Our first take on CSAT-2014

A Premier exam conducting antlority like UPSC is known for its surprises and this year was of no exception. Last 3 year 

trend has been broken as there were no decision-making question, Bilingual Comprehension were of varied subjects and werelengthy.

In the Numerical & Logical Reasoing few questions were tricky rest all manageable. Calculation based knowledge and fast

reading technique is definitely required to handle these questions. Critical Reasoning questions are turning out to be key diffrentiat

or with few figure based puzzle questions. All in all it was a mix of average, easy and difficult questions and a sincere, hard

working student would not have find it difficult but compared to last 3 year CSAT paper this year was slightly tricky if not

difficult.

Hence, (a) is the correct option.

26. Second paragraph is talking about possible loss of genetic

resources and species and decrease in ecosystem services.

Thus, (1) is correct as some endemic species are

vulnerable but not whole ecosystem. Hence, (a) is the

correct option.

27. Contemporary conservation is required for natural

adjustments to climate change. (a) is man made problem,

(c) and (b) are more general in its definition. Though

they are correct but not related with question. Hence, (d)

is the correct option.

28. Through out the passage, author is carrying forward two

themes climate change and Himalayan ecosystem. Hence,

(c) is the correct option.

29. Assumptions comes before the passage or before the

author has started writing the content. Extinction of 

ecosystem is not shared only threat to it. Thus, (3) ruled

out. (1) is more of a conclusion or final word. (2) is the

correct assumption as both man-made activities and

climate change itself is hurting Himalayan ecosystem.

Hence, (b) is the correct option.

52. In the first paragraph it is written that debate is on free

market operations and its ability for self correction. Thus,

apologists try to defend this face value of free market

operations. Both (a) and (c) are in this direction, but no

control of government authorities seems out of the

 periphery of passage. Hence, (c) is the correct option.

53. Ideological bias opposed by apologists by their 

assumption of unregulated market is fair.  ideological

 bias conveys that there is a general thinking that free

market is not fair. Apologists also believe that private

greed is good or biased which is ultimately against the

ideological bias that private greed is not good. Thus, we

can say that ‘ideological bias’ as far as free market is

concerned that the free market is neither fair nor biased.

Hence, (d) is the correct option.

54. Mentioned line in the question do not question mark 

capitalism and not glorify it. Thus, (1) and (3) ruled out.

(4) is more co-related. Hence, (d) is the correct option.

55. State plays an important role in India’s industrialization.

Thus, (1) ruled out. Public sector puts up less than

satisfactory performance. Thus, (2) is correct. Passage

suggests about availability of broad social base for 

expanding entrepreneurship not in private sector 

expansion. Thus, (3) ruled out. Passage is taking about

enforcing competition policies not availability of an

effective one now. Thus, (4) ruled out. Hence, (b) is the

correct option.

56. Private sector does not enter rural roads as tolling is not

viable or not having enough money as an incentive for 

 private sector. Thus, rural road should be the doman of 

 public sector. Hence, (b) is the correct option.

57. Portfolio composition should not be static for 

government, it should be in various sector. Hence, (c) is

the correct option.

58. Last paragraph is suggesting that government agency act

as a regulator (umpire) and private sector as players.

Either (a) or (d) should be correct. Option (a) seems more

relevant as it is co-related with the passage theme. Hence,

(a) is the correct option.

59. ABCD EFGH

Medieval Modern

 Now, GH and FE are likeable groups.

Last year question was A (Medieval), so this year it has

to be Modern.

Paper setter does not like to ask question from F but since

he like F which means he like E as well.

Therefore most likeable question would be from E.

Hence, (b) is the correct option.

60. Follow the truth Table,

Girija × ×  

Varaja   ×  

Jalaja   × ×

Shailaja   × ×

Tanuja   ×

4 Dancers, 4 Vocal Musicians, 1 Actress and 3 Violinists

According to Questions use need 3 violinists of which

Girija and Varaja already confirmed. Among Jalaja,

Varaja, Shailaja and Tanuja, two are violinists but Jalaja

and Shailaja cannot be violinists, so we left with Tanuja

who is also a Dancer. Hence, (d) is the correct answer.

61. P-T = 5 or T-P = 5

But, since P = 4

T-P = 5 or T = 9

 Now, T is maximum value of all the Alphabets given.

