Doubt Clearance Thread: UPSC 2021

People got marks out of 196 and later its scaled to 200.
2 Questions r dropped.
For instance if 90.66 out of 196 was converted into 200,it would come out as 92.51
90.66*200/196 =92.51

@Rambo93 Maths is saying that. 

See we get marks like 100,100.66 or 101.33 or 102.
Its always a multiple of 0.33 or to be exact, a multiple of 0.66

Select cutoff for any category and multiply it with 196/200
The resultant will always be a multiple of 0.33 just like our normal marks.

If 3 Q were cut,u will have to multiply it with 194/200 which doesnt give a multiple of 0.33

U can try for other numbers as well.

So maths says 2 Qs r cut.

My guess-Gandhi Irwin pact and Current account deficit Question.
