Cut os for APFC 2012
Ok here goes the UnOcial Answerkey for APFC 2012 with explanation and references for
all series A, B,C and D.
1. Ive tried to solve the questions from standard reference sources (NCERT, India
Yearbook, M.Laxmikanth, GS Manual etc) and resorted to Wikipedia/googling only as last
resort.
2. Where the source is not mentioned- assume that answer was too obvious or obtained
through googling.
3. Some answers are debatable; Ive mentioned it at respective places and therefore I dont
make claim that mine is 100% authentic answerkey.
4. For the aptitude questions, only answer and hints are given, full calculation and
concepts will be explained in future youtube videos.

mainly by :
(a) Biological activity
(b) Landforms
(c) Climate
(d) Soil
A biome is a plant and animal community that covers a large geographical area. The
boundaries of dierent biomes on land are determined mainly by climate.

(d) 1, 2, 3 and 4
See the Index of Biodiversity Action Draft Plan (PDF Uploaded here
http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/les/National_Biodiversity_Action_Plan.pdf)
As you can see in its index, rst three terms are threats to Biodiversity.
And 4th statement either too stupid or too controversial. So my take is Option (A)
4. Vultures, which were very common in our countryside a few years ago, are rarely seen
nowadays. This is attributed to one of the Following :
(a) Destruction of their nesting sites by new invasive species
(b) A drug used by cattle owners for treating their diseased cattle
(c) Scarcity of food available to them
(d) A widespread, persistent and fatal disease amongst them
Lolz Answer (B) This is becoming very clichd question. We discussed this already
http://mrunal.org/2012/03/enb-biodiversity-meaning-and-types-of.html#diclo
Diclofenac is a painkiller medicine used mostly for arthritis in humans
Veternary Diclofenac is used on cattle, as painkiller, stopping inammation and fever.
When Animals are treated with Diclofenac, this drug keeps accumulating in their body.
When these animals die, Vultures eat them = kidney failure =death of vulture.
Hence Government of India banned Veternary Diclofenac. Now farmers have to use other
expensive drugs instead of Diclofenac.

controversy because he claimed that other team members did not like Dravids success. So
we eliminate (A) and (C).
Steve Waugh and Nasser Hussain were captains of Australia and England respective, so
most likely to be attached with Ashes tournament.
so Book (B) matches with (1). Hence Option (D) is correct.

(d) 1 2 4 3
Now comes the controversial question.
Jim Yong Kim = President of the World Bank. He is the rst physician and Asian-American to
head World Bank. Given in same Competitionmaster article link above.
So Eliminate (A) and (C)
We are left with (B) and (D)
Christine Lagarde is the MD of IMF. So (C) should match with (3)
Catherine Day is current Secretary-General of the European Commission so (D) should
match with (4)
But there is no such option.
May be the examiner setup this question while watching Tarak Mehta kaa Ooltaa Chashma.
Ill have to ask UPSC in RTI what theyre going to do about this.
Economy
1. Despite having huge coal reserve in OUT country, why do we import millions of tons of
coal?
1. It is policy of Govt. of India to save its own coal reserve for future use and import now
from other countries for present use.
2. Most of the thermal plants in our country are coal based and they are unable to gel
sucient coal supply from our coal mines.
3. Steel plants require large quantities of coking coal which we do not have, coking coal is
to be imported from other countries.
(a) 1, 2 and 3
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 2 only
(d) 1 and 3 only
Answer (b)
Statement (1) doesnt make sense.
Statement (2) is correct, because otherwise there was no need to create Fuel Supply
Agreement (FSA) (i.e. Government asked Coal India to sign Fuel Sharing agreements with
various clients to provide sucient coal at required time)
Statement (3) is correct because The HinduIn a move to reduce dependence on highly
priced Australian coking coal, India will acquire a mine in Mongolia and also set up the rst
steel plant in the quality coal rich country.
Chairman of Steel Authority of India (SAIL) told media that Mongolia has very good quality
of coking coal mines. We do not have such quality coal mines ourselves
http://www.thehindu.com/business/Economy/article3404225.ece
2. Which of the following statements is true about Industrial Policy since 1991?
(a) Only 5 industrial related to security, strategic and environmental concerns require
Industrial License.
(b) An investor need not le an industrial entrepreneur Memorendum.
(c) There is no reservation of products for production in small scale sectors.
(d) The number of industries reserved for public sector has been enhanced.
Statement A is true- now only 5 industries require Industrial license, viz
Distillation and brewing of alcoholic drinks
Cigars and cigarettes made from tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes
Electronic aerospace and defense equipment: all types
Industrial explosives including detonating fuses, safety fuses, gun powder, nitrocellulose
and matches
Hazardous chemicals such as hydrocyanic acid and its derivatives, phosgene and its
derivatives, and isocyanates and diisocyanates of hydrocarbon, not specied elsewhere
(example Methyl isocyanate)

