"When in doubt, observe and ask questions. When certain, observe at length and ask many more questions."
Created this thread as a one stop solution for all members so that all the doubts wherein any conceptual clarification is required can be solved here.
Actually, ES has India at the 5th position but of late, India has climbed up to 4th. This has happened after the survey was released. You can refer to the July Vision CA, it was based on RBI data if I remember. However, I guess it is safe to go with 5th considering that it comes from Economic Survey.
Casablanca,
IN MID LATITUDES, SALINITY INCREASES UPTO 35 METRE DEPTH AND THEN DECREASES.
Is there any good soul who could care to explain this statement to me??
Thanks in advance :)
Mid latitudes as in Mediterranean? These regions are under influence of warm temperate climates characterised by dry summers and offshore winds. This may result in increased evaporation and consequently relatively higher salt levels in upper layer while salt levels at lower layers remains unaffected.
Taking a guess.

@Will_Hunting Can you please explain it?
Generally, devaluation is undertaken to promote exports. But it leads to inflation in the domestic economy so Devaluation is more effective when domestic prices remain constant.

Can NDRF/ SDRF be used for compensating farmers for crop losses?
I had read no but in Vision PT 365, i read that Ministry of Agriculture compensated farmers for losses due to locust attack.
Saying NO: http://www.arthapedia.in/index.php?title=National_Disaster_Response_Fund_(NDRF)
Saying YES: https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleseDetailm.aspx?PRID=1623587
Search for ‘compensation’ in the two articles.
What to do?

Try taking it this way-
1. If prices of domestic goods remain constant, devaluation of currency will be more beneficial.
We can do the same with the other options too and aptly derive a conclusion.
@ToyotaQualis answer from Official answer key is B

Yeah that seems to be the most appropriate explanation. I was not even able to make sense of the options!
