Bad decision choices

From official answers, we can see UPSC hates following type of choices:

1. Pliable guy:1. bribe giver2. bribe taker3. choses to look the other way while others are involved in wrongdoing,4. Easily gets scarred or intimidated.

2. No discipline guy:1. shows Arrogance2. Insubordination: lack of respect towards authority, Goes on leave without telling boss etc.3. liar, Gives excuses instead of doing his job.

3. Implausible, impractical choice e.g. free water or electricity to everyone irrespective of his incomestatus.

4. “Take no action” guy: prefers status quo, takes no action, “Committee mindset”5. Biased officer, apathetic officer, evasive officer.6. Short term oriented. A decision that will break office discipline in long term.

Good decisions

From official answers, we can see UPSC hates following type of choices:

1. Humane e.g. giving free water / electricity but only to BPL2. Punctuality, meets the deadlines3. Upright Honest person4. Atleast trying to do take some “positive action” rather than continue with status quo

Just eliminate two bad decision

In Decision Making questions, there is no negative marking. And as per official answerkey-two possiblecorrect answers. (Which of them is best? UPSC doesn’t tell)

But still, this reduces the effort. Instead of looking for right answer, just eliminate two baddest worstanswer choices using the list given above. Then you’re automatically left with right answers. Pick any onebased on which you think is right for the given question.

Let’s try…

(2012) You are handling a priority project and have been meeting all the deadlines and planning your leaveduring the project. Your immediate boss does not grant leave citing the urgency of the project. You would____.

1. Proceed on leave without waiting for the sanction (indiscipline)2. Pretend to be sick and take leave (liar)3. Approach higher authority to reconsider the leave application.4. Tell the boss that it is not justified.

So A and B automatically eliminated. We are left with correct answer C or D.

Ok 2012’s official answerkey is available. So I or anyone can ‘fit’ the logic after knowing official answers!let’s apply this technique for CSAT 2013, where official answerkey is not available. (When officialanswerkey comes, after final result – we’ll see how apt this approach is.)



CSAT 2013 Questions

Q. House allotment problem: Secretary wants house because his father ill. But HQ said no.

A. Call him over to your room and personally explain why the allotment cannot be done.B. Allot the house to him to win his loyalty. (biased, will break office discipline)C. Agree with the office note to show that you are not biased and that you do not indulge in favoritism.D. Keep the file with you and not pass any orders. (status quo guy)

Thus we are left with two choices: A and C. (But are they really correct? we’ll see when answerkey comes.)

Q. you’re passenger, Taxi driver gives bribe to transport office

a. Go up to the counter and ask the clerk to give back the money which he has illegally taken.b. Do not interfere at all as this is a matter between the taxi driver and the tax authorities. (pliable)c. Take note of the incident and subsequently report the matter to the concerned authorities.d. Treat it as a normal affair and simply forget about it. (status quo)

Again after eliminating bad decisions, we are left with A and C.

Q. You’re DM, a village came long way to submit complaint but you’re busy with work.

A. Tell him to wait for another two hours till you come back from your next meeting. (Apathetic)B. Tell him that the matter is actually to be dealt by a junior officer and that he should give the

application to him. (Evader)C. Call one of your senior subordinate officers and ask him to solve the villager’s problem. (this is not

evader because asking ‘senior’ subordinate to “solve” problem.)D. Quickly take the application from him, ask him a few relevant questions regarding his problem and

then proceed to the meeting.

We are left with C or D

Q. You’re DM. There is sugar quota order but friend asking additional supply for marriagereception

a. Release the extra amount of sugar which your friend has requested for. (biased officer)b. Refuse your friend the extra amount and strictly follow the rules.c. Show your friend the copy of the Government instructions and then persuade him to accept the lower

amount as prescribed in the rules.d. Advise him to directly apply to the allotting authority and inform him that you do not interfere in this

matter. (Evader. because friend may try to pursued that other officer saying “I’m best friend of DM”.)

We are left with B or C

Q. You are in-charge of implementing the Family Planning programme in an area where there is astrong opposition to the present policy. You want to convince the residents of the need for keepingsmall families. What would be the best way of communicating this message?

A. By logically explaining to the residents the need for family planning to improve the health and livingstandards.

B. By encouraging late marriages and proper spacing of children. (ya but how do you “communicate”?)C. By offering incentives for adopting family planning devices. (ya but he’s asking you to

“Communicate” this message?)D. By asking people who have been sterilized or are using contraceptives to directly talk to the residents.

We are left with A or D

Q. You’re setting university paper. Colleague asks you for this paper so his son can clear last



attempt. he has done favors in past.

A. In view of the help he had given you, extend your help to him. (biased guy)B. Regret that you cannot be of any help to him.C. Explain to your colleague that this would be violating the trust of the University authorities and you

are not in a position to help him.D. Report the conduct of your colleague to the higher authorities. (too extreme, given that he had helped

in past).

This one is hard for “two eliminations”. Because B, C and D all sound legit. “C” seems to be the bestalternative though. Actually B=C. But C is “communicating” the message in better way than “B”.

