Do farmers sell their produce to FCI or to APMC mandis?

It's confusing because in some source it's written that farmers sell their produce to FCI at MSP and in other sources, it's written that farmers sell to APMC mandis.

both

fci procures at msp but there is no guarantee that it will from all farmers

farmers can also sell to apmc mandis but if the buying cost at apmc mandis is less than msp,then fci has to procure from farmers(though practically it doesnt happen)

Thanks.

And after purchasing goods from farmers, do APMCs sell them to FCI ?

Procurement by FCI is done only from farmers not from market.

Benchmark-based prime lending rates (BPLR) were done away with because banks used to lend below the BPLR anyway. 

How did banks manage to do this ? I mean, was it well-known to RBI or did banks manage to manipulate the BPLR?

This question is from a Vision Test. Answer given was 'D'. 

Shouldn.t it be 'B' as Option 2 should be correct ?

Yes it should be B, unless the trigger for the Question by vision was the government’s recent order of setting up a Delimitation Commission for Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Assam and Nagaland. Vision is notorious for having such silly traps.

In all likelihood, should be B.

I just skimmed the act. It says 1971 census only. But the number of seats reserved for SCs &STs will be revised on the basis of 1991 census.

Yeah so eventually it should be 2001 census only na, based on 87th CAA. And as that.s the last amendment it should be 2001 census only for territorial constituencies.

Hence, statement 2 should be correct only. Right ?

Yeah, in your earlier msg you didn.t mention which Act so got confused. :P 

There can.t be a more reliable source that checking the original copy of an Act. :)

1. According to IMD,

Heat wave is considered if maximum temperature of a station reaches at least 40'C or more for Plains and at least 30'C or more for Hilly regions.

For Coastal Regions: When maximum temperature departure is 4.5'C or more from normal, Heat Wave may be described provided actual maximum temperature is 37'C or more.
