The New Urban Agenda talks about issues ofinformal settlementsand their human rights. It nowhere discussesunauthorized settlements. There is adifferencebetweeninformal settlements and unauthorized settlements. Broadly, it mentions that Informal settlements have human rights and the state must provide them with public service.

Both options A and B have verbatim lifted from political theorists. 

But A is complete statement minus the part ‘states don’t necessarily need to be independent it can also be‘ nearly independent’ + It has omitted  the part that ‘Inhabitants render habitual obedience’


B has the portion ‘natural rights and means of sustenance’added on its own it has nowhere been mentioned by Bluntschli. Though he writes that state has to maintain law and order..


ab batao answer kya hoga…

Seems statement 3 is correct after reading the above article. But what makes statement 1 wrong?

New Urban Agenda mentions that UN-Habitat does monitor and it is a human right too.

in light of recent spate of attacks on civilians , has the spillover of afghanistan already started showing effects. Will 20s be more tumultuous than 90s for kashmir. Give your views.

Since we have found the answers of almost all the questions, only two remain debatable, the EPFO (most probably 2 and 3) and the Cooker one (most probably 1 and 3). 

The answers to other 'disputable' questions are Sutlej ( from Khullar), Right To City ( 2 and 3 from IE article), Mitochondria (Both 1 and 2, from several books), virus can't be cultured ( previous year q), State (Option A), Magnetite (all option right), Smelter (all options right).


All questions were right and nothing will be dropped.Last year 1-2 question/s were dropped due to translation issues. It wont be the case this time. Also seats are less this time. You can now peacefully exact your marks.

@AdmgenalanezhEPFO (most probably 2 and 3) and the Cooker one (most probably 1 and 3) -- can be considered right

bro, can we consider 1and3 for pressure cooker ? Weight of the lid vs on the lid changes the entire meaning. Because the question isn’t general and is based on a scientific concept, I guess 1 only should be correct which isn’t given.
