North-Eastern states can have Tropical Evergreen and Alpine together. It rains a lot in patches and they located at a suitable elevation. Also scrub vegetation by its very nature is scanty. So I guess it's D. I might be wrong though.

A

I had some logic for saying this but can someone tell me if it makes sense. First statement seems possible given that both are tropical subtypes (besides i think Karnataka shola forests do fall under both categories). The second one is also possible if we consider Andaman and Nicobar or Lakshadweep. The third cannot be possible because logically tropical evergreen and alpine cannot exist in the same geographical area (would have been doubtful had it been tropical deciduous), eliminating which gives us the answer as A. But to confirm the last one as well, if we think of any of the islands they do not have scrub forests as per my knowledge. Feel free to point out my logical fallacies

While thinking about 3 as wrong did you consider north eastern Himalaya states?Mujhe toh sahi lag raha hai ye(not sure)

According to this map, Arunachal does have both. 

http://arunachalforests.gov.in/  - here too they say Tropical Evergreen and Alpine both are found in the state. 

Yes I did check it out after you said Arunachal

Ok i didnt see such a response coming.

The answer isC.

1. Tropical EvergreenandTropical Dry Deciduousforests coexistinstates suchasMaharashtraandKarnataka.

2. States such asKerala(Western ghats+coastal districtsofKannur,Kozhikode, Ernakulam and Alleppey) and West Bengalconsist of both  wet evergreen forests andmangroveforest

3.States such asUttarakhandandArunachalPradesh consists of both tropical evergreen forests andAlpine vegetation

4. According to ISFR 2019, Goa,LakshadweepandPuducherryhavezeroscrub forest vegetation.

Thank you for the response !

Just googled him. If this is what his mom had to say about his oversmartness I wanna know what she said about his haircut 🤣

A very interesting fact about him is that he traced the origin of his philosophical thought back to Upnishads. He studied Gita and Vedas at length. Little did Poor Ms Johanna knew that this guy would lay the building blocks for existentialist.

Whenever you feel like your parents do not appreciate you enough, always remember that a guy named Arthur had it worse.

Wow! 

To be fair I'm sure many people would find existentialists annoying so she may not be wrong xD

I got confused between wet deciduous and evergreen in the case of the north eastern states. But as far as scrub goes, the map doesn’t show scrub in all the states, even while reading the fact that it mentioned all states and UTs sounded a little odd to me

Yepp. They often get misunderstood for saying nothing matters. Not that I understand them properly myself, but I find them more interesting than say a higher logos and an imaginary ideal Form.

He also bases the idea that all of life is unhappiness from the Buddhist concept of dukkha

That's new info for me. But I am not surprised. In his early days, Buddha practicedSamkhya,which places itself in the infallibility of Vedas. So a lot of philosophical thought is common to both.

C?


I didn't solution was already posted. One could've eliminated 4th statement as scrub forest would be hard to found in Andaman and Lakshadweep. Also, their small size makes it all possible. 







Apart from this, I had a carbon emission doubt for the past one year. It is related to a video posted just now. 




When we say plant or animal emitting carbon, isn't it a bit of a misnomer? Since they used up CO2 present in the air to build up their biomass, eventually, that is being released into the air. So, no net addition. Whereas, if you look at fossil fuels you're introducing new carbon from deep down the earth surface into the air. You're actually adding the carbon here. Emission by plants and animals is just a part of the self-sustaining carbon cycle. 






For all those who will be disputing that biomass isn't made up of CO2 present in air, you're wrong :p Biomass isn't created from soil.

Most Indian philosophy have threads of continuity to them
