d) 1 and 3 only

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a secure communication method which implements a cryptographic protocol involving components of quantum mechanics. It enables two parties to produce a shared random secret key known only to them, which can then be used to encrypt and decrypt messages. Hence , statement 1 is correct.
The security of encryption that uses quantum key distribution relies on the foundations of quantum mechanics, in contrast to traditional public key cryptography, which relies on the computational difficulty of certain mathematical functions, and cannot provide any mathematical proof as to the actual complexity of reversing the one-way functions used. Hence , statement 2 is incorrect.

b) IndiGo

IndiGo became the first airline in Asia to use the indigenously developed satellite-based navigation system ‘GAGAN’ during landing.
The system has been jointly developed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the Indian Space Research Organisation. It provides corrections to the global positioning system (GPS) signal to improve air traffic management, with the help of reference and uplink stations.

a) Atal Tunnel

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) Engineering Marvel Atal Tunnel built in Rohtang of Himachal Pradesh received Indian Building Congress (IBC) ‘Best Infrastructure Project’ award on April 28, 2022 in New Delhi.

b) Ministry of Labour & Employment

According to the Labour and Employment Ministry’s third Quarterly Employment Survey (QES) report, over 4 lakh jobs were created in firms with 10 or more workers in 9 selected sectors in October-December 2021.
The Ministry’s survey, which covered 10,834 units established before 2013-14 in the third round, found employment had increased from 3.10 crore in July-September 2021 to 3.145 crore in the next quarter.
