Muhammadan educational conference was established by Sir Syed Ahmed as a precursor of Muhammadan Anglo - Oriental College
This statement is wrong , what is the correct answer ?
Muhammadan anglo-oriental college was established in 1875 whereas, Muhammadan educational conference was started in 1886. So it couldn't have acted as a precursor.

Statement 1 is wrong because oceanic crust is continuously formed due to process of subduction and seafloor spreading. Which is why they are younger than continental crust
Yeah,Thankyou @upsc2020 . I was confused because ncert says oceanic crusts are younger than the continental crusts. And 3rd statement says formation of oceanic crust precedes continental crust. So I felt both were contradictory.
upsc2020,With reference to the position of Leader of Opposition in the Indian Parliamentary system, consider the following statements.
1. The leader of the largest opposition party having not less than one-tenth seats of the total strength of the House is recognised as the Leader of the Opposition in that House.
2. The position was recognised in Parliament for the first time in 1977.
3. The Leader of Opposition holds status equivalent to that of a Cabinet Minister.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation
Exp) Statement 1 is correct. The Salary and Allowances of Leaders of Opposition in Parliament Act, 1977 defines LoP as the leader of the largest opposition party having not less than one-tenth seats of the total the strength of the House
Statement 2 is incorrect. The leader of Opposition was first recognised in 1969 and in 1977 the position got statutory status via Salary and Allowances of Leaders of Opposition in Parliament Act.
Statement 3 is correct. The Salary and Allowances of Leaders of Opposition in Parliament Act, 1977 extends to Leaders of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha the same official status, allowances and perks that are admissible to Cabinet Ministers.
Doubt: I think Salary and Allowances of Leaders of Opposition in Parliament Act, 1977 is silent about the one-tenth criteria and this criteria was rather given by the speaker of Lok sabha (Referring to statement 1)
What is the difference between Waman Rao case and I.R.Coelho case?
Waman rao case was the case like when Modi ji was declared as People's Love in 2014. I R Coelho was the case like when Modi ji was re-confirmed VERY CLEARLY, OBJECTIVELY AND MORE LOUDLY as People's Love in 2019 !
Simply speaking - Both examined the Ninth Schedule validity post Keshwanand bharti BUT IRC case was more clear,more wide (like enabled RIGHTS TEST in examining 9th schedule laws etc) and more objective assertion by the hon'ble SC about Ninth Schedule and Basic structure doctrine relationship. :)
Isse jyada mat padna, upsc mein koi kaam nahi aayega. Just remember both dealt with ninth schedule validity issue post Keshavananda !!