 N-T = 3 or T-N = 3

 N 6

Hence, (d) is the correct answer.

the final merit list to decide cut off for prelims-CSE 2014.

Our first take on CSAT-2014

A Premier exam conducting antlority like UPSC is known for its surprises and this year was of no exception. Last 3 year 

trend has been broken as there were no decision-making question, Bilingual Comprehension were of varied subjects and werelengthy.

In the Numerical & Logical Reasoing few questions were tricky rest all manageable. Calculation based knowledge and fast

reading technique is definitely required to handle these questions. Critical Reasoning questions are turning out to be key diffrentiat

or with few figure based puzzle questions. All in all it was a mix of average, easy and difficult questions and a sincere, hard

working student would not have find it difficult but compared to last 3 year CSAT paper this year was slightly tricky if not

difficult.

1. Second paragraph is talking about possible loss of genetic

resources and species and decrease in ecosystem services.

Thus, (1) is correct as some endemic species are

vulnerable but not whole ecosystem. Hence, (a) is the

correct option.

2. Contemporary conservation is required for natural

adjustments to climate change. (a) is man made problem,

(c) and (b) are more general in its definition. Though

they are correct but not related with question. Hence, (d)

is the correct option.

3. Through out the passage, author is carrying forward two

themes climate change and Himalayan ecosystem. Hence,

(c) is the correct option.

4. Assumptions comes before the passage or before the

ecosystem is not shared only threat to it. Thus, (3) ruled

out. (1) is more of a conclusion or final word. (2) is the

correct assumption as both man-made activities and

climate change itself is hurting Himalayan ecosystem.

Hence, (b) is the correct option.

5. Government interventions lead to negative effect overall

as discussed in the passage. Hence, (a) is the correct

option.

6. Globalization is not solely related to producers but relatedto freedom of markets to produce and sell and its theme

applies to education, health, employment and wages as

well. Hence, (c) is the correct option.

7. Concept of public expenditure is not discussed. (1), (3)

and (4) are directly discussed in the passage. Hence, (c)

is the correct option.

8. As per the passage, state should have the least

intervention. Hence, (b) is the correct option.

9. Clear observation of graph suggests 1996. Hence, (b) is

the correct answer.

10. (c)

11. (d)

12. For (B) it is steady from 1997 to 1998 and goes increasing

afterwards.

Hence, graph is non-decreasing or (b) is the correct

option.

50. In the first paragraph it is written that debate is on free

market operations and its ability for self correction. Thus,

apologists try to defend this face value of free market

operations. Both (a) and (c) are in this direction, but no

control of government authorities seems out of the

 periphery of passage. Hence, (c) is the correct option.

51. Ideological bias opposed by apologists by their 

assumption of unregulated market is fair.  ideological

 bias conveys that there is a general thinking that free

market is not fair. Apologists also believe that private

greed is good or biased which is ultimately against the

ideological bias that private greed is not good. Thus, we

can say that ‘ideological bias’ as far as free market is

concerned that the free market is neither fair nor biased.

Hence, (d) is the correct option.

52. Mentioned line in the question do not question mark 

capitalism and not glorify it. Thus, (1) and (3) ruled out.

(4) is more co-related. Hence, (d) is the correct option.

53. State plays an important role in India’s industrialization.

Thus, (1) ruled out. Public sector puts up less than

satisfactory performance. Thus, (2) is correct. Passagesuggests about availability of broad social base for 

expanding entrepreneurship not in private sector 

expansion. Thus, (3) ruled out. Passage is taking about

enforcing competition policies not availability of an

effective one now. Thus, (4) ruled out. Hence, (b) is the

correct option.

54. Private sector does not enter rural roads as tolling is not

viable or not having enough money as an incentive for 

 private sector. Thus, rural road should be the doman of 

 public sector. Hence, (b) is the correct option.

55. Portfolio composition should not be static for 

government, it should be in various sector. Hence, (c) is

the correct option.

56. Last paragraph is suggesting that government agency act

as a regulator (umpire) and private sector as players.

Either (a) or (d) should be correct. Option (a) seems more

relevant as it is co-related with the passage theme. Hence,

(a) is the correct option.

