Csat was tough. First paper attenpted 85. Machines gonna relax. Csat may destroy my mains hopes but machine says feels like its time to move on. I wont say i wont qualify but uts 50-50. If they want clerks/SSC exam aspirants to take over ias/ips/irs/ifs then fine. No wonder cut off fell to 87. Every time a person with 106 in paper 1 doesnt qualify cuz of csat, there is one csat guy who qualifies. I think its shame! I am fortunate i can afford to let these three years pass. Its alright. Its okay to not get upsc. There are bigger and better things to do than sit at home and do clerk level/ssc level math! I am a fricking engineer! Would rather prep for CAT if thats the case!Having a basic level of aptitude seems more important and relevant for a IAS/IPS than knowing a random medieval history fact.
well the number of difficult questions have increased significantly so it's definitely more than basic. It might even reach CAT level pretty soon at this rate, e.g. circular track question, large exponent based numbers comparison (didn't know I have to memorize log2 and log3 values for basic level or learn mclaurin series...). All these require learning special concepts so that you have ready made formulas to apply in the exam.
Guys anyone confirm the answer to this? Is it 40 or 40.4?On one side of a 1.01 km long road, 101
plants are planted at equal distance from
each other. What is the total distance
between 5 consecutive plants?
(a) 40 m
(b) 40-4 m
(c) 50 m
(d) 50.5 m
Here is my thinking:
For 101 lamps, there are 100 gaps: lamp-1
It's simpler to understand this if the question had (say) only 2 lamps.
so length of one gap = 1010/100 = 10.1m
now for five consecutive ones, there are 4 gaps (same logic as above) so 4*10.1 = 40.4m

I couldn't find climate tracker in red book, can you share the pg # or screenshot?
Thanks!@morsmodre Miyawaki, Biorock, climate tracker is in Environment Red Book of Forumias.
Searched for these in Vision's 2022 PT365 & Hindu of last 1 year (May onwards, with site:thehindu.com filter on google), and couldn't find most of them. That's why I asked.
Miyawaki was present in vision march 2021 magazine and biorock in jan 2020.
