One urgent doubt regarding form filling. I have just successfully completed it, with UPSC sending an acknowledgement sms. But in the part of uploading photos and signature, I notice no option of "Do you want to fill application form again? ". I recall last year I had filled it as yes.... in case of mistake. Did I just miss it ? Do I need to fill again? Anyone, kindly clarify.

Yes they do but if we absolutely have to choose 1 then amount of percolation seems most appropriate. Higher rainfall doesn’t necessarily mean high ground water recharge. It would be dependent on other factors as well like soil type etc. But if percolation of water is higher then it definitely means more groundwater recharge. Just my thought process don’t know the answer.

No 1,

I actually don't know the answer. The site where I got it from (examrobot) said relief of the area, but I thought it would be the amount of rainfall since the water table depth and all gets affected by the amount of precipitation.

If we were to choose one, it should be D.
