VISUAL THINKING

See how a topper thinks.

Toppers think logically, see the traps, and eliminate wisely. Click the bulb icon, simply watch, and learn. Practise every question to think better.

Indian Polity / Legislature / Qualifications & Disqualifications PYQ 20251 / 42
Question 1 of 42 Learn how to think

Consider the following statements:

I. Disqualification under the 10th Schedule is decided by the President on the Council's advice.

II. The words political party are not in the Constitution.

Which of the statements above is correct?

AI only
BII only
CBoth I and II
DNeither I nor II
1SCAN"10th Schedule"
A statement question on the anti-defection law. Both claims need a check.
2DECODE"political party"
Statement I says the President decides. That feels wrong — defection is a legislative matter, not the executive's.
3EXPLAIN
Under the 10th Schedule, the Speaker or Chairman decides, not the President. Statement I is wrong.
4ELIMINATE
"Political party" does appear in the 10th Schedule itself. So Statement II is wrong too. Kill A, B and C.
5CONCLUDE"Neither I nor II"
Both statements fail. The answer is D — Neither I nor II.

"EdMe is very helpful with my current preparation. I use it for daily tests, and topic wise revision after daily classes. Now I understand how to read the question and remove wrong options. I am not just guessing answers. CSAT is also very helpful, it gives hints and adaptive questions to build confidence"

"I am totally new to UPSC, in the beginning I didn't even know how to approach a question. Visual Thinking literally showed me how toppers think, step by step. Now I attempt with some logic instead of fear. Really good for beginners like me."

"Mains I have cleared one time, but Prelims I was missing again and again. With EdMe, this attempt, I was able to focus better with Booster PYQ for static revision and Predictions for current affairs revision. The focused revision really helped me stop leaking easy marks."

"First I downloaded just to try, was not expecting much honestly. But the Visual Thinking part changed my approach fully. Earlier I used to eliminate options by guessing, now I actually see why an option is wrong. My mock scores are slowly improving. The bulb thing is a little addictive also :)"

"I came back to preparation after almost 2 years gap, syllabus was looking like a mountain again. Booster PYQ helped me revise only what matters instead of reading everything. And Predictions gave me clarity on which current affairs to focus on. Bit by bit my confidence is coming back."

"Final year is going on, internals and attendance are also there. I was worried how to manage both. But 30-40 minutes on EdMe daily is enough to keep me moving. The daily planner tells me what to do, so I don't waste time deciding from where to start. Comfortable so far."

"After job I am very tired. And earlier my full time was wasted on searching notes and pdf's here and there. EdMe has all PYQs in one place. Saved my time. Also, earlier I used to spend a lot of time researching all related themes on each PYQ, which Booster PYQ made easier, it is very helpful"

"After 9 hours of office my brain is too tired to read long notes. EdMe's daily test is quick and keeps me in touch. Current affairs is summarised in a connected way, so even with my job I don't feel out of sync. Only wish is I had found this earlier."

"Being a working mother, time is my biggest problem. The current affairs in EdMe is short and everything is connected, so I don't have to read the full newspaper daily. 20 minutes in the morning and I feel updated. Honestly a blessing for people with very less time."
