Seems true we are all reduced to the uncertainty and discretion of people sadly

@Aurang_mirasudar 2014 i guess, ditto repeat, virus is not in official answer key


It's 2013. There the option was "Viruses can be cultured inanysynthetic medium"

Here, it just asks if it can be cultured, which it can be. Viral cultures are available

Viral culture - Wikipedia

Leave it.p to the setter.,if i find source like those of other two  will post

Hey guys,

I was thinking maybe sometime we could do a forum people's zoom where we just hang out and chill for a while. I feel like the exam process feels very dehumanising and isolating, so it might do some good. Could make everyone feel a bit better to have a little bit of human connection and chitchat. I'm sure we can find a way to preserve anonymity :p

If anyone's interested we can take it up. Or if you think it's weird and creepy please ignore 😂

Plssss dooo.

1. Supreme court has included ONGC and LIC like orgs into definition of state. (If i am not wrong) Dominions of Brits (Aus etc) should not be called state if "sovereignty" was a criteria... (so why not option B?)

2. If weight of lid would not matter, higher the weight of lid: much more pressure would be needed to reach saturation temperature of cooking food (daal boils right?)... Every heat transfer process need temperature gradient (flame temperature lower than cooked food means flame would get cooked)... Pressure and temperature inside cooker are corelated inside cooker (PV=mRT) and smaller the area of hole in lid, higher the pressure inside stays built up and vice versa ... (so why not option D?)

3. When Sutlej and Chenab meets it is called PUNJNAD.... or any NCERT describes that when Sutlej - Chenab meets it is still called Chenab? (2 keys saying answer should be Sutlej and 4 keys calling Chenab)

4. ALLLLLLLL casual workers are entitled for EPFO coverge (regardless of income limit- and other 500 T&C)??

5. Magnetite being used in telephone lines such that if suspended it would cause me neurodegenerative problem?

I believe I can get some idea of above questions on this forum, regardless of what we have ticked in the OMR.. And definitely I no longer trust holy answer key of coaching institutes.

@jignesh Bro wrt State question. As per definition of State in Pol Science: A state must have 1. People, 2. Territory 3. Government 4. Sovereignty. Now see which of the option matches

@Aurang_mirasudar The article you posted itself writes "Stove" in homes, and it is option 3 and hence only choice is 12345....

@jignesh regarding pressure cooker i would say that cooking temp does not depend upon temp of flame....understand it like this.....water in an open container boils at 100 celsius at mean sea level how so ever hot the flame is....when inside cooker the same water will boil at more than 100 celsius due to pressure inside the cooker and not due to flame temp.....which will eventually cook the food....so it certainly cannot be temp of flame.....whereas weight of lid would contribute additional pressure apart from atmospheric pressure thus affecting the temp at which food is cooked.....my two cents
