To avoid confusion between the definition ofStunting, Wasting, and Underweightuse the following method.
Let Height=t,
Age =g,
Weight =w.
Now, Start from thebeginningof the word andlook forthevariable(t,g,w)whichever you encounterfirst will be low as compared to the next different encountered variableand once you havefound twovariablesdon't move aheadin the word. Thus it will form the definition.
Example:
Stunting- t occurs first and then g solow height for age
Wasting - w occurs first and then t solow weight for height
Underweight - w occurs first and then g solow weight for age

@AzadHindFauz As I had told you in some other thread there are many secrets in this UPSC preparation. But let them be buried as they were for these many years.
But it's good that these things become useful for aspirants.

To avoid confusion and remember the premium rate under PM Fasal Bima Yojana.
Just keep in mind the number of letters in the word of the crop type. The largest will have the highest premium rate.
Horticulture(12 letters) -5%
Kharif(6 letters) -2%
Rabi(4 letters) -1.5%
Note: The premiums are subject to change in future so the method stands true till then.
