@Neyawn Sorry Sir , I didn't raise my question in a meaningful way. Kindly let me know , will the attempt be counted by UPSC if a candidate appear in none of the papers(GS + CSAT) (absent for both sittings )??


No.

Understand it this way.

The counting of attempt has got to do with the signing of attendance sheet/s.

If attendance sheet is  signed in both the papers, attempt will be counted.

If attendance sheet is signed in any of the two papers, attempt will be counted.

If attendance sheet is signed in none of the two papers (the case that you are talking about), attempt will not be counted.

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 :)

The reason is upwelling caused by prevailing Thermohaline Circulation. Though the trend of increase of salinity with increasing depths is not uniform and is confined to 200 fathoms (365 meters) from the surface in middle latitudes and beyond which it starts decresing with depth.

4 in hundredth place has ->9*9=81 numbers

3 in hundredth place, 4 in tens place->9 numbers

3 in hundredth place, 4 in ones place->9 numbers

Total numbers->81+9+9= 99

@Steph_Curry Is this the answer?

3 in hundredth place, 4 in tens place->9 numbers

3 in hundredth place, 4 in ones place->9 numbers

@Steph_Curry Is this the answer?

The number of times 4 appear in one place(except 344 where 2 4s are there) between 300-399, the same number of them won't be counted between 400-499 as we will always have at least one 4. 

So these both being complementary to each other, number would be same as count from 400-499 except removing 1 as we didn't account 344 earlier.

It means if a case has been decided in any of these 3 HCs by a single judge bench the litigant can appeal in the same HC to a division bench ( I think it is a 3 judge bench) of the same HC. In any other HC apart from the above 3 appeal lies with the SC.

Because those jurisdictions aren't mutually exclusive. Original jurisdiction just means that you can directly file a petition in the high courts

You are confusing original and exclusive jurisdiction both are different concepts. Writ jurisdiction is original but not an exclusive jurisdiction for SC or HC as both have powers for issuing writs.
