For the China irrigation question; almost all the coachings have referred Ashok Gulati's article but what is the original source of that data. Any inputs ?


Edit - Found a link : http://english.scio.gov.cn/m/pressroom/2022-11/08/content_78508226.htm

It says 50% irrigated land for China. Govt link. Should the answer be A then?

According to this article (Vision IAS also cites this), data from both accelerometer and gyroscope is required to detect if the acceleration is meant for tilting (and therefore changing orientation). Therefore, accelerometer does play a role.

@Immortalknight Answer should be A in this case. I hope UPSC doesn't use that Ashok Gulati article to frame the answers, but can't be sure about that.

@Srinjay China's FYP has target of 74% irrigated area by 2030. Base must be higher to put such ambitious target. I will file representation for A as answer

For the Gandak question;

The source cited says Gandak. Burhi Gandak just flows close to the lake. https://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/kanwar-lake-birds-paradise-lost-44693

The source says " Kanwar jheel, as it is locally called, is located 22 km north-west of Begusarai town. It is a residual oxbow lake, formed due to meandering of Gandak river, a tributary of Ganga, in the geological past. "

Vision says " Kanwar jheel, as it is locally called, is located 22 km north-west of Begusarai town. It is a residual oxbow lake, formed due to meandering of Burhi Gandak river, a tributary of Ganga, in the geological past. "

@Srinjay In geological Past burhi gandak used to be gandak. Just like 200 years ago Teesta merged in Ganga but now it merges in Brahmaputra. Bihar government website also mentions Gandak forming kanwar lake.
