This question if from 2024 CSAT . There are many such easy to moderate questions which can be solved through practice. Try to do repeated practice of last 5-6 years CSAT pyqs then it will be easy for you to clear CSAT. If you do random maths or reasoning outside then it may not help much. You can watch CSAT pyq maths solutions videos on YouTube. It can be of any institution, Doesn’t matter.

This is also a good exam which you can give along with civils preparation
Many questions come from Ncert books directly.

One more thing I don’t want anyone to follow me blindly.
Whenever I post something or offer a suggestion or advice, please cross-verify it and question yourself whether it is right or wrong before accepting it.
As Lord Buddha said, accept something only if it agrees with your own logic and reasoning.

Before jumping into current affairs, make sure you have completed the PYQ-based static content of all Prelims subjects.
First, build a strong command over themes repeatedly asked in previous years’ questions.
Aim to reach a stage where any question from static portions feels answerable with confidence.

For example, in Economy, questions often come from areas like RBI, capital markets, and institutions such as the IMF.
In Science & Technology, topics like genetics, chemicals or elements in news, and electric vehicles technology are frequently asked.
In Environment, themes such as carbon markets, plastics, species, and conservation keep repeating.

Once these PYQ-based static areas are clear, move to current affairs in a smart and selective way.
Current affairs should add value to your static foundation, not replace it.
Reading too much current content without a strong static base only scatters focus, time and Energy.

1) Build your base first.
2) Strengthen your fundamentals.
3) Then let current affairs work in your favour.

Which of the following correctly differentiates lithium-ion batteries from sodium-ion batteries?

A. Sodium-ion batteries have higher energy density

B. Sodium-ion batteries rely on rarer raw materials

C. Sodium-ion batteries offer lower cost and better resource availability

D. Sodium-ion batteries are unsuitable for stationary storage

Solution:
Assign alphabetical positions:
A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4
⇒ 24
E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8
⇒ 1680
So the pattern is: product of the alphabetical positions.
Now for IJKL:
I=9, J=10, K=11, L=12
⇒ 11880
✅ Correct answer: (a) 11880

My Experiences and Thoughts

We people easily blame politicians and bureaucrats for crimes, disasters, loss of lives, accidents, etc.

If it is a dictatorship or an aristocratic form of government, where rulers and officers are not appointed through elections and merit but through discretion, then we can definitely blame them, as complete power lies with them.

But when it comes to democracy, where elections are held periodically, rulers are elected by the people, and officers are selected through examinations and can be removed by the government at any time, the situation is different.

In such a democracy, it is the people who are the ultimate rulers and who possess the real power to overthrow corrupt politicians and officers.
Undoubtedly, it is the people who should also be blamed for crimes and wrongdoings.

It is the people who should be blamed for being mute spectators, for not asking questions, and for taking money and electing corrupt politicians.
You cannot blame anyone else for your own ignorance.

Unless and until citizens become disciplined, selfless, Patriots and politically Active, India will continue to remain a developing nation for decades to come.

If we take examples from History and Present
America, Japan, China, and Europe became developed not merely due to politicians or bureaucrats, but because of active, aware, and responsible citizens.

The reason for this poll is this
Unless we honestly look at our weaknesses, accept them, and start working on them, nothing will change.
Write your weaknesses on a paper and stick it on your study board.
Look at them every day and remind yourself that you have to defeat those weaknesses.

Note:
Those who are messaging regarding Mentorship I will update about the new batch within a week. The batch will most probably start in the second week of March.

Every time, many students come to know about the Mentorship late and request to join in the middle. Please avoid that and try to join from the introductory session itself, because it is the session where we interact with each individual and explain the strategy and planning of the Mentorship.

So, please inform your friends who are interested as well.

As I said earlier, this time I am going to provide paper-wise Mains material and a PYQ book, so that you do not have to search here and there for different books or read multiple books unnecessarily.

My guidance is always about providing the right path and direction, helping students avoid random studies, and focusing on answer writing and notes making.

I will inform you of the fees and other details very soon.
