One more example of where "logics" Failed me was a question on "dwarasamudra" Probably in case 2020 or 2019.. 

I was like dwarasamudra sounds like gateway of India, so must be in maharasthra... 

And boy,, I was soo wrong.. 

Not to say that logics don't help, but we can not rely on them 100%.. 

Kya pata meri hi kismat khraab hai, mere logics hi illogical hote hain shayd 🥵

Mistake in these is acceptable. But How to guess these qns if you don't know all provisions of scheme. 

Which of the following are the objectives of 'National Nutrition Mission'?


1. To create awareness relating to malnutrition among pregnant women and lactating mothers.


2. To reduce the incidence of anaemia among young children, adolescent girls, and women.


3. To promote the consumption of millets, coarse cereals, and unpolished rice.


4. To promote the consumption of poultry eggs.


Select the correct answer using the code given below:

  1. 1 and 2 only
  2. 1, 2 and 3 only
  3. 1, 2 and 4 only
  4. 3 and 4 only

My confusion wud be b/w A and C

I have a very lame logic but how can Modiji promote consuming eggs :p

I havnt cross checked the official key. But at most places it is C. Counterintuitive.

Nice!

I associated Paik with Paika rebellion. Paikas were foot soldiers. Hence answer probably was either option A or D. Now in option D, C-5 is given which is absurd considering that hawaldars cant be head of 2-3 hawaldars. Hence, A

‘A’ can be the answer because

- head of military needs to be given some big honourable name

- Paik - should be foot soldiers because we have read Paika rebellion as 1st war of India’s Independence (contested), none other options suits Paik as much as foot soldiers 


just guessing, not sure ✌️