3. The newly introduced rupee symbol is based on
(a) Roman and Greek script
(b) Persian and Dravidian script
(c) Roam and Devanagari script
(d) Greek and Devanagari script
The new Indian Rupee symbol is an amalgam of the Devnagiri Ra and the Roman capital R
http://www.competitionmaster.com/ArticleDetail.aspx?ID=bfc7ad4d-6e6a-43b1-b770fa3c8abb002c
4. Which one of the following expresses the relation between normal price and market
price?
(a) Market price is greater than normal price
(b) Market price is equal to normal price
(c) Market price tends to be equal to normal price
(d) Market price is lesser than normal price
Answer (C)
Market Price = current price at which an asset or service can be bought or sold. Economic
theory contends that the market price converges at a point where the forces of supply and
demand meet.
normal price =represents stable equilibrium between long-run demand and supply
established after the supply has fully adjusted itself to the changed demand.
Market price can be higher or lower than the normal price. In fact, it tends to oscillate
around the normal price and tends to be equal to it.
Market price is a reality as the day-to-day transactions do take place at this price, whereas
the normal price is a Utopian concept.
http://mywhatis.com/distinctions-between-market-price-and-normal-price/
Although NCERT Class 12 Microeconomics Chapter 4, too talks about Market Price but it
goes in to too much technical details.
5. Bancassurance is
(a) An insurance scheme to insure bank deposits
(b) An insurance scheme exclusively for bank employees
(c) A composite nancial service oering both bank and insurance products
(d) A bank deposit scheme exclusively for employees of insurance companies
Investopedia: A French term referring to the selling of insurance through a banks
established distribution channels, known as a Bancassurer. The result is a bank that can
oer banking, insurance, lending, and investment products to a customer.
Option (C) comes close to this meaning.
6. Ination can be controlled by
(a) Increase in wages
(b) Decrease in taxation
(c) Reduction in public expenditure
(d) Making the rupee dearer
They should have said what type of ination it is (Cost push or Demand pull).
Otherwise answer will be debatable.
Anyways my take: given the options, RBI can make rupee dearer (i.e. hard to get loans) by
increasing Repo Rate and thus reduce liquidity (money available for loan) in the market. So
Option (D)
Increase in wages = rst it is hard to achieve, Government can increase the wages of its
employees by increase the Dearness Allowence (DA), but what about the private sector
employees and the unorganized sector workers.
Decrease In taxation= again hard to do because Government would need to get it approved
in parliament.
Reduction in public expenditure = debatable.
Marking Rupee Dearer = RBI can do this quick and easy under its monetary policy powers.
This is the rst line of defence, and RBI has been doing it last year.
7. Which of the following can be termed an infrastructural bottleneck in the development of
Indias economy ?
(a) The federal nature of Indian Polity.
(b) Existence of a large variety of nancial institutions
(c) Delay in the administration of justice relating to land acquisition and displacement
(d) The volatility of the Indian rupee
Indian Economys biggest bottleneck is UPA Government, but since this question is asking
about Infrastructural Bottleneck.
So rst what is infrastructure? Roads, highways, seaports, airports, railways, telephone
connectivity, powerplants.
Each has its own peculiar bottlenecks for example: telephone=2G scam and licence
removal. Powerplants= coal supply and so on. But Out of the given options:
According to this IGNOU pdf
http://www.egyankosh.ac.in/bitstream/123456789/34932/1/Unit3.pdf
Some other factors pose challenges for the sector (Highways). These involve land
acquisition, encroachment on highways, environmental and forest clearances, shifting of
utilities, railway approvals for rail over bridges, local law and order problems, poor
performance by some contractors, etc.
I pick up (C)
8. It is said that. in order to control ination, foreign inow needs to be sterilized.
Sterilization here refers to
(a) Ensuring that counterfeit currency does not enter circulation,
(b) Ensuring that black money is accounted for,
(c) Withdrawing equivalent local currency to maintain a desirable rate of exchange,
(d) Compliance with import-export regulations,
Sterilization is most often used in the context of a central bank that takes actions to negate
potentially harmful impacts of capital inows such as currency appreciation and ination
both of which can reduce export competitiveness.
To prevent this, the countrys central bank may decide to intervene in the foreign exchange
market. To prop up the value of the nations currency, the central bank may resort to
creating articial demand for its currency. It can do this by using some of its foreign
exchange reserves to buy local currency.
So, Answer is (C)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_%28economics%29
9. NABARD means
(a) National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development
(b) National Agricultural Bank and Rural Development
(c) National Agricultural Board and Rural Development
(d) National Board for Agricultural and Rural Area Development

