[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.


@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.

@Badluram No where in sense or by words Author mentioned that Distribution of wealth will MINIMIZE risk...Show me in sense or word MINIMIZING risk by Distribution of wealth...Passage Author Talks about People Risk taking behavior of wealth investment ...he neither suggested anywhere MINIMIZING of Risk ...so Option A is Wrong

Yaar maine iska B lagaya hai.

B is the answer. Don't worry.. The entire passage talks about the low risk taking attitude of indians.  The passage wants us to invest in such risk taking investments rather than boring FD's and saving accounts.. Original article chahe kuch bhi kahe but the given passage meant this only.  Baaki let people say anything.  Everyone wants their answer right including me

@srk1031147 2019: Government replied in Rajya Sabha, “As far as market-linking of urea prices is concerned, the MRP of urea is statutorily fixed by the Government. Whereas, MRP of Phosphatic and Potassic (P&K) Fertilizers the  manufacturers/marketers are allowed to fix the MRP at reasonable rates as per market dynamics.” Therefore first statement is not fully correct.
this is mrunal explanation
by this explanation it is clear that MRP of non urea fertilisers are fixed as per market dynamics.
Companies who are getting subsidies are not translating benefits to farmers.
Now question is whether subsidy given by govt can be said to be as govt administering the prices of chemical fertilisers.???
but everywhere it is written that for urea price is controlled by govt while for others govt just provide subsidies to companies......hence I think there is some difference bw price mechanism of urea and other chemical fertilisers. hence a option must be correct



I knew this. That Urea price is still controlled by govt. Got super confused.

This year passages required you to apply your knowledge on top of the given information in the passage. Which is sad because that is not what RC is about. Reading just the passage, interlinking of rivers cannot be concluded. Similarly , genome editing and anything about the transfer of genes from one plant of another cannot be said. Subsidies are not even being talked about in the passage related to gas based and renewable economy. You can't give wrong instructions by saying your answers should be based solely on the passages and then give such dubious options that require you to think beyond the passages.

@MarcusFenix yes but in chemical fertilisers only urea price is controlled by govt, other chemical fertilisers retail price is market driven.
in question statement is ----At present, the retail price of chemical fertilizers is market -driven and not administered by the Government.
if seen generally this statement is correct.
If I say opposite of this---- the retail price of chemical fertilizers is NOT market -driven and administered by the Government ----this would be staitaway wrong

@amar1902 see i think u dont have to be so rigid. Lot many seriuos candidates like serving bureaucrats , doctors, medics, last attemptees worrying about uncertainity bleak future and ambiguous supreme court judgement certainly affects them. Evem csat paper was a killer this year. When no one knows the complete picture, one should about being a judge .
