Factoids for Prelims 2021
Hi,
Ranyo Ashoka, Himalayan nettle, Denisovan - Who would have thought of such random questions?
Creating this thread with the sole purpose of sharing facts that can be relevant for Prelims. While there is always this thought, that there is no end to learning and mugging up facts, but if we observe closely - the options are not very close and elimination is easy. By pooling our resources here, if we give it one reading also, the probability of retaining it on the D day and eliminating options increases exponentially.
I request the aspirants to actively contribute here and let's hope that we strike gold on 31st ;).
Conquer,@sstarrr answer is in same order. Riyadh seems to be more northern than other two if one looks map but it's not.Order from N to S Manama, Doha, Dubai, Riyadh
Oh! But I solved one test series as well - there it was abu dhabi and riyadh - made a guess on similar lines. If we don't trust maps then who do we trust then? It clearly shows dubai to be the southern most.
jassikamboj16303,@sstarrr Abu Dhabi wasn't there in this question.Well, what we see in maps are 2D in rectangular format but duninya to gol hai.That's one of that sometimes few cities seems to be more northern than other but if we a latitude then we would get the answer.Example: Agra and Darjiling share almost same latitude but it seems Darjiling is more northern than agra.
I will also leave itna close wala question.
Anti defection law related rules:
1. Presiding Officer (PO) empowered to make rules.
2. Must place those rules before House for 30 days-House can approve, modify, disprove them.
3. PO has no suo moto power to take up cases-must act only if he receives complaint by a member.
4. PO may refer the matter to Committee of Privileges for inquiry.
Reason-these days they are asking rules and committees which werent asked earlier.
