[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.


@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.

MANY FACOTRS ARE THERE, 93 HONII CHAHIYEE, HAR BAAR 60% JANTAA HOTI THI, ISS BAR 40 %.

Are bhai let me tell you one thing, many first timers this time are scoring good, because guess work se question ho gye hai jada knowledge ki jarurat nahi padi, toh usko bhi consider karna hoga

Based on my interaction with the 1st,2nd attempter, my juniors it appears that this year was not good for them.


They usually are risk averse. If they encounter something they have never heard of they usually leave it unlike senior players. Tukkebazi, gues work, cheat, hack whatever we may call... seniors are better at it...may be at subconscious level they knew the answer.


For most new players paper was nightmare.

@Upright Another angle

7.5 X 40 - 3.25 x 92 = 1

we are given only 2 sticks..not ‘n’ number of sticks Nor can break it

@Sramana So between 1 foot and 0.25, 0.25 is minimum. By the way let's stop any further discussion on this. Already Enough .

About that minister waala question, statement 1 takes too simplistic a view of constitutional provisions. The qualifications for being a minister have to be taken within the framework of parliamentary democracy. 

A person not qualified to be a MP/MLA cannot be appointed as minister, under any circumstances. However I still see a fallacy against this line of argument- *if a person less than 6months away from his 25th birthday is appointed a minister* but this seems to be a rather extreme exception.a finer analysis of constitutional provisions and it's philosophy is required to discern a trend.

A similar controversy was over whether a person can be made minister for 6 months without being a legislator, and then again be appointed for another 6 months. A simplistic analysis of provisions will find this not explicitly against constitutional provision, however the supreme court has ruled such appointments to be unconstitutional and thus void. Rulings on ordinances also reveal a similar philosophy.

Hence it is prudent to see these provisions from a broader perspective, and try to see the consequences of respective cases. Appointing an 18-24 year old citizen as minister for 6 months ridicules the fundamentals of parliamentary democracy, which requires ministers to be elected from parliament, and be responsible to it. A person who's not qualified to be elected as a member cannot possibly be expected to be responsible/bound by parliamentary principles, and so on the whole, statement 1 appears to be fallacious.

P.S. please review this from mains gs 2 perspective.

Achaaaa,

@Upright Done

Its not so..

usual case
i have 7.5 ft stick
i take 3.25 ft ..and measure it twice and get 1 foot

unusual case
i take the 1 foot (measured from the first case) and measure the 3.25 ft thrice,which leaves me with 0.25 ft. How ever It is  the Reuse  of 1 foot, amounts to a third stick being used

hence its 1 foot only (usual case)

@Sramana No dear. I am explaining my perspective one final time. Measure the 3.25 stick anywhere,on a floor/Wall,7 times and you arrive at 22.75 feet. Now you measure the 7.5 stick alongside 3 times and you arrive at 22.5 feet. The difference is 0.25. Good luck.

Your argument seems to be logical. But ,the ultimate fact is UPSC itself is not so logical. If we can put this debate of right and wrong answers aside ,then we all can agree on one fact that UPSC at times frames incomplete ,illogical and ambiguous questions  and this question (and several other questions like AI type ) is an example of this careless approach of UPSC in framing questions.100 fool proof questions can be framed , but in the end nobody cares for poor aspirants.

@Upright No point debating bro. Let people decide their own answers. Baaki UPSC maalik hai. But haan it's a bit surprising that a simple HCF question of 6th class is becoming a point of debate among graduates.