NABARD = National Bank for Agri and Rural Development. For more details
http://mrunal.org/2012/04/economy-regional-rural-banks-vs.html
10. Which of the following are the main causes of the slow rate of growth of per capita
income in India?
1. High rate of capital formation
2. High level of scal decits
3. High rate of growth of population
(a) 1, 2 and 3
(b) 1 and 2 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) 2 and 3 only
The answer is only one: UPA Government, but it is not given in the options.
Generally, the higher the capital formation of an economy, the faster an economy can grow
its aggregate income. Increasing an economys capital stock also increases its capacity for
production, which means an economy can produce more. Producing more goods and
services can lead to an increase in national income levels.
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capital-formation.asp
So High Rate of Capital formation is not cause of poor per capita income. Hence remove
options containing statement (1).
A,B,C are eliminated.
we are left with answer (D)
11. If the RBI adopts an expansionist open market operations policy, this means it will
(a) Sell securities in the open market.
(b) Buy securities from non-government holders.
(c) Openly announce to the market that it intends to expand credit.
(d) Oer commercial banks more credit in the open marker
Expansionary monetary policy is monetary policy that seeks to increase the size of the
money supply.
Open Market operation = The buying and selling of government securities in the open
market in order to expand or contract the amount of money in the banking system.
Purchases inject money into the banking system and stimulate growth while sales of
securities do the opposite.
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/openmarketoperations.asp
So, if RBI wants to increase money supply, it should buy (purchase) bonds from nonGovernment holders (that way RBI will give them money for purchase, hence money supply
is increased).
Answer (B)
12. Structural Planning refers to .
(a) Centralized planning,
(b) Laying down broad goals and strategics.
(c) Changing existing institutions or creating new ones.
(d) Fixing exible targets.
The planning which is aimed at bringing changes in socioeconomic set-up of a country is
termed as structural planning. This type of planning is attributed to the planning which was
made in USSR in 1929 when the existing land-lord-system was abolished, collective farming
was introduced, trade, industries and transport system was nationalized.
Answer (C) According to www.scribd.com/doc/9893431/Types-of-Economic-Planning
13. Which of the following is NOT one of the features of the Special Economic Zones (SEZ)
being set up for promoting exports ?
(a) Foreign workers will be allowed free entry without Visa restrictions.
(b) The SEZ area will be treated as foreign territory for trade operations, duties and tari.
(c) Them will be no routine examination by customs authorities of import-export cargo.
(d) No license is required for import into the zone.
The salient features of SEZ acts are given in the India Yearbook, Commerce Chapter.
So, Accordingly, Statement B,C and D are correct. So A has to be the false statement.
Answer (A)
14. Match the Following
1. D.M Dharmadhikari
1. National Corporate Governance
2. Anil Kakodkar

