Friends, can someone help in deciphering Volume2of Economic Survey. I mean I know that one is not required to read the whole 320 pages. But nevertheless, the kind of questions which are appearing in prelims do suggest that it cannot be left untouched as well. Attaching Screenshot of the content page. 
GreenArrow,1. Focus on trends and boxes. Do not read it line by line.
2. Try to read a chapter a day. One should not try to finish the entire ES in one go.
3. Vol 2 is more Mains centric - esp from chapters starting with Agriculture. Read so that you can inculcate points in answers. Multiple readings help here.

Is salinity a condition required for formation of coral reefs?
Also, isn't 27-33% salinity just excessive!?
Salinity is an important condition for growth of coral reefs, because it helps in calcification and forming the calcium and carbonate shells.
It isn't excessive; had that been the case we would have had corals near fresh water areas also.

Thanks for the explanation! :)
The reason I had eliminated that option is because normal salinity is approx. 35 parts per thousand (i.e. 3.5%) and hence 27-33% salinity felt extreme
upsc2020,

How to use ncerts to its maximum for UPSC cse i.e. how to do R&D of NCERTs
And how to prepare ancient and mediaeval history effectively.
Old and New NCERTS are sufficient for ancient and medieval history.
How to read: it varies from subject to subject. For history, re- reading the chapter and marking out important facts should be the strategy.
You could make short notes / summary of the facts for revision so that you do not have to read the entire book before exam.
