Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/ phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

GoI recently announced an increase in the minimum support prices (MSPs) of major kharif crops for the 2018-19 marketing season to give farmers a fixed margin of 50-70% over their input costs and imputed labour cost. The median increase in the announced MSPs is 25%. While raising the MSPs, GoI has not announced the quantities it plans to procure.

Ideally, the quantities procured by GoI should be sufficient to push the market prices of the crops and equalise them to the MSPs. Procuring such quantities is optimal. The benefits of higher MSPs are then not restricted only to those farmers who manage to sell their crops to the government procurement agencies, but accrue also to those farmers who cannot.

Thus, GoI procuring optimal quantities of the crops can effectively address the long-standing farm distress, as all farmers, big or small, would significantly benefit from higher market prices or equivalently higher MSPs. Moreover, procuring optimal quantities can reduce, if not eliminate, corruption in procurement as the MSPs would no longer be higher than the market prices.

But procuring the optimal quantities of the crops may not be possible. GoI may not have the necessary infrastructure for procurement and storage and/or may have financial constraints. Then, the market prices of the crops with hiked MSPs may not rise despite government procurement if the private market players either believe that GoI, because of lack of infrastructure and/or funds, may procure only limited quantities, or fear that GoI, to reduce its excessive stocks, may release part of its existing stocks of the crops in the national market in the near future.

Like the US government in the 1960s-70s, GoI has recently decided to allow exports of dairy products (including milk powder) or give them away as aid to some friendly nations instead of funds.

This is because the market prices of milk have fallen, but both public and private stocks of dairy products are already excessive. No similar policy for crops with hiked MSPs, however, seems to be on the cards, even though GoI seems to have accumulated excessive stocks of many crops with hiked MSPs.

What was the reason behind the recent increase in the minimum support prices (MSPs) of major kharif crops for the 2018-19 marketing season ?

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/ Phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

The Supreme Court, by linking the right to clean and pollution-free environment to citizens’ right to life, has effectively slammed the door on prevarication by vehicle manufacturer on leapfrogging from Bharat Stage-IV norms to BS-VI norms from April 1, 2020. The court expects a 68 per cent improvement in PM 2.5 emission once BS-VI norms are enforced. Two years back, the apex court had announced its intention to skip BS-V norms and adopt the next stage despite resistance from vehicle makers who had sought a one-year grace period. 

The Supreme Court has rightly stood its ground because all vehicle makers have foreign collaborators who in their home countries are already producing vehicles meeting higher emission control norms. As a result, the consumer is all set to reap a bonanza both in the immediate and medium terms. As auto makers will want zero inventory on April 1, 2020 when all new BS-IV vehicles will be banned, consumers should expect a war on prices around this time next year. But while citizens will breathe a little easier after new vehicles take to the roads from 2020, the owners will have to shell out 10 to 15 per cent more as part of their civic obligation to fellow citizens. 

The vehicle manufacturers will have to shift from BS IV norms to which of the following norms from 1st April, 2020?