of you (you) people are keen to act and learn on their own rather
So young people have impatience= they lack patience.
Answer (C)
3. The author seems to be supportive of the idea that
(a) the people of the older generation are men of words rather than action.
(b) the younger generation is impatient
(c) the younger generation today is much misunderstood and more maligned than it
deserves
(d) none of the above
Debatable between (B) and (C).
I leave Opt A because
The phrase Men of words rather than action has an insulting tone, while the Author is
merely saying that ..older people, being more at home with words rather than with
action (say certain things about youth. (Sentence 4). His aim is not to insult the old. So
Author woudnt agree to the idea of statement A.
I leave Opt B because
Younger generation is impatient (Sentence 3). But Theyre asking author seems to be
supportive of the idea so that is not an idea, merely a restatement of what author said in
sentence 3.
I pick Opt C because
Look at Sentence 4+6:
(Old men) often make noises about the problems of youth.(but)in all ages, whenever
they have pondered over the ways of youth, they have foreseen nothing but ruination
(downfall) staring the world in its face.
Following the hidden message in those lines, Author would support the idea that the
younger generation today is much misunderstood and more maligned than it deserves.
4. And yet the world goes onwhat is the tone of the author in this statement?
(a) Optimistic
(b) Pessimistic
(c) Cynical
(d) Critical
Debatable.
I leave D because
Critical means nding only errors and aws- Saala Buddha log bahut lecture detaa hai,
they should change their habit. Thats not the tone of Author. He has tried to be
balanced : look @ Sentence 1,2 and 3.
I leave C because
Cynical is when we believe things wont change and we make mockery/fun of it (like I do
with Mohan whaat an idea sir-ji). But Thats not the tone of Author. He is not making
fun of anyone or ridiculing anyone, in any of the sentences.
I leave A because
Optimistic means Expecting or presenting the best possible outcome- it Buddha log
bahut lecture detaa hai, but I hope in future the Buddha log will work with youth and or
Youth will stop wasting time on facebook and or Buddha log will stop whining about
youth. But Thats not what author says, implies or seeks anywhere in the passage.
Besides Yet world goes on (r bhi dunia chalti hai) itself is a non-optimistic phrase.
I pick B because
Pessimistic is close to cynical but there is dierence. Cynic feels that things wont change
and makes fun of it. Pessimist feels that things wont change, but thats all- he doesnt
make fun of it.
Look @sentence 6 .. in all ages, whenever they (old men) have pondered over the
ways of youth, they have foreseen ruination (downfall).
Look @Sentence 8= Every generation passes from the youth to old age, and then yields
place to the next (generation)
So this is pessimistic. In every generation there will be Buddha log bashing the young,
but then young people grow old, they also bash the new young people from next
generation, and thus the world goes on.

NCERT Class 12 Geography (Land and People) Chapter 5,
Page 51: Cotton: . Per hectare output of cotton is high under irrigated conditions in northwestern region of the country. Its yield is very low in Maharashtra where it is grown under

Some aspirants had misconception that since APFC syllabus did not specically mention
geography so there was no need to prepare Geography. Well let this be a lessonwhenever you prepare for General studies or General Awareness or General Knowledge,
Geography is must.

(a) 1 only
(b) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2
(d) Neither 1 nor 2
Refer to NCERT Class 8 History Chapter 1
The practice of surveying also became common under the colonial administration. The
British believed that a country had to be properly known before it could be eectively
administered.
By the early nineteenth century detailed surveys were being carried out to map the entire
country.
In the villages, revenue surveys were conducted. The eort was to know the topography, the
soil
quality, the ora, the fauna, the local histories, and the cropping pattern all the facts seen

Mughals did give monetary support to artistic and cultural endeavors.
In Mughal empire, majority were Hindus.
So A,C and D are false.

We are left with Answer Option (B)
Further wiki-ing conrms that
The Mughals introduced in India the system of gunre shot from cannons and Ottomans
were some of the rst to embrace gunpowder artillery.
The Mughal administrative system had at its apex a military-cum-bureaucratic apparatus

Wordweb Software Dictionary (Free) says primogeniture = Right of inheritance belongs
exclusively to the eldest son.

declined because of this Primogeniture rule (because it results in ghting between brothers
to claim the throne.)
Answer (B)

documents from the Mughal court.
So Answer is (C)

against the oppressive plantation system.
2. Then in 1917, he organised a satyagraha to support the peasants of the Kheda district of
Gujarat.
3. In 1918, Mahatma Gandhi went to Ahmedabad to organise a satyagraha movement
amongst cotton mill workers
4. Emboldened with this success, Gandhiji in 1919 decided to launch a nationwide
satyagraha against the proposed Rowlatt Act (1919)
So Sequence is Champa>Kheda>Abad>Rowlatt
3,2,4,1 = Answer (C). Some friends are saying Champa>Abad>Kheda>Rowlett, citing other
reliable sources. But Ive picked up C, because it is given in the NCERT Class 10 Textbook.

