Read the passage and answer. PASSAGE: The latest retail inflation data once again highlights the continuous volatility in food prices, which continues to impact overall inflation and economic growth. In February, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) remained almost unchanged from the previous month at 5.09%. However, food inflation, measured by the Consumer Food Price Index, rose by 36 basis points to 8.66%. Vegetable prices remained the most concerning, with inflation surging to 30.3% year-on-year. Cereal inflation remained high at 7.6%, only slightly lower than January's 7.83%. The potato-onion-tomato group played a key role in driving vegetable inflation: potato prices shot up to 12.4%, onion prices surged by 22.1%, and tomato inflation rose to a six-month high of 42%. Despite government interventions such as a three-month-old ban on onion exports, prices remain high. Onion production in 2023-24 is expected to decline by over 15.6% and potato production by nearly 2%. Water storage levels at 150 reservoirs were at 40% of capacity as of March 14, lagging behind the 10-year average and last year's levels, with the deficit particularly severe in the southern region (29%). RBI Deputy Governor Michael Patra warned that high food inflation is weighing heavily on private consumption, which constitutes 57% of GDP, especially in rural areas. QUESTION: Which of the following statement/s is/are true based on the passage? (I) The CPI in February increased significantly compared to the previous month.

Read the passage and answer. PASSAGE: With the United States recently lifting its ban on online betting, the digital gambling landscape has experienced a significant paradigm shift, redefining the intersection between technology and wagering. Once constrained by stringent regulations, platforms facilitating poker, online casinos, and sports betting are now flourishing, attracting an influx of new participants, particularly among the youth. This legislative reversal has catalyzed a global ripple effect, influencing betting dynamics in Europe and beyond. Unlike traditional casinos, online betting platforms leverage advanced digital algorithms, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology to ensure seamless transactions and enhanced security. The integration of live-streaming services within sports betting platforms has heightened real-time interaction. One of the most pronounced impacts is the surge in sports engagement, with the younger demographic showing heightened interest; Europe has particularly benefited, with increased viewership and revenue streams for clubs and leagues, and responsible gambling initiatives helping mitigate downsides. However, the rapid expansion carries inherent risks: accessibility and anonymity can foster addictive behaviors, a lack of financial literacy exacerbates potential losses, and concerns over data privacy, fraud and unregulated markets persist. Striking a balance between economic benefits and responsible gaming policies will be paramount. QUESTION: Which of the following statements is/are correct according to the passage? (I) The legalization of online betting in the United States has influenced global betting trends, including in Europe.
