IAS Questions

IAS is one of the toughest exams to crack. People who have studied for it, or better still, cleared it, would tell you how competitive it can get, and how tough the whole process of getting through really is.
It's nothing like giving the boards where you mug up everything and vomit it out on a paper. You actually need to an incredibly smart person here. Once you have cleared the written examination, you are called in for an interview session, so only the very best of the best make the cut.
We found 19 really quirky questions (and answers) that were asked in the two stages of the examination process. These questions don't check how well you know the subject, but how knowledgeable you really are, and how witty you can get. Check them out, see if you can solve them without checking out the answers (given at the end of the article). I instantly answered 11 out of 19, let see your scores.

Q1: How can you drop a raw egg onto a concrete floor without cracking it?

Q2: What looks like half apple?

Q3:  What will you do if I run away with your sister?

Q4:  ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) = 30
This is what you have for the equation. The following are the numbers that you can use to fill in the brackets: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15. You can repeat the numbers if required. The resulting sum should be 30.

Q5: Jamie looked at his reflection on the window mirror of the 45th floor. Driven by an irrational impulse, he made a leap through the window on the other side. Yet Jamie did not encounter even a single bruise. How can this be possible if he neither landed on a soft surface nor used a parachute?

Q6: By using only one straight line, can you make the equation correct. 5+5+5=550?

Q7: A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

Q8: Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?

Q9: This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!
Q10: What if one morning you woke up and found that you were pregnant?

Q11: Twins (Adarsh and Anupam) were born in May but their birthday is in June. How's this possible?

Q12: The peacock is a bird that does not lay eggs. How do they get baby peacocks?

Q13: If two's company, and three's a crowd, then what is four and five?

Q14: A cat had three kittens: January, March and May. What was the mother's name.

Q15:  James bond was pushed out of an airplane without any parachute. He survived. How?

Q16: If it took eight men ten hours to build a wall, how long would it take four men to build it?

Q17: How can a man go eight days without sleep?

Q18: Bay of Bengal is in which state?

Q19: Where would Lord Rama have celebrated his “First Diwali”?

Integrating your Deluxe Car

A guy is travelling in a deluxe car in the desert. He wants to take a bath. But he has no soap and there is no water.

What does he do?

He will integrate his ‘d(lux)’ car to get ‘lux + c’. Using the ‘lux’ soap he will bath in the ‘c’.

Can you murder math more than this?

Reply to Akash Mallick

To Mr Mallick,

First of all, I don’t know how to react to your message, especially after so many days. I’ll be much polite unlike you.

Your first question was, what do I think about myself? I don’t think about myself. I don’t need to think about myself. There are lots of people like you who take care of it.

You said I’m a biggest mother ******. I must say you are well experienced in it to recognize it.

You said you don’t want my ******* type of English and bullshit and nonsense sentence. Have I ever forced you?

You told me not to repeat the words from Chitresh's status. I’ll keep it in my head.

You also told me not to **** your ears, stop my mouth & keep your ***** in my mouth. I don’t think it’s a good idea.

You’ve seen my English. Those are not too much good. I completely agree with you.

Your probable second question was what is my papa's name? Sanjoy Kr Saha.

You told me to give you my father's number. I guess you were talking about my father’s phone number. It’s nine six three five zero double three double two five.

Yes I know I’m an Indian.

Do you really feel one needs dare to predict a result of any game?

Yes you’re right. My Bap is an Indian.

Sorry to disappoint you that my ma is not **** African.

Broken Collarbone

Clavicle fractures - also called simply broken collarbones - are a familiar woe to many athletes. Despite the name, the collarbone isn't really in your neck. Instead, it's one of two long, thin bones that connect the breastbone to your shoulder blades. You can feel or see your collarbones toward the top of your chest, running beneath the top of your shoulders.

So how do people get broken collarbones? Usually, it's from an accident. You might get hit or fall on your shoulder. Or you could fall on your hand or arm, and the force of impact is transferred up to the collarbone, which snaps. Clavicle fractures are often associated with bicycle falls.

Q. What Does a Broken Collarbone Feel Like?

A broken collarbone is usually pretty obvious. You might feel a crack when it happens. Afterward, you will probably have:
* Pain and swelling
* Difficulty moving your arm and shoulder
* A grinding feeling when you try to raise your arm
* Sagging in your shoulder
* A bump around the area of the break.
To diagnose a broken collarbone, your doctor will give you a thorough physical exam. You will need X-rays to confirm the break.

Q. What's the Treatment for a Broken Collarbone?

Usually, a broken collarbone will heal on its own. You just need to give it time. To help speed the healing, you might need:
* A splint or brace to keep your shoulder from moving
* A sling for your arm, which you might use for a few days
* Anti-inflammatory painkillers, like ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin which will help with pain and swelling. However, these drugs have side effects, like an increased risk of bleeding and ulcers. They should be used only occasionally unless your doctor specifically says otherwise as they may delay bone healing.
* Range-of-motion and strengthening exercises
* In rare cases - especially when ligaments are damaged - you may need surgery to mend a collarbone fracture.

Q. When Will My Broken Collarbone Feel Better?

It might take 6 to 12 weeks for a broken collarbone to heal. But that's just a rough estimate. People recover at different speeds. You are ready to return to your previous level of physical activity when:
* You can move your arm and shoulder without any pain.
* Your doctor has taken an X-ray and confirmed that the break is healed.
* Remember: don't rush back into your activities too soon. If you start working out before your collarbone is healed, you could break it again.

Silence Please

In Alaska, it is legal to shoot bears.

However, waking a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking a photograph is prohibited!

How to prove √i + √(-i) = √2

We have, √i + √(-i)

= √{ √i + √(-i) }2
= √{ i + (-i) + 2i(-i) }
= √( i - i - 2i2 )
= √(-2i2)
= √2

Simple, yet tricky.