It also says The Act has now become The Employees Compensation Act, 1923 by the
Workmens Compensation (Amendment) Act, 2009 dated the 23 December, 2009
Therefore Statement B is True.
6. Which of the following legislations is comprehensive social security legislation?
(a) The Maternity Benet Act
(b) The Employees State Insurance Act
(c) The Employees Compensation Act
(d) The Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act
Answer-
Comprehensive means it should cover many things.

Maternity covers only Maternity. So A is false
Employers State Insurance= only helps in sickness, maternity and employment injury
and pension for dependents IF the case is dealing with employment related injury. So
B is false.
Employees Compensation Act= this is the new name of minimum wages act, hence its
only minimum wages, not really comprehensive social security. (Source: India Yearbook
Chapter on Labour.)
Employees Provident Funds and Misc. Provisions Act=provident funds, family pension
funds and deposit linked insurance. These schemes taken together provide to the
employees an old age and survivorship benets, a long term protection and security to
the employee and after his death to his family members, advances during sickness and
for the purchase/ construction of a house during the period of membership.

Either (A) or (D) [Debatable]
Polity
1. Statement (I) Every State in India has a High Court in its (States) territory.
Statement (II) = As per constitution of India, each State is provided to have a High Court.
1st Statement is wrong because Not all North Eastern States have their separate high
courts. Besides Punjab + Haryana have common high court. (refer to table given @the end
of Laxmikanths chapter on High courts)
Art. 214 of Constitution =There shall be a high court in Each State =2nd statement is correct.
So 1 is false and 2 is true = Option (D)
(http://www.ipkart.com/searchbook?

Refer Article 151, Part 5, Constitution of India.
http://www.constitution.org/cons/india/p05151.html
or
Laxmikanth Chapter on CAG -> Duties and Powers.
Hence, Statement 1 is false because it says CAG gives State reports to President.
So, eliminate all options containing statement 1. = A,B and D are eliminated.
And we are left with answer (C)
Science
1. For calculating Body Mass Index (BMI), weight of the person (in kg) is divided by the
(a) Square of the weight (in kg)
(b) Square of the height (in meters)
(c) Square root of the height (in meters)
(d) Vitamins intake

Answer: (b)
.One way to nd out if adults are undernourished is to calculate what nutrition scientists
call Body Mass Index (BMI). This is easy to calculate. Take the weight of the person in kg.
Then take the height in metres. Divide the weight by the square of the height.

2. Gun metal is an alloy of
(a) Copper, Tin and Zinc
(b) Aluminium. Tin and Steel
(c) Copper, Steel and Zinc,
(d) Aluminium, Tin and Zinc
Answer (A)
Gun Metal is Copper, Zinc and Tin. (googled)
3. If the electrical resistance of a typical substance suddenly drops to zero, then the
substance is called
(a) Semiconductor
(b) Conductor
(c) Superconductor
(d) Super semiconductor
It is super-conductor.
Question repeated from NDA exam taken in 2011.
Wordweb Software Dictionary: Superconductor= A material that has no electric resistance
(at a certain temperature)
Also explained somewhere in NCERT science but cant locate it right now.
Answer (C)
4. The material used for electric fuse is an alloy of tin and lead. This alloy should have:
a. High specic resistance and low melting point
b. Low specic resistance and high melting point.
c. Low specic resistance and low melting point,
d. High specic resistance and high melting point
A fuse wire should have low melting point, otherwise itll never melt even if there is
overload! [For making bulb, itd be reverse- need high melting point] So eliminate (B) and (D)
The main object of using fuse wire in electric circuit is to provide protection against short
circuit or overload current. This means it protects the circuit from huge amount of current
ow as it cause the damage to the circuit.
The fuse wire select such a way that it burns and break the circuit when large current
passes. For this purpose the material used as fuse wire should have high resistance
and low melting point.Due to high resistance the wire heats up quickly, when huge
current ows. The temperature around the fuse wire rapidly rises, when it reaches the
melting point of the material it burns and protects the circuits.
High resistance and low melting point are responsible to the quick response of the fuse wire
towards the current.
The common material used as fuse wire is an alloy of tin and lead.
http://www.indiabix.com/general-knowledge/basic-general-knowledge/discussion-363
Answer (A) (Wikipedia talks about low resistance, but Ive picked up high resistance, because
of above explanation.)
Besides, here is another source that pretty much sums up the whole thing:
fuse wire is made from an alloy which as a low melting point but high specic resistance. e.g
usually a tin-lead alloy is used. -Page 210 of Numerical Physics Volume II, By Dr. P. K.
Agrawal (Krishna Prakashan)
http://books.google.co.in/books?id=H9NcfkN1YaUC&pg=SA2-PA10&lpg=SA2PA10&dq=tin+lead+fuse+high+specic+resistance&source=bl&ots=Ify4DBcW1z&sig=qWzJKFzVYEOIdQpc-RaDbMKIL0&hl=en
5. Statement (I) In order to produce electric power from a geothermal reservoir,

