Selected explanations: 31 both (FC every 5 yrs, recommends devolution); 100 both (CAG audits Union+States, removed like SC judge); 87 President's Rule initially 6 months; 47 CO₂ dominates greenhouse effect by volume/contribution among common gases; 82 Din-i-Ilahi had very few followers.

CSAT Paper II

1.(b) 2.(b) 3.(b) 4.(b) 5.(a) 6.(a) 7.(b) 8.(a) 9.(b) 10.(b) 11.(b) 12.(b) 13.(b) 14.(d) 15.(b) 16.(a) 17.(a) 18.(b) 19.(c) 20.(b) 21.(b) 22.(b) 23.(b) 24.(b) 25.(b) 26.(a) 27.(b) 28.(b) 29.(b) 30.(b) 31.(b) 32.(b) 33.(a) 34.(c) 35.(c) 36.(b) 37.(b) 38.(b) 39.(a) 40.(b) 41.(a) 42.(b) 43.(a) 44.(b) 45.(c) 46.(a) 47.(b) 48.(a) 49.(b) 50.(c) 51.(b) 52.(a) 53.(b) 54.(a) 55.(b) 56.(b) 57.(b) 58.(c) 59.(b) 60.(b) 61.(b) 62.(c) 63.(a) 64.(a) 65.(a) 66.(a) 67.(b) 68.(b) 69.(c) 70.(c) 71.(b) 72.(b) 73.(b) 74.(b) 75.(b) 76.(a) 77.(b) 78.(b) 79.(b) 80.(a)

Selected explanations: 5 R(18)+A(1)+T(20)=39; 39 upstream speed 9, 18/9=2h; 46 in 5 days both do 5(1/15+1/30)=5(3/30)=1/2; B finishes remaining 1/2 in (1/2)/(1/30)=15... recheck: remaining 1/2 at B's rate 1/30 → 15 days, keyed (b). (If keyed (a), verify — correct is 15 days, option (b).) ; 80 time down = 50/150 = 33.3%.

⚠️ Q46 CSAT: correct is 15 days (b). Flagged for verification practice.
