They added the word artificial for a reason i think.... else synthetic would suffice.

What is the technique of culturing the virus?

The answer is :cell culture

Now, what is cell culture..it is propagation of cell infected with pathogen be it virus , bacteria or fungi in laboratory. Now, the cell culture may be done purely using natural medium or artificial medium.

@Negan Just my two cents

There are two kinds of difficult papers. Consider a simple example of National parks, which almost every serious candidate can memorize. Last, year, you had to also know that Godavari passes through Papikonda instead of Cauvery. Just knowing that it lies in Andhra Pradesh is not enough. This is an illustration of standard syllabi made conceptually difficult. A diligent candidate may be able to work it our based on basic understanding of geographical distribution of National Parks.


Then there is the difficulty level of which organism is "filter based feeder", or which one rolls up for protection etc.
If you know, you know types. This is absurd level of difficulty.


JEE is the first type. Everyone knows all the trigonometric formulas, par bhaisahab ek one line question rula sakta hai if you are unable to recognize which formula to use. Instead, imagine they start giving analytic continuation in JEE, no one is scoring that.


Last year, I cleared forest pre. This year, marks in 80s. numerous examples like me are floating around this blog. 4 or 5 people may be a small sample size, but it's the sample size of people who not only cleared pre but aced it.


The shock factor in last years paper started to wear off after 10 minutes or so once you got in the rhythm, because 80 odd questions were doable, and right up the traditional prelims syllabus alley. This year, the every time I turned the page, I was shocked. After 10 minutes, I was almost excited for the next set of questions on the new page to find out what new shocking thing I am going to discover.

So much relatable mate.

Im stuck with the same score, cleared forest pre last year.

@MikeWozniak I think I failed to explain my point.

Consider Counter  Strike, dust 2. If there is a bomb on bombsite B, I have checked that A is clear, 2 terrorists remain, and I am alone. Experience says that you don't run like a headless chicken from the CT spawn, flash the site from the window, smoke the door, and then guess where to enter from. An educated guess, has a better probability of working, Extrapolated to 40 questions you get 25 right more often than not. Great ratio.


Then comes along a genius who prays and sprays on a pool day map. probability of you winning against him, absolutely 50-50.


Guesses did not work here not because the method is wrong, simply because the setting is absurd. Pool day is not a map you will find a pro playing for a million dollars.
