Who decides the disqualification of panchayat member?
The general practice is that SEC decides such a case.
However, this is in no way an absolute standard. Different states have different panchayat acts, the procedure may be different in some states. It is upto the state legislatures to legislate on matters related to Panchayats + disqualification of Panchayat member doesn't fall under the compulsory provisions mandated for panchayats under 73rd CAA.
Such questions won't/CANNOT be asked in the exam as there is no standard procedure.
the power to include exclude from central sc/st list lies with president or parliament? i guess parliament, however vision says prez...pls clarify
First list was notified by the president.
Subsequent inclusion/exclusion by an act of parliament
Other points :
In case a list is sent by a state, it must be approved by NCSC/NCST

The Neolithic people were the first producer as agriculture was invented but they were certainly not the first animal keeper. The Mesolithic people were first to start the domestication of the animal. (Hence Statement 1 is disputable)
Neolithic people were acquainted with the potter's wheel. In fact, it is widely acknowledged now that the potter's the wheel was invented in 5000 BC. The surplus production gave rise to the need of pottery for storage. (Hence Statement 2 is incorrect)
Mehargarh (of 7000 BC) was the earliest Neolithic site in India. Hence Neolithic age in India was late as compared to the Neolithic age of other parts of the world which started to appear around 12000 BC onwards. (Hence Statement 3 is incorrect)
Ultimately the most appropriate answer here is a) i.e. 1 only.
