@PICERAS https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/role-of-animal-serum-in-making-of-vaccines-cronavirus-covaxin-bharat-biotech-7363978/Don't know why virus is not given as the answer by many keys but I found this to be supporting this
I assume u are referring to the below line in the article
"These nutrients, like specific sugar and salt molecules, are extracted from tissues of suitable animals like horses, cow, goat or sheep.The virus grows in these nutrient-rich solutions."
The extracts are not artificial/synthetic right as there are from horses, cow etc. Thus idon't think this might be thearticle to substantiate your (actually our as i have also marked D) argument.
was accidently binging on student responses after the UPSC exam (mainly GS1) due to stupid youtube recc. But i noticed most students felt the paper was easy or at best moderate and definitely easier than last year. Personally, I was blank after the exam as i thought it all depends on how my guesses went and definitely would not classify the paper as easy just because 5-10 questions were easy/repeated from last year. Just wondering how others felt immediately after the exam. I know it does not matter now anyways, but i have time to kill.I knew it was tough and got upset even while attempting it.either they were lying or they were state psc candidates.
after the exam I felt, whether I would qualify or not depends a lot on my 50/50, 1 out of 3, and also some wild guesses.
Hernan cortez,
Just found this in my tax module. May be useful for those debating Dayabhaga and Mitakshara.
plmokn25688524,There are two kinds of difficult papers. Consider a simple example of National parks, which almost every serious candidate can memorize. Last, year, you had to also know that Godavari passes through Papikonda instead of Cauvery. Just knowing that it lies in Andhra Pradesh is not enough. This is an illustration of standard syllabi made conceptually difficult. A diligent candidate may be able to work it our based on basic understanding of geographical distribution of National Parks.
Then there is the difficulty level of which organism is "filter based feeder", or which one rolls up for protection etc.
If you know, you know types. This is absurd level of difficulty.
JEE is the first type. Everyone knows all the trigonometric formulas, par bhaisahab ek one line question rula sakta hai if you are unable to recognize which formula to use. Instead, imagine they start giving analytic continuation in JEE, no one is scoring that.
Last year, I cleared forest pre. This year, marks in 80s. numerous examples like me are floating around this blog. 4 or 5 people may be a small sample size, but it's the sample size of people who not only cleared pre but aced it.
The shock factor in last years paper started to wear off after 10 minutes or so once you got in the rhythm, because 80 odd questions were doable, and right up the traditional prelims syllabus alley. This year, the every time I turned the page, I was shocked. After 10 minutes, I was almost excited for the next set of questions on the new page to find out what new shocking thing I am going to discover.

Hmm. Right.. Culturing living cells while artificial synthetic means nutrients and all
Answer A hi hoga 1 and 2
Beyond doubt
I also marked D but it is wrong sure shot.. Research papers se to yaar kuch bhi possible hain.
@CouchPotato in IRS?
@Stay_happy the point is if the culture of virus is possible on a artificial/synthetic medium. I do not have the scholarship to define what and artificial/synthetic medium exactly refers to, but i would guess it has nothing to do with using substances that have biological origin.
Right.. Answer would be A only..

plmokn25688524,Whenever you consider a situation like this prelims, leave out the outliers. Consider my hypothesis. What does a fresher do? Listen to the former candidates who got selected, enroll for a coaching and/or a test series and develop their understanding of the exam they are about to face based on these restrictions. In a sea of syllabus, islands of certainty are identified, and the knowledge about them fortified.
What does an old, repeating candidate do who succeeded? Fortify his/her old methods that did prove effective. For instance, they also memorize all the Tiger Reserves, all the Ramsar sites, wildlife sanctuaries in news along with the already memorized National Parks they did for the previous successful attempt.
What does a candidate who failed with a near miss do? Identify easy sitters that they should have scored. More often than not, they are from Modern history or repeated questions like parks, reports, indices (hypothesizing heavily here based on experience).
What was the paper this year? Are you telling me any candidate went out of his way to actually study from books that contain what was asked here? For example, everyone studies the Vijaynagara kingdom. Which commonly used book contains what Nunez says about women?
The thing is, there will always be someone who will get them right. But a very small section that will not substantially affect the fortunes of the majority.
