Upsc didn't want you to know that fact. Just wanted you to check upon statement 2 of that question

@Purplesunbird I didnt even know that....never read in so much detail if green gram is more than 50% or not. And most coachings while giving answer keys confused between "green gram" (which is moong bean) having only 10% of production, with "gram" which is chickpea with 50% production. So I would say even knowing this much is too much depth, isnt it??

@Purplesunbird Lol...here's why. Reverse logic se chana shouldn't be 50% of pulse production. But it does. So thats why..

Hi, would be great if someone could confirm this? 

Private agencies can't use Adhaar authentication services, if that's correct. I somehow recall reading otherwise in a more recent test but not able to trace back.
