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!

This isn’t a previous year question.But what should be the answer to this question?
Which of the following correctly defines Fiscal Deficit?
(a)Excess of total expenditure over revenue receipts and non-debt creating capital receipts
(b)Borrowings from RBI, abroad as well as net borrowing at home
(c)Excess of government’s total expenditure over total receipts
(d)Both (a) and (b)
in my opinion, the answer should be (a). But the answer key says (d).
@upsc2020 can you please explain this? Why Adi Granth Sahib is not correct? Ans to 156 should it not be 1,2,3?
All three are correct.
Verses ascribed to Kabir have been compiled in three distinct but overlapping traditions. The Kabir Bijak is preserved by the Kabirpanth (the path or sect of Kabir) in Varanasi and elsewhere in Uttar Pradesh; the Kabir Granthavali is associated with the Dadupanth in Rajasthan, and many of his compositions are found in the Adi Granth Sahib.
