Similar examples,

With reference to the use of nano-technology in health sector, which of the following statements is/are correct?
1. Targeted drug delivery is made possible by nanotechnology.
2. Nanotechnology can largely contribute to gene therapy.
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2
(d) Neither 1 nor 2

statement 1: Out of all the technologies in the health sector, choosing something specific like "targeted drug delivery" to make a false statement? Highly improbable because it would take time to search for things which are "not associated" with something. Usually the internet or any source if full of result that involve associations with something.
Therefore statement has to be true.

Statement 2: Again "gener therapy" is something specific and has to be true. Also notice the word "Can". Usually words like can, may be are true.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the context of modem scientific research, consider the following statements about ‘lceCube’, a particle detector located at South Pole, which was recently in the news :
1. It is the world’s largest neutrino detector, encompassing a cubic kilometre of ice.
2. It is a powerful telescope to search for dark matter.
3. It is buried deep in the ice.
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3

Statement 1: As maximbady said, a statement with full of info is mostly true. "largest" "neutrino detector" "cubic kilometre" "ice". 4 pieces of information
Statement 2: "Telescope" and "Dark matter" are specific words, they have to be true.
Statement 3: Buried deep in ice. This one is tough, You really cant guess if its inside or outside. But the options made it easy.. Since there is no 1 and 2 option.. it also has to be true

Tukka making is a real thing but I think it give results only when one knew something related to that topic( Long term memory+ Common sense plays An important part here)

Just wanted to share my 2 cents here.

I gave my first attempt in 2015. I have given many mock tests before and it is safe to say that I had ample practice in attempting the paper. However, sitting inside an examination hall is entirely a different game. I realised it once the invigilator was distributing the paper and all sorts of 'strategies' that are to be employed were revolving in my mind. Here's what I did.

I went through a quick glance at all 100 questions, did not touch the OMR and attempted the questions on the question paper which I am 100% confident of. Somewhere around 40 were answered. The second round required greater scrutiny and elimination of options (no guesses) and that added another 20 questions to the tally. Now I started to mark these on the OMR carefully, so that I won't screw up with the question-answer combo. The third round was very difficult and I attempted questions which I was 95% sure of and this made my final tally to 64.

My final result was 58:6, with a score of 112 and I am in for the second round.

TL;DR - Never did any so called 'tukka', but eliminating options will easily add 5-10 questions.

Upsc sometimes do this.
They give question about laddakh wala observatory and give some options from Western ghat wala observatory or Ligo observatory.. options would be as specific as in these above questions. These days some coaching test series (always try to copy upsc, unsuccessfully mostly) also following the same method to confuse the test takers... Your formula seems workable in case if we know one option.
But is baar mai jai mata di bol ke try karunga ye wala concept agar kuch bhi idea nahi hoga options ka.

Good analysis ++1

Never go for blind gasses bros. u should b able to eliminate atleast one option . Preferably two.

reluctantaspirant

Try to mark the option which is different from other three like zero. If u don't distinguish between options, try to relate them with all your life experience, your inner conscious will guide you to go with the option.

Blind gasses may not be seen but they pinch very hard after result. Pain is real

I hadn't heard about IceCube at all until then. But in this question, I knew neutrino detectors are placed underground to prevent interference and all that.
So I took S1 and 3 as correct.
For S2, I thought "How can a telescope be placed underground?", without paying much attention to the dark matter.
As a result, I marked option C and it turned out to be incorrect.

Moral: You won't be sure whether you are using the correct line of reasoning in the exam hall or not. So educated tukkas are advisable only when you have sufficient leeway -- like you've attempted ~60-65 questions with sufficient accuracy. Blind tukkabaazi is a strict no-no.

In that NFC question last year, they had tweaked with the range of NFC, a fact. Tweaking with numbers is not unheard of then.
