Pranam Those who have read the above Qs and especially Q 12 would have become fit to write the IAS exam . It is unknown who frames in such a manner questions of that kind?. Did India give any barren land in 1947 as Pakistan?. Can any elders say about it?. we were not duryodhana. Does Mass bend space and time?. Why does the earth only even SUN of the earth? ( every planet has SUNS and many SUNs ). Neither knew Einstein nor understood the answer of someone, exactly what does he mean but straight away rolled out filling few more lines. KR IRS 241021