57. ABCD EFGH

Medieval Modern

 Now, GH and FE are likeable groups.

Last year question was A (Medieval), so this year it has

to be Modern.

Paper setter does not like to ask question from F but since

he like F which means he like E as well.

Therefore most likeable question would be from E.

Hence, (b) is the correct option.

58. Follow the truth Table,

Dancers Vocal Musicians Actress Violinists

Girija × ×  

Varaja   ×  

Jalaja   × ×

Shailaja   × ×

Tanuja   ×  

Pooja ×   ×

4 Dancers, 4 Vocal Musicians, 1 Actress and 3 Violinists

According to Questions use need 3 violinists of which

Girija and Varaja already confirmed. Among Jalaja,

Varaja, Shailaja and Tanuja, two are violinists but Jalaja

and Shailaja cannot be violinists, so we left with Tanuja

who is also a Dancer. Hence, (d) is the correct answer.

59. P-T = 5 or T-P = 5

But, since P = 4

T-P = 5 or T = 9

 Now, T is maximum value of all the Alphabets given.

 N-T = 3 or T-N = 3

 N 6

Hence, (d) is the correct answer.

Our first take on CSAT-2014

A Premier exam conducting antlority like UPSC is known for its surprises and this year was of no exception. Last 3 year 

trend has been broken as there were no decision-making question, Bilingual Comprehension were of varied subjects and werelengthy.

In the Numerical & Logical Reasoing few questions were tricky rest all manageable. Calculation based knowledge and fast

reading technique is definitely required to handle these questions. Critical Reasoning questions are turning out to be key diffrentiat

or with few figure based puzzle questions. All in all it was a mix of average, easy and difficult questions and a sincere, hard

working student would not have find it difficult but compared to last 3 year CSAT paper this year was slightly tricky if not

difficult.

1. In the first paragraph it is written that debate is on free

market operations and its ability for self correction. Thus,apologists try to defend this face value of free market

operations. Both (a) and (c) are in this direction, but no

control of government authorities seems out of the

 periphery of passage. Hence, (c) is the correct option.

2. Ideological bias opposed by apologists by their 

assumption of unregulated market is fair.  ideological

 bias conveys that there is a general thinking that free

market is not fair. Apologists also believe that private

greed is good or biased which is ultimately against the

ideological bias that private greed is not good. Thus, we

can say that ‘ideological bias’ as far as free market is

concerned that the free market is neither fair nor biased.

Hence, (d) is the correct option.

3. Mentioned line in the question do not question mark 

capitalism and not glorify it. Thus, (1) and (3) ruled out.

(4) is more co-related. Hence, (d) is the correct option.

4. State plays an important role in India’s industrialization.

Thus, (1) ruled out. Public sector puts up less than

satisfactory performance. Thus, (2) is correct. Passage

suggests about availability of broad social base for 

expanding entrepreneurship not in private sector 

expansion. Thus, (3) ruled out. Passage is taking about

enforcing competition policies not availability of an

effective one now. Thus, (4) ruled out. Hence, (b) is the

correct option.

5. Private sector does not enter rural roads as tolling is not

viable or not having enough money as an incentive for 

 private sector. Thus, rural road should be the doman of 

 public sector. Hence, (b) is the correct option.

6. Portfolio composition should not be static for 

government, it should be in various sector. Hence, (c) is

the correct option.

7. Last paragraph is suggesting that government agency act

as a regulator (umpire) and private sector as players.

Either (a) or (d) should be correct. Option (a) seems more

relevant as it is co-related with the passage theme. Hence,

(a) is the correct option.

8. ABCD EFGH

Medieval Modern

 Now, GH and FE are likeable groups.

Last year question was A (Medieval), so this year it has

to be Modern.

Paper setter does not like to ask question from F but since

he like F which means he like E as well.

Therefore most likeable question would be from E.

Hence, (b) is the correct option.

9. Follow the truth Table,

Dancers Vocal Musicians Actress Violinists

Girija × ×  

Varaja   ×  

Jalaja   × ×

Shailaja   × ×

Tanuja   ×  

Pooja ×   ×

4 Dancers, 4 Vocal Musicians, 1 Actress and 3 Violinists

According to Questions use need 3 violinists of which

Girija and Varaja already confirmed. Among Jalaja,

Varaja, Shailaja and Tanuja, two are violinists but Jalaja

and Shailaja cannot be violinists, so we left with Tanuja

who is also a Dancer. Hence, (d) is the correct answer.

