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!

Statement 1 is absolutely wrong as there is no presence of ozone in the Ionosphere, (UPSC gave this statement just to confuse us.)
while Radio waves have high wavelength but the official key of UPSC gave D as correct (PYQ 2011, Q-27 Set A)


sorry I meant B. Thanks for the key :)

Hey
Can you all please tell me the test series you are solving for pre this year?

I thought of doing vision but the questions seem redundant, considering last year's prelims paper.
Soo any suggestions?

@HaryanaDue to the ability of ionized atmospheric gases to refract high frequency (HF, or shortwave)radiowaves, theionospherecan reflectradiowaves directed into the sky back toward the Earth.

Can someone please explain 2nd statement properly?

The question is about relation between ionosphere and radio waves (not radio waves alone).
Due to the ability of ionized atmospheric gases to refract high frequency (HF, or shortwave)radiowaves, theionospherecan reflectradiowaves directed into the sky back toward the Earth.

@PursuitofHappyness because trade in goods and services come under current account. And capital account convertibility means conversion of  local financial assets(rupee) to foreign financial assets

@PursuitofHappyness Is it that from that PYQ book by him? It does have many wrong answers. 
I think answer should be B. And I checked at another place, it says B.

@Joeyisthebest that's trade, it doesn't affect the capital account.

@Bepop Looked up more and found this: 

Current account convertibility refers to the freedom to convert your rupees into other internationally accepted currencies and vice versa without any restrictions whenever you make payments.

Similarly, capital account convertibility means the freedom to conduct investment transactions without any constraints. Typically, it would mean no restrictions on the amount of rupees you can convert into foreign currency to enable you, an Indian resident, to acquire any foreign asset. Similarly, there should be no restraints on your NRI cousin bringing in any amount of dollars or dirhams to acquire an asset in India.
