How to handle questions like this one here? 
Is it mentioned anywhere or should I just ignore it as a bouncer question thrown by UPSC?

c?

For 1- charaka and sushruta were alive before. They were surgeons. So there must be specialised instruments.

For 2- Internal organ transplant today is very tricky, imagine that time. Not probabale.

3- I think I read somewhere aryabhatta did.

4- I think bhaskaracharya did.

Plus, if you eliminate 2 and know 1 is correct, no need to know 3 and 4.

What's the consensus on the effects of the Green Revolution on the disparity b/w small and large farmers? 11th NCERT initially says that it did not exacerbate the disparity due to the role of the state (subsidies for HYV seeds and pesticides), while later in the Poverty chapter they state that itdid make the inequality worse.

For space, I feel UPSC is not focusing on 'smaller' missions like going to Mars and Moon. It's going for more 'exotic' missions like e-LISA which is a Gravitational wave observatory just like LIGO which was asked couple of years ago. So, that maybe narrows down a little bit.

Guys, what is the optimum number of CSAT questions to be attempted? 

Is 45-50 good or low? (considering I will attempt all the passages)

2.8k views
@SergioRamos attempt atleast 55, if you want to stay in the race. Speaking from previous experiences, i am from non science background, but lot of questions seems difficult prima facie only, give them a good read and you can easily do 55+ in csat.
