Solution of today's CSAT RC PYQ.

​Statement 1 is Correct:

The passage explicitly states"If oil prices fall, output prices do not and quantities remain the same, real value added should not change."

​Statement 2 is Incorrect:

The passage says that "Most countries use a method called 'double deflation'" but points out that India uses the same deflator for inputs and outputs.

Therefore, it is not a universally adopted practice by all economies.

​Correct Answer: (a) 1 only

The biggest threat to Indian agriculture isn't climate change or failing monsoons.

​It’s a ₹1.71 LAKH CRORE government policy that is inadvertently destroying our soil.

​Welcome to 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗮𝗽.

​Here is why the system is broken and how to fix it:

​𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹
Absolute self-reliance in urea production to shield from global shocks.

​𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹 & 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀
• 𝗨𝗻𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗶𝗱𝘆: Flat-rate subsidies bloated the urea burden past ₹1.71 lakh crore this year alone.

• 𝗦𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Skewed nutrient policies created a toxic N:P:K ratio of 9.8:3:1 (recommended is 4:2:1).

• 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗩𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: High dependence on imported LNG makes up 60–80% of production costs.

​𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
• 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹:
Stop reimbursing manufacturers.
Shift to Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT) to farmers.

• 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴:
Bite the political bullet. Raise urea prices to curb over-usage.

​Agriculture needs a systemic upgrade, not a blank check.

And I will.

Can you impeach a judge who has already left office?

​𝐂𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐝:
A metaphor for a pointless, performative trial of someone who is already "gone" (has resigned).

​𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭:
Parliament cannot "impeach" a judge who has already resigned, as there is no longer an office to remove them from.

​𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐜𝐭:
A judge’s resignation is official the moment they decide to quit; it requires no outside approval.

​𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
Parliament's legal power to hold a trial ends immediately upon the judge's resignation.

​𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬: Parliament is restricted from debating judicial conduct unless actively removing a sitting judge and criminal acts by former judges should be handled by regular courts.