Anyways final judge UPSC’s official answerkey.

Elimination doesn’t always work though!

Sometimes statement is open to multiple interpretations and if you drag the logic then it leads to a trackaway from official answer key. Consider this problem:

Q.You are a chairperson of a state sports committee. You have received a complaint and later it was foundthat an athlete in junior age category who has won a medal has crossed the age criteria by 5 days. Youwould…

1. Ask the screening committee for a clarification2. Ask the athlete to return the medal3. Ask the athlete to get an affidavit from the court declaring his/her age.4. Ask the members of the committee for their views

The statement says “later it was found that….he has crossed age by five days” => so on thatinterpretation even “B” seems a right answer because if he cheated on age, then chairman should take backhis medal. But official answer is A or D.

But such odd questions are in minority. And even in worst case you should tick an option anyways becausethere is no negative marking in the Decision Making questions.

Where to get practice?

Various Publication houses came up with separate books but hardly few UPSC level question. Most of themis just bolbachhan about Plato, Kautilya etc. (sometimes even copied from Wikipedia!) Hence theircontent doesn’t justify the price tag. (just like their comprehension books for CSAT)

Nonetheless, hit the library go through following:

1. Pratiyogita Darpan’s SSB Group Task/Interview related articles. They don’t usually contain MCQswith 1,2,3,4 choices, but you’ll still get good problems and case studies.

2. Civil service Times (CST): their mock test papers3. CSAT aptitude manuals TMH, Arihant, Pearson (whatever is available free in the library or

temporarily borrow from a friend in exchange of some good book from your side.)4. you’ll find some demo questions here too: Mrunal.org/ethics

Anyways, moving to the next issue:

Maths: Medium priority topics

Medium priority =only while allot time for various topics in your study schedule for paper I and paper II.These medium priority topics are rarely asked in UPSC. But they’re are not difficult, very few variety ofquestions, you have to memorize just 3-5 formulas. require barely ~2 hours study practice for 1 or 2

http://mrunal.org/ethics



NCERT chapters.Hence you should definately try to make time in your schedule for them.

For UPSC examiner, there is no such “medium” priority, he is free to ask whatever he wishes from uptoClassX.

M1: Arithmetic Progression (AP)

(2011) A contract on construction job specifies a penalty for delay in completion of the work beyond acertain date IS as follows : Rs. 200 for the first day, Rs. 250 for the second day, Rs. 300 for the third dayetc., the penalty for each succeeding day being 50 more than that of the preceding day. How much penaltyshould the contractor pay if he delays the work by 10 days? Ans.4250

Beyond that your quant book for additional practice. Geometric progression (GP) starts from Class11, sofar not asked in prelims so you may ignore.

M2: Coordinate Geometry

1. [1995] In the Cartesian plane, four points P,Q,R,S have co-ordinates (1,1), (4,2), (4,4) and (1,4)respectively. The area of the quadrilateral PQRS is __? Ans 7.5

2. [1999] At a given time, two players are standing on a play-field. The Cartesian coordinates of theirlocations are (20,60) and (-40,-20) units. What is the distance between the players? Ans. 100 units

As such coordinate geometry is rarely asked in UPSC. But, Coordinate geometry is not tough. You justhave to do one chapter in NCERT=At max, two hour study and calculation. So, from that angle, cost :Benefit is still quite good. You might get lucky finding one MCQ in the exam, in this cut-throatcompetition every mark counts.

M3: Polynomials & Quadratic equation

It is part Class8, 9 and 10 NCERTs. Official UPSC syllabus says basic numeracy “upto class 10”. AlthoughUPSC hasn’t asked this in 2011, 2012 or 2013. But such questions have appeared in pre-CSAT era, in1995, 96, 99, 2001. Observe



(1995) what is the value of (a-m)(b-m)….(y-m)(z-m).Ans. actuallythis one quite easy: m-m=0 so entire multiplication will be zero.

Maths: Low priority topics

Low priority doesn’t mean UPSC will *NOT* ask them. Low priority means, within your study time table,do them at last depending on how much free time left.

First allot time for

1. high priority topics such as history, polity, science, economy, environment (for Paper I) and thosereasoning-comprehension & other high priority topics under Maths (for Paper II).

2. then medium priority math topics given above3. and finally to the following low priority topics.

Reason: following topics not frequently asked. They’re not difficult but have many variety of questions andformulas=> each of them take more than 4 hours to master. Therefore, put under low priority in terms ofstudy time allotment.

1. Geometry theory: Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Circles (TQC)



2. Trigonometry: only height n distance3. Permutation Combination Probability4. Statistics

L1: Geometry theory (TQC)

Geometry image based Qs

(Prelim 1998) LMNOP is a semicircle with centre at R and diameter LP. LSR and RQP are also semi-circles with centres at T and U respectively and diameters LR=RP=1/2 LP. What is the ratio of perimeterof LMNOP and LSRQP?

