UPSC Previous Year Questions: CSP 2021

One cannot place less emphasis on the fact as to how important it is to solve questions asked by UPSC Previously. In fact, UPSC tends to repeat from its own stock, verbatim. 

This thread, shall be solely dedicated for posting questions asked in CSP & CAPF.

I shall be posting questions here on a daily basis. Urge you all to answer these in all seriousness. Shoot doubts if you have any, wrt solving any question. 

Remember the idea is to solve them, again. Reading questions and solutions is NOT sufficient. 

Cheers!

Yes they too. But that doesn't match any option here. Phangwpui Peak of Mizoram is known as Blue Mountain.

85. If the earth's direction of rotation is reversed, what would be the IST when it is noon at the International Date Line?

A. 06.30 hrs


B. 05.30 hrs


C. 18.30 hrs


D. 17.30 hrs

India is located to the West of IDL, considering the direction of rotation of earth . So, the time at IDL (eastern side) will be ahead of India. India is located +5:30 to prime meridian time, and IDL (east) is exactly +12:00 hrs ahead of prime meridian time.

By subtracting (12-5.30), we know that Indian time is behind IDL at around 6:30 AM.

Now, even if the direction of earth’s rotation were to change, the difference would remain the same (6:30 hrs), but now India would move ahead in time of IDL (as Sun will apparently move from West to East). So, the time at India when it is noon at IDL would be evening 18:30 hrs.
