Q.22 test 19 3rd statement #rashtrakuta dynasty - kailashnath temple 

While there is another famous kailashnath temple in kanchipuram, tamil nadu built by rajasimha( pallavas) so pliz be specific while giving statements or else both option a(1 and 2) and option d(1,2 and3) seems correct.

Q 42. Pliz have a look.... I find Duars formation is common in foothills of both sikkim,darjeeling himalayas and of arunachal himalayas..... Correct me if m wrong... How preference is given to sikkim darjeeling himalayas?

The NCERT mentions about arunachal himalayas due to roughed topography the inter-valley transportation linkages are notional so, most interactions are through duar region along arunachal assam border. Pg no 14

Q. 32 kali river 

 I m not contradicting it as such but still try to avoid these.... 

NCERT specifically mentions kali river as a tributary of ghaghara which is a east flowing river Pg no. 12 (even in news recently)

whereas the west-flowing  river in karnataka has been mentioned in NCERT as kalinadi Pg no. 28 (better to frame it as which of these rivers are west flowing peninsular rivers)

Other than historical questions all other questions were very good today including the analytical ones..... But why use abbreviations??...it may be a standard abbreviation yet it would be better to provide both and abbreviations within bracket. For example cpi-c it seems like cpi core.... Standard abbreviation may be cpi combine...  Cpi al etc.

#personal opinion

Yes initially core iip is released by commerce ministry sooner than the total iip index using the inputs from core industries so that the data can be used by govt as soon as possible.... Later on mospi compile the total iip of all industries which come out much later.... Core iip and iip are reported monthly by PIB pliz see anyone of the monthly report......

Q.28 Many sources are saying icsid as a part of world bank... Pliz clarify...  Even dere official sites

Pliz consider... Q9 reports of fifteenth finance commission

No doubts about that the states share is decreased from 42% to 41% reasoning being given as for the creation of 2 new ut out of former j&k state. 

Funds for the new ut will be paid from centres share okk... But as such a special provision or union territory specific allocation of 1% was not there... Moreover centre in such situation can spend more or less of 1% of the divisible pool for the new ut j&k and ladakh... No boundations no formalities... It was just a reasoning for the decrease... 

Science test Q no. 24 explaination and answer key doesn't match.... Q.15 printing mistake.. Have a look
