Can we all guess the most probable areas that can be asked from various subjects in the prelims  - it will be very helpful@Steph_Curry @sjerngal @Upsc_2020 @HeNeArKr @sstarrr @Archand @calvinhobbes and all others

We try to draw parallels between static and current, but the hit ratio is hardly 5-10 PC. This strategy works better in mains. 

Current affairs questions can still be estimated

@Omen it will increase the demand for ruppee, not dollar. Since indians will borrow money in dollars and they'll convert it into ruppee for any functional use.