10. P-T = 5 or T-P = 5

But, since P = 4

T-P = 5 or T = 9

 Now, T is maximum value of all the Alphabets given.

 N-T = 3 or T-N = 3

 N 6

Hence, (d) is the correct answer.

Our first take on CSAT-2014

A Premier exam conducting antlority like UPSC is known for its surprises and this year was of no exception. Last 3 year 

trend has been broken as there were no decision-making question, Bilingual Comprehension were of varied subjects and werelengthy.

In the Numerical & Logical Reasoing few questions were tricky rest all manageable. Calculation based knowledge and fast

reading technique is definitely required to handle these questions. Critical Reasoning questions are turning out to be key diffrentiat

or with few figure based puzzle questions. All in all it was a mix of average, easy and difficult questions and a sincere, hard

working student would not have find it difficult but compared to last 3 year CSAT paper this year was slightly tricky if not

difficult.

English speaking people = 21

Only English = 11

Hindi speaking people = 39

Only Hindi = 29

Both English and Hindi = 10

Alternatively

n(E  H) = n(E) + n(H) – n(E  H)

50 = 21 + n(H) – 10

n(H) = 39 and Only Hindi = 29

and only English = 11

Hence, (d) is the correct answer.

8. Length breadth = Area.

if length is increased by 40%

 periphery of passage. Hence, (c) is the correct option.

15. Ideological bias opposed by apologists by their 

assumption of unregulated market is fair.  ideological

 bias conveys that there is a general thinking that free

market is not fair. Apologists also believe that private

greed is good or biased which is ultimately against the

ideological bias that private greed is not good. Thus, we

can say that ‘ideological bias’ as far as free market is

concerned that the free market is neither fair nor biased.

Hence, (d) is the correct option.

16. Mentioned line in the question do not question mark 

capitalism and not glorify it. Thus, (1) and (3) ruled out.

(4) is more co-related. Hence, (d) is the correct option.

17. State plays an important role in India’s industrialization.

Thus, (1) ruled out. Public sector puts up less than

satisfactory performance. Thus, (2) is correct. Passage

suggests about availability of broad social base for 

expanding entrepreneurship not in private sector 

expansion. Thus, (3) ruled out. Passage is taking about

enforcing competition policies not availability of an

effective one now. Thus, (4) ruled out. Hence, (b) is the

correct option.

18. Private sector does not enter rural roads as tolling is not

viable or not having enough money as an incentive for 

 private sector. Thus, rural road should be the doman of 

 public sector. Hence, (b) is the correct option.

19. Portfolio composition should not be static for 

government, it should be in various sector. Hence, (c) is

the correct option.

20. Last paragraph is suggesting that government agency act

as a regulator (umpire) and private sector as players.

Either (a) or (d) should be correct. Option (a) seems more

relevant as it is co-related with the passage theme. Hence,

(a) is the correct option.

21. ABCD EFGH

Medieval Modern

 Now, GH and FE are likeable groups.

Last year question was A (Medieval), so this year it has

to be Modern.

Paper setter does not like to ask question from F but since

he like F which means he like E as well.

Therefore most likeable question would be from E.

Hence, (b) is the correct option.

22. Follow the truth Table,

Dancers Vocal Musicians Actress Violinists

Girija × ×  

Varaja   ×  

Jalaja   × ×

According to Questions use need 3 violinists of which

Girija and Varaja already confirmed. Among Jalaja,

Varaja, Shailaja and Tanuja, two are violinists but Jalajaand Shailaja cannot be violinists, so we left with Tanuja

who is also a Dancer. Hence, (d) is the correct answer.

23. P-T = 5 or T-P = 5

But, since P = 4

T-P = 5 or T = 9

 Now, T is maximum value of all the Alphabets given.

 N-T = 3 or T-N = 3

 N 6

Hence, (d) is the correct answer.

24. Army and Civil Population is truly a wrong sample to

compare with. Thus, it would be a flawed Conclusion to

compare statistics of two different demography. Hence,

(d) is the correct answer.
