For GS and Optional for Mains visit -

With respect to what are called denominations of religion, if everyone is left to be a judge of his own religion, there is no such thing as religion that is wrong; but if they are to be a judge of each other’s religion, there is no such thing as a religion that is right, and therefore all the world is right or all the world is wrong in the matter of religion.
What is the most logical assumption that can be made from the passage given above?
(a) No man can live without adhering to some religious denomination.
(b) It is the duty of everyone to propagate one’s religious denomination.
(c) Religious denominations tend to ignore the unity of man.
(d) Men do not understand their own religious denomination.

Passage - 2
It is certain, that seditions wars, and contempt or breach of the laws are not so much to be imputed to the wickedness of the subjects as to the bad state of a dominion. For men are not born fit for citizenship, but must be made so. Besides, men’s natural passions are everywhere the same; and if wickedness more prevails and more offences are committed in one commonwealth than in another, it is certain that the former has neither enough pursued the end of unity, nor framed its laws with sufficient forethought; and that, therefore, it has failed in making quite good its right as a commonwealth.
Which among the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the passage given above?
(a) Seditions, wars and breach of the laws are inevitable in every dominion.
(b) It is not the people, but the sovereign who is responsible for all the problems of any dominion.
(c) That dominion is the best which pursues the aim of unity and has laws for good
citizenship.
(d) It is impossible for men to establish a good dominion.

Passage- 3
Inequality violates a basic democratic norm: the equal standing of citizens. Equality is a relation that obtains between persons in respect of some fundamental characteristic that they share in common. Equality is, morally speaking, a default principle. Therefore, persons should not be discriminated on grounds such as race, caste, gender, ethnicity, disability, or class. These of human condition are morally irrelevant. The idea that one should treat persons with respect not only because some of these persons possess some special features or talent for example skilled cricketers, gifted musicians, or literary giants, but because persons are human beings, is by now part of common-sense morality.
With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
1. Equality is a prerequisite for people to participate in the multiple transactions of society from a position of confidence.
2. Occurrence of inequality is detrimental to the survival of democracy.
3. Equal standing of all citizens is an idea that cannot actually be realized even in a democracy.
4. Right to equality should be incorporated into our values and day-to-day political vocabulary.
Which of the above assumptions are valid?

5. In group of 120 persons, 80 are Indians and rest are foreigners. Further, 70 persons in the group can speak English. The number of Indians who can speak English is

6. Consider all 3-digit numbers (without repetition of digits) obtained using three non-zero digits which are multiples of 3. Let S be their sum.
Which of the following is/are correct?
1. S is always divisible by 74.
2. S is always divisible by 9.

Mam, I am just really bad at CSAT. I was average student in maths always had 70-75 score. In my last 2 attempts I have cleared GS paper 1 twice and have failed CSAT and this year too I have the same vibe. Paper 1 score is good but CSAT again borderline. I think I should quit prep and move on.
