UPSC Previous Year Question | Prelims GS | 2025

Consider the following statements: I. It is expected that Majorana 1 chip will enable quantum computing. II. Majorana 1 chip has been introduced by Amazon Web Services (AWS). III. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning. Which of the statements given above are correct?

  1. I and II only
  2. II and III only
  3. I and III only
  4. I, II and III

Answer

Correct Answer

I and III only

Explanation

The Majorana 1 chip, aimed at enabling scalable quantum computing using topological qubits, was introduced by Microsoft, not Amazon Web Services, so Statement II is incorrect. Statement I (its expected role in quantum computing) and Statement III (deep learning as a subset of machine learning) are both correct.
