[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

My logic was that the author Sakharam Deuskar a Bengali born Maharashtrian who had promoted Sivaji Maharaj in Bengali , how can he restrict the word "Desha" to Bengal. When he has never forgotten his roots. Based on it i had stuck the statement 3 as wrong n arrived at the option.

Regarding Asset Allocation question, the most appropriate answer should be A.

It was taken from this article and focus is clearly on diversification to minimize risks

@Aurang_mirasudar bhai if ur answers are going to be right, in that case i would be in, n  wud be really  thankful to u . My reasoning was centred around the same logic wch u had provided. Thanx fr the efforts though.lets wait for the results. If am going  in then its fr sure that the research wch u had done was in sync with upsc's paper setter. Else destiny had somethin else in mind.

@Aurang_mirasudar  bro someone has directly contacted the author of Assets comprehension on twitter . And he says A should be the option. Hopefully we are on the right path and some one at upsc might be  agreeing with the author.

@amar1902 see i think u dont have to be so rigid. Lot many seriuos candidates like serving bureaucrats , doctors, medics, last attemptees worrying about uncertainity bleak future and ambiguous supreme court judgement certainly affects them. Evem csat paper was a killer this year. When no one knows the complete picture, one should about being a judge .

@Daarubaaj sahi baat hai sab yaha apna ullu seedha karne me jude huye hai. Jisko nikalna hai woh laga hua padhai ke morche pe naaki dusron ko gyan dene me. Sab apne aap senior apsirant, bahut bada top samajne lage huye hai. Jitna maata pitna hai peetlo jo hoga wahi hoga naaki ek dusre se ladai karne me. Agar kisi ko lag raha hai uska sahi hai to jaake mains ke liye ragdo naaki baith kar yaha auron ko confuse karo .

@walterwhit3 u have presented cogent arguments.
And u have emphasised on the fact that upsc is the final authority, even though you have given certain facts.
That should be be the ideal attitude of people on this platform- meant for civil services aspirants, unlike others who behave so rigidly and are here mostly to prove their answers as the absolute truth. If they are so confident then they should be hitting hard at mains preparation.Seriously I dont know why people are wasting their time and energy in proving others wrong instead of slogging to ensure their interview call at the Dholpur house.

@JSK28 i dunno someone has asked the same question on twitter to the original author of the passage and he says A should be right and he is the author-one who has actually written the article on times of india -and if he says A i think he should be right nor anyone else. He is an expert and upsc is using relying on his article , so there should something in what author says n i would only agree with what author says nor any one else. However it wud be unfortunate if upsc doesnt agree with A .

@Mahi  in my opinion no matter what anybody says one should always go by one's own logical reasoning. And inspite of the fact that I have marked a different option I would really hope that upsc should give answer only based on logical reasoning and just- answer to the question asked and not based on any other factors.Only then it can uphold objectivity. And to justify ur reasoning based on logic and objectivity u have gone to the extent of representing ur viewpoint , I truly admire and support such persons. Way to go ! May only objectivity prevail.

I kept option B .I asked them to rely on standalone passage rather than source of question which was the trend.But we get to see key only after a year.No one really cares our opinions.U know!

Yes! That's the most saddest part. N they havent released the last year's marks yet!
