; the way forward lies in skilling, compute and data infrastructure, and sustaining fiscal consolidation so that growth is inclusive and job-rich.

ഉത്തരം: D — Correct: Replenish warships at sea with fuel, water and stores — Fleet Support Ships are replenishment vessels that supply fuel, water, stores and ammunition to warships at sea. • Hunt enemy submarines in coastal waters — wrong: Hunting submarines is the role of anti-submarine warfare ships and aircraft, not support ships. • Land troops and armour on a hostile shore — wrong: Landing troops and armour is the role of amphibious ships such as landing platform docks. • Survey coastal waters and chart sea routes — wrong: Surveying and charting is the role of hydrographic survey vessels.
