@bhuvanamalar1015412 oh yea this motivation is a new category of bs.. like they have seen it all. others are just biding their time. 


Yes,that's a big scam,a whole breed of motivational speakers have emerged,especially in upsc field and I get irritated when I hear these talks of hardwork,not giving up until u reach ur destiny,making it big in life,ur life is completely in ur hands,u could do anything u want etc lol.a brother of mine gets motivated to get into gym everytime he sees a new movie with fit actors ,want to make it big in life everytime he watches a youtube video.he forgets it later though.

I have marked it B, but hve taken it wrong. It’s most probably A.

@srivalliguru940 I was about to mark B. But then I found that sovereign is absent, so marked A. B looked comprehensive except for the word sovereignty. Rest depends on what UPSC decides.

Guys, asking out of anxiety. Till now I had no doubt about copper smelting being D. But few people are doubting it. What does the majority in our group think ? 

carbon monoxide is used in as reactant hence  it doesn't release in lethal quantities hence d is incorrect this is what majority of coaching say but I'm not sure i also marked D :(

Carbon monoxide is lethal even in small quanties.i don't know exactly but there have been accidents involving co in smelting .I left the qstn though .I feel they did it to break guess work where extreme word is wrong.

@srivalliguru940 1. Gopalaswamy committee question
2. Mitochondria (I have marked B)- I thought after fertilization it is not possible 
3. EPF question (I have taken the first statement that all are entitled to be incorrect)

Yeah epf is surely right. See Hindi translation. They said “ hakhdar “. Which is wrong. So it’s 2&3.

@srivalliguru940 Yes, that's why I thought. And the floor of 20 employees was also revolving in my mind. But Mrunal sir gave it all correct, so again doubts have crept in.

@bhuvanamalar1015412 motivation is good where your results are proportional to hardwork. so you know you work hard and see results. like in mains. motivation is not good for prelims where someone works hard for 5 days and clears it other works hard for 5 years and fails to clear it. its that luck based.

supreme court recently said all casual workers are entitled to epf, are u doing some appeasement or something,?

@srivalliguru940 And yes, one more question. How can I forget- the pressure cooker one!

Yeah every institute is looking at that article which shows that they are eligible. They are not able to discriminate between eligibility and entitlement. And yeah 20 workers or more is also important here.
