Anyone please tell me....in fig tree question of paper 2.....in the passage it's written, that fig trees are present in urban and agricultural landscapes where other large trees are absent. Why can't I say that fig trees grow where other large woody species are absent. 


Option -1,3 and4 is right only.....but statement 2 also has some weight yaar

@harilal From which key you are getting 104? If from Vision, Forum or Insights then you have some chance of clearing Ifos

#Rant

The more i keep think about what i could i have done differently in the prelims exam the more i feel that nothing much could have been done. 3-4 silly mistakes which could be avoided, but ye toh sabhi ka hota hain and exam mein mostly unavoidable. Rest 7-8 questions that i could answer correctly were those where i was confused with 2 options, in fact in most cases everyone is. Just that on the given day i chose one option and if i had chosen the other i would have 4-5 marks greater than the supposed predicted cut-off . Yaar i just don't get the exam. Most of all i get irritated when i hear topper's talks saying the same things which i have mostly practiced. I know that even if i had my best day i would only be hovering around 96-98 which gives me no confidence w.r.t what needs to be prepared.

Toppers talk looks like a cmplte scam to me.if we take a sample of 1000 people who follow those bs strategy given by topper gods and another 1000 who follow their own strategy,2nd group will have more number of people passing the exam.

@harilal "bohot bakchodi chal rahi andar" doesn't seem to be the language of a UPSC official.

@a_rakesh10399 search passage on internet. 2nd statement I guess is wrong as as per pdf available on internet, fig trees augment the growth of large woody trees. So both types can be found together

 Cause passage only refers to urban spaces whereas option is in a general way.

Cut off is around 89+-1 but now because of reevaluation with different key cut off can either go up or down ..

@balwintejas 

Is this a chat with some UPSC official?

Seems like fake to me 

No. He was discussing with his insider and they are pro-people for the informations. I don't think it's fake or something like that.
