2. Among the following, which is not an internal factor for industrial sickness?

Explanation

Power shortage is not an internal factor for industrial sickness because it is an external factor that is beyond the control of the company. Industrial sickness refers to the decline or deterioration of a company's financial health due to internal factors such as mismanagement or wrong dividend policy. Power shortage, on the other hand, is a result of external factors such as government policies or infrastructure issues, and it affects multiple industries rather than being specific to a particular company.

3. Among the following, which legislation may not be characterized as based on a 'rights-based approach'?

Explanation

The Pre-Conception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques Act may not be characterized as based on a 'rights-based approach' because it primarily focuses on regulating and preventing the misuse of prenatal diagnostic techniques to determine the sex of the fetus. It does not explicitly address or guarantee any specific rights or entitlements for individuals or communities. In contrast, the other legislations mentioned - Right to Information Act, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, and Right to Education Act - are all based on a rights-based approach as they aim to ensure and protect the rights of citizens to access information, employment, and education respectively.

Explanation

The disadvantage of WPI in India is that the services sector does not get covered. WPI primarily focuses on measuring the changes in the prices of goods at the wholesale level.

This limitation makes it difficult to capture the overall inflationary pressures in the economy accurately.
