@Captain_Peroxide yes .. as I said .. it might easy to us .. because we have practiced a lot .. but the post has 33-34 questions right n front of you .. of course not all can be attempted with 100% surety and with zero knowledge .. but still if you have even an iota of knowledge related the subject .. one can apply that knowledge..
I have seen people leaving questions just by seeing the length of options or after reading a key word like "Seed Village" wala question or "Root Bridges" wala questions.. we just want to convey that they can be attempted..
See, In our view, basic reason of asking such questions is to check our analytical power.. and not our rattafication power. .. and that is the reason there is scope of application of some logic in such questions.. otherwise why would one set absurd options like:
c) Decreased money circulation helps in controlling the inflation d) Increased money circulation helps in controlling the inflation
@Captain_Peroxide Yes you are right .. and we truly don't mean that our post would harm someone.. we have mentioned that clearly.. and we will make it more explicit...
And, there is a big difference between ALL state and ENTIRE coastline...
Anyways, I am also in no mood of debate
We all are mature enough to decide what is best for us.
@PanamaPandit I think it is logical to attempt max questions till u R able to eliminate options and make logical & educated guesses , and when does that happen ? When one has a sufficient knowledge base...even Roman said it with a disclaimer or may be he assumed that people will maximise their attempt logically...personally even before he said so I am a follower of this approach and it works perfectly fine !!
To summarise If you have eliminated 2 options there is only 1/16 chance that you will loose marks .. not risky If you have eliminated 1 option, there is only 16/81 chance that you will loose marks .. risky Total blind case, 135/216 chance that you will loose marks.. very risky

Best of luck!!
What about looking at last year's cutoff for a proof!!
slowly increase your speed, attempts, alongside with accuracy.
To summarise
If you have eliminated 2 options there is only 1/16 chance that you will loose marks .. not risky
If you have eliminated 1 option, there is only 16/81 chance that you will loose marks .. risky
Total blind case, 135/216 chance that you will loose marks.. very risky
Ofcourse assumptions of probability apply here..
So this point is demolished by me
