[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.


@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

@Rambo93 Get the f***k out of this game. Sirf 10 saal me sirf 10000 hazar log hi clear karte hai. It is less than people giving mains in a single year. So get the f***k out of this game. I am already facing this

Answer is 0.25 foot.

Wo jo 1foot Nikala h usse 3.25 waale rod me 3 baar me  3 feet tak naap sakte h. Remaining .25 would be the smallest bit.

6th standard ka HCF ka sawaal h. 

Samajh me aaye to theek .

Aur argument mat karna.

Its actually HCF ... you hell right. I just made it quick in exam... so .. didnt bothered. 

Already got lot of maths done when i reached at this question ... so just got  dizzy doing. 

HCF .. indeed.

@Tajwhite You seem to be in a Safe Zone.. Don't worry. But to satisfy your self more take the following steps.
1. Calculate Quant marks separately, there won't be any changes.
2. Calculate RC marks from 3/4 answer keys and leave don't add any marks if it is wrong in any of the keys. Then find out your total. Though this is not a scientific method, at least your Mark will NOT go below this. There is every chance of a increase only.

A lot of you have been messaging me in inbox. 
Except monsoon dam and renewable subsidy (Second part) (2 questions) ..i am sure of RC answers

monsoon can be C or D.
renewable subsidy second part can be A or D

because author hasnt given verbatim sentences rather modified the ‘high risk’ and ‘storage capacity statement’ .... same in ‘ inefficient subsidies’

so cnt say surely

rest 23 questions are fine

all the best

and stop going endlessly via keys
especially shankar keys.has loads of mistake

Hope all clear through. Best wishes.

@Aalsibalak i am sorry to say that u calculated wrong, you can afford max 15 wrong not 16 ... If 16 wrong out of 48 then your score would be 65.92... You can share your doubtful questions and answers... Mostly people here have found the best correct options. Best of luck bro