Option (a). (OR debatable, because hard to locate a reliable source)
Both correct, and 2 explains 1- based on interpretation of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_electricity#Flash_steam_power_plants
But this wiki article segment talks about merely one type of ash steam power plant.
6. The word FTP stands for

3. Provide for wage loss due to pregnancy and connement
(a) 1 and 2 only
(b) 1 and 3 only
(c) 2 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
For Wage loss during Pregnancy there is separate scheme called Indira Gandhi Matritva
Sahyog Yojana(IGMSY) (Source: India Yearbook Chapter on Welfare.)
So statement 3 is false. Eliminate the options containing Statement (3), and we are left with
nal answer (A)
2. Which of the following is the earliest in be constituted ?
(a) Press Council of India (1966)
(b) United News of India (1961)
(c) NAM News Network (2005)

7. Three States which have Human Development Index (HDI) higher than China are :
(a) Kerala. Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh
(b) Kerala. Punjab and Maharashtra
(c) Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab
(d) Kerala, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat
If we apply the common-sense that Chinas HDI is higher than India and Madhya Pradesh is
the baddest state of India, in terms of HDI

then every option containing Madhya Pradess HDI is usually very low. So A,C and D are
gone and we are left with only Answer (B)
But here is the twist in this storyEconomic Survey 2012, Chapter 13- Human Development, Page 303
the HDI of China for 2011 = 0.687
And HDI for various states of India for 2011, are given on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_states_and_territories_by_Human_Development_In
So accordingly, Maharashtra and Gujarat have HDI are in the range of 0.5 something.
So eliminate all options having Maharashtra OR Gujarat.
And were left with no option!
(If we go by that wikipage, then It is Kerala, Himachal Pradesh and Goa= have higher than
China HDI but no such option is given.)

3. By supplying seeds, fertilizers, diesel pump-sets and micro irrigation equipment free of
cost to farmers.
(a) 1,2 and 3
(b) 2 only
(c) 3 only
(d) 1 only
Refer to Economic Survey 2012, Chapter 13: Human Development.
http://mrunal.org/2012/03/economy-economic-survey-2012.html
The Salient features of NRLM are given on On page 314 and 315.
Accordingly, Only statement 2 is correct.
Lessons for future

1. If you felt uncomfortable with the aptitude and English (comprehension and vocabulary)
questions that means you denitely need to work harder on those topics, for next
exams. (IBPS, SSC, CPF, CSAT whatever is the your case)
2. Some people believed that Geography was not to be prepared because UPSC APFC
syllabus did not mention Geography. Well, 2 questions from geography and directly
from NCERT Geography textbooks. So, whenever there is General knowledge / General
studies= Geography must be prepared whether it is mentioned explicitly in the syllabus
or not.
3. Stick to standard reference books and revise them often.
4. Negative marking can be both a dream-killer and a kingmaker, whether youre sitting in
UPSC, IBPS or CAT. Never force yourself into ticking answers just to cross an imaginary
cuto.
Cut os for APFC 2012