Ans. 1:1

(Prelim 2000) in the given figure, all line segments of the shaded portion are of same length and at rightangles to each other. What is the area of the shaded portion?

Ans.52 cm2

(Prelim 2001) in the given figure ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. if AB=BECAUSE and angle BAC=70,then what is the measurement of angle ADC?



Ans. 140

Without images

[1999] If the angle of triangle are in the ratio of 4:3:2, then the triangle

a. Is obtuse angled triangleb. Has one angle greater than 80 degreec. Is a right triangled. Is acute angled triangle (this is the right answer)

[2000] Which one of the following has a greater perimeter than the rest?

a. A square with the area of 36 sq.cm.b. An equilateral triangle with a side of 9 cmc. A rectangle with 10 cm as length and 40 sq cm as area. (this is the right answer)d. A circle with a radius of 4 cm

These questions mostly deal with angle, side related theorems of triangle, circle and quadrilaterals. Thesetype of sums have been asked in earlier prelims, but in less frequency than Area-volume-perimeter. As suchthe list of topics, will look quite daunting but in reality its not that difficult. Lengthy yes. Difficult no.

Clocks

1. [1997] The number of times in a day the Hour-hand and the Minute-hand of a clock are at right angles,is __. Ans 48

2. [1998] An accurate clock shows the time as 3.00. After hour hand has 135 degree, the time would be__. Ans 7:30

3. (2000) A clock shows 8AM in the morning. Throughout how many degrees will the hour hand rotatewhen the clock shows 2 o’clock in the afternoon? Ans.180

4. [2009] How many times are an hour hand and a minute hand of a clock at right angles during theirmotion from 1.00 p.m. to 10.00 p.m.? Ans.18

5. (2002) When the time in the wall-clock is 3.25 p.m., the acute angle between the hours-hand and theminute- hand is ___? Ans 47.5 degrees.

NCERT class7 deals with measuring angles, but that’s kid-stuff. For Clock problem, directly memorize thereadymade formulas given in your Quant book, and practice sums from there. And in the exam, bring wristwatch and geometry compass for quick calculation (especially the 47.5 degree!)

L2: Trigonometry

I could notice only one MCQ so far

(1999) A man is standing on a 6 meter pole whose shadow length is 8 meters. IF the length of his shadow is2.4m, what is the height of this man? Ans. 1.8 metes

There are two ways to solve above question

1. Similarity of triangles, then take two ratios of sides. => in that case it’s a Geometry TQC problem2. TAN ratios (because there will be two angles with same measurement) => in that case it’s a

Trigonometry problem.

Anyways, no need to consult NCERT or the Quant book for this. Because I made videos and incorporated allgood sums from NCERTs within my subsequent articles. Links

How to proceed?

1. learn concepts from above articles, and you’ll able to solve most of the problems without needing anyformulas:

i. [Aptitude] Permutation Combination made easy without Formulas

ii. [Aptitude] PnC: arrange such that two people Always sitting together?

iii. [Aptitude] Probability Made Easy (Extension of Permutation Combination Concept!)

iv. [Aptitude] PnC: How many Ways to arrange letters of word “RECUPERATE” (Permutation without

Formulas)

v. [Aptitude] PnC: All possible numbers using 012345, All possible words using ABCDE, Permutation

Arrangement Made Easy with and without Formulas

2. Then solve NCERT Class11 Ch.7 for permutation – combination problems. (yes syllabus says is“maths upto ClassX” but UPSC has asked PnC questions in CSAT-2011 so perhaps examinerconsiders this topic part of reasoning and not maths.

3. Probability: up to class10 books cover very basic concepts, don’t have much CSAT quality questions.So go through NCERT class 11 Chapter 16.

4. Beyond that your quant book for additional practice.

L4: Statistics

(1999) the office distribution of working hours is following

Members Work Hours

5 0-19

1 20-24

25 25-29

40 30-34

15 35-39

8 40-45

Consider following inferences drawn from the table

1. average number of working hours is 302. % of those who worked 35 or more hours, is less than 253. at least five staff members worked more than 44 hours

Which of the inferences is/are valid?

d. 1,2 and 3

Above question tests your understanding of cumulative frequency and averages of grouped data with classintervals. Such pre-CSAT questions can be asked again, because this taught in Class10 NCERT chapter 14.And upto class10 is part of the new CSAT Syllabus.

Anyways, topic not difficult all. Can be finished in less than four hours. (Hence cost: Benefit is still betterthan culture topic in Prelim GS.) First goto following playlist and Watch my video number 1, 3, 7, 8, 14,17, 18 and 19.

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4D384E259F9ADECE

Avoid videos related to mean deviation, quartile deviation and standard deviation they’re from class11hence not part of syllabus. (They were part of old-mains syllabus. no longer relevant for new prelims or newmains)

Also mugup this formula: 3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean

Where to get practice?

1. Class 10 NCERT Chapter 14a. Exercise 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4b. understand the remark given on page 279

2. General studies (mains) paper II before 2013. Because they had these topics in syllabus.
