Answer for Definition of State is B because the option A defines Sovereign State and not only "state". A state can be sovereign or non sovereign. For copper smelters it must be D, because workers are exposed to lethal doze of CO sometimes and statement says "may release", for mosses and lichens, it is both mosses and lichens because mosses can grow on bare rocks you can check on internet. Other questions too differe among answer keys but I am not sure of answers. Further, for pressure cooker too D seems correct.
@AureliusM No, even we can take example of Catalonia, these are states but not sovereign states
@Aurang_mirasudar The article you posted itself writes "Stove" in homes, and it is option 3 and hence only choice is 12345....
@SnowLeopard Wikipedia says state may or may not be soverign, the conditions you are giving is for "sovereign State".
@leftfaithinmyself Many are scoring over 100 , and even over 130, 140, but only in insights comment section ..
With regard to Indian constitution comparison to British, most coaching keys giving A, while Toppers key and many others like Varun Jain (PSIR) optional giving A, and second option is definitely wrong, SC doenst constitute constitution bench for constitutionality of every act, kindly someone throw a light. It must be A
@kartikeybhatt171778 most coaching keys giving C
@babu_bisleri UPSc will finally decide , they have written constitution bench, and many others giving A, and in many cases SC used non constitutional benches to invalidate a law on grounds of non constitutionality, anyways let it be..
@Aurang_mirasudar in dono ko combine karke 1,2,3 ho jata he hehehe
@babu_bisleri Bhai kyu itna defensive ho rahe ho, mujhe wese bhi nind ati he acchi, mene kab forcefully kaha A he, I said ki let the UPSC decide, mujhe pata he article 145(3) me kya likha he, I too read laxmikant, itna kyu paste kar diye idhar , bhut se keys A bhi de rahe he, to ambiguous to he hi, ab aapko C maan ke nind a rhi he to aap C maanlo
