• Statement 1 is incorrect: Gross Value Added (GVA) provides a picture of the economy from the supply side. It maps the value added by different sectors such as agriculture, industry, and services, providing a proxy for income earned in various sectors.
• Statement 2 is incorrect: Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) provides a picture from the demand side. It represents all goods and services (e.g., toothpaste, cars) purchased by private individuals in their individual capacity, constituting over 56% of total GDP.

Explanation:

• Statement 1 is correct: Under the new system, aggrieved passengers can file claims electronically 24x7 from any location, including while travelling or upon reaching their destination.

• Statement 2 is correct: It finances climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation in developing, emerging, and transition countries to implement and develop their NDCs under the Paris Agreement.
• Statement 3 is correct: Its four funding areas include adaptation to climate change impacts, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, preserving carbon sinks, and conserving biological diversity (implementing the Global Biodiversity Framework).

• Statement 1 is correct: Sky Sting is a 6th-generation beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) developed by Rafael Advanced Defence Systems Ltd., an Israeli defence technology company.
• Statement 2 is correct: It is light enough to be carried by the Tejas Mk1A and is also compatible with the Su-30MKI.
• Statement 3 is correct: It uses a three-pulse solid-fuel rocket motor enabling end-game speeds exceeding Mach 5 (hypersonic). Its radio-frequency seeker supported by AI-driven target discrimination and jam-resistant technology allows precise lock-on and robust electronic counter-countermeasures, specifically designed to address challenges like stealth targets.
