Consider the following pairs:

Terms sometimes seen in news – Context/ Topic
1. Belle II – Artificial Intelligence
2. Blockchain technology – Digital/ Cryptocurrency
3. CRISPR – Cas9 – Particle Physics

Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?

1 and 3 only
2 only
2 and 3 only
1, 2 and 3
This question was previously asked in
UPSC IAS – 2018
This question asks to identify the correctly matched pairs of terms and their contexts.
1. Belle II is a particle physics experiment located at the KEK laboratory in Japan. It is designed to study B mesons and search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. It is related to Particle Physics, not Artificial Intelligence. Pair 1 is incorrectly matched.
2. Blockchain technology is the decentralized ledger technology that underlies many cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. It is widely discussed in the context of digital currencies, distributed systems, and secure transactions. Pair 2 is correctly matched.
3. CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary gene-editing technology that allows scientists to precisely modify DNA sequences. It is used in genetics, molecular biology, and biotechnology for research and therapeutic purposes. It is not related to Particle Physics. Pair 3 is incorrectly matched.
Only the pair “Blockchain technology – Digital/ Cryptocurrency” is correctly matched.
