Can someone please explain?

Answer is C.


Statement 1 is wrong because oceanic crust is continuously formed due to process of subduction and seafloor spreading. Which is why they are younger than continental crust 

Yeah,Thankyou @upsc2020 . I was confused because ncert says oceanic crusts are younger than the continental crusts. And 3rd statement says formation of oceanic crust precedes continental crust. So I felt both were contradictory.

It is really get to see your enthusiastically answer the questions, sire!

When I was selected for a certain govt job, long back, I quickly checked who the appointing authority was. It was the Central Govt. The appointment letter was signed by Additional or Under Secy Rural Development. 

What does this mean?

This means that anytime the Central Govt wanted , they could remove me with just a letter signed by the Secy, Rural Development. 

When you are appointed to the All India Services, the appointment is by the President, who , is also the authority who can remove such officials. 

This means that if the govt quickly wants to remove someone, they have send the letter to President. While the President is bound to follow the advice, note that President may apply his mind to such recommendations. Or even sit on it for a long time ( The pocket of Indian President , as you may have read is deeper than the American President ). So it is not easy for central govts to remove someone appointed by the President. If for some reason that President is not happy, he may require additional information from the Govt.

So this makes a lot of difference.

Also, with respect to submission of reports, if a Constitutional Body is there, then it is most likely to submit its report to the President than the Govt. That additional layer of having the President takes away a lot of whims and facies of the govt in effect.

Please also note that when governments are in absolute majority, neither the President not the Supreme Courts are able to withstand executive pressure. 

Sir does that mean security of appointment in the ascending order would be (in case of central govt appointments): central govt

Also sir, governor is appointed by President, but his removal depends on whims of the President (cabinet)? How does that mean that appointment by President guarantees more security then?

AIS Appointment by Prez + Art 312 = Best protection for Civil Servants in India


Governor is not a civil servant under Art 312 protection, hence can't be compared. Though ideally it should not be the case !

IMO if Sarkaria commission's recomm regarding Governor is implemented then many of the current issues could be resolved, but catch is no one willing to share power only it's usurpation

Yupp. But problem is Who will bell the cat ? Jese state govt Police reforms nahi chahti vese hi Center governor related reforms nhi chahti.. irrespective of party.. it's basic political cost benefits analysis

True that! Theory or practice ka gap h ye basically.