There are two types of people in competition business.
1. The serious players.
2. The Lord Curzons those who ll up the form just because their papa said (JBPS). After
the exam, Lord Curzons throw away their question papers and misplace their halltickets.
If you landed on this page- it means you were interested in seeing the answerkeys and
checking your scores= That means youre a serious player, and hence one day youll face the
interview board- if not of APFC then of RBI, UPSC, IIM, SSC, State PSC, Bank -whatever is
written in your destiny.
So, you should prepare for the interview, irrespective of how your paper went. Because
some interview questions are one and same irrespective of job1. Questions on your graduation eld and hobbies [maintain a diary on this]
2. Socio-political-economic-cultural-geographical prole of your city, district and State. [dig
google and maintain a le on this- otherwise itll be very cumbersome to prepare it
within 10-12 days before the interview]
3. The current aairs and your opinion on them. (FDI, Diesel price etc.) [this is a continuous
process]
All the best.

Tumhari aukat to nahi lagti 80+ banane ki . At least 5 questions
confusing hain . Tumko jab sahi answer hi nahi malun to marks
kaise calculate kar rahe ho ? Agar dam hai to apne saare answers
yahan likho . Likhane ke 10 minutes ke andar tumko malun chal
jayega ki tumhara marks kitna hai aur cut-o kitna jayega .Par tum
aisa nahi karoge !!! .
80+ impossible nahi hai par jis tarah se tum 2 months ke baad Nark
se nikal kar hosh me aa rahe ho usase question khada ho raha hai .
Ya phir ye bhi ho sakta hai ki ALLAH MEHARBAN TO GADHA

Rishi ji ! I had no such intention as you think. mrunal sir k
answer se aur kuch apne se evaluate kiya tha tou aisa hi
score aa raha hai. But at the same time I do agree that I
might (possibly) go wrong according to some other
competing answers available in the market. Jahan tak answer
list post karne k baat hai, aap bilkul sahi hain q k am not
going to do dat. I was just wondering ki result itna late q ho
raha hai.. UPSC normally do dhai mahine me written result
out kar deta hai. anyways thanks for your candid reply. best

Hi,friends. When the result is going to be declared? Im in gen catagory.As
per Mrunal sir,s answer keys my score is 82.What is expected cut o? In
civil service U.P.S.C doesnt declares cut-o. What about APFC? Is
weightage 50:50.That is if cut is 70 then weightage in Interveiw will also
be 70,I guess.So nal cut for gen cat may be 140.Plse give authentic extra
ifo.
&
anonymous
2 contradictory points in your postyour score is 82..agree
and then you are saying if cuto is 70 then interview weightage will
also be 70..how can you say that?

impossible..anyway all d best..

D.K.AWASTHI
apfc ke exam me maine 90 attempt kiye thhey aur mujhe lag raha tha ki
mere kam se kam 80 sahi hone chahiye, lekin baad me kat kat ke sirf 65
reh gaye. aur abhi isme bhi 2-4 galat ho sakte hain. paper dikhne me
aasan thaa per vasatava men bahut confusing thha. general category me
jo 70 kar diye honge woh bahut achche honge padhne men. mujhe lag
raha hai general ke liye 65 bahut achchha score hai. jo log apna score 80
bata rahen hain unhone sayad exam ke baad phir kabhi apne answers ko
kahin se bhi milane ki kosis nahi ki hogi. even har competition magazine
me answers bahut vary kar rahen hain. kuchh aap log bhi detail mein
bataiye.

Bhai Awasthi ji. ye saare 90 wale 65 pe aa gaye hainaap
pareshaan mat hona..
ye jitne v hain 85 plus wale wo bachpan se sirf isi exam ki tayyari

kar rahe the.. so apna competition unse nahi hai..theek!!
Waise UPSC ko bahut chhota karke aank rahe hain bhai log.. Result
would denitely be shocking for many.. so bas kuch dino ki hi baat
hai..
Ye English section , khas kar 1st passage kai jhatke dega jo ye
sochkar baithe hain ki unhi ka sahi hai..UPSC ke answers birle hi
honge.. tab tak just is blog ka maza lene do bhai logon ko..
