📌 1. Question types
| Type | Kya poochha jata hai | Kaise solve karein |
|---|---|---|
| Main idea / Title | Passage ka central message | Pehla aur aakhri paragraph; bahut narrow ya bahut broad option chhodo |
| Fact-based | Seedhi jaankari | Keyword scan karo, line dobara padho |
| Inference | Jo likha nahi par nikalta hai | Passage se aage mat jao; jo zaroor sach ho wahi |
| Tone / Attitude | Lekhak ka bhaav | Adjectives aur linkers dekho: critical, optimistic, neutral |
| Vocabulary in context | Word ka passage mein arth | Dictionary arth nahi, context arth |
📌 2. Strategy
- Pehle questions par nazar daalo (stem only), phir passage padho — dimaag keywords dhundhta rahega.
- Har paragraph ka ek line ka summary mann mein banao.
- "Always, never, only, all" jaise extreme words wale options aksar galat hote hain.
- Apni general knowledge se answer mat do — sirf passage ke basis par.
⚠️ Exam Traps:
- Option passage ke shabd copy kare par arth badal de — ye sabse common trap hai.

Q1. Passage: Digital payments have changed the way Indians handle money. A decade ago, most small purchases were made in cash. Today, even a vegetable seller in a small town accepts payment through a QR code. The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has made transfers instant and almost free. However, the rapid growth has also brought new risks. Fraudsters trick people into sharing their PIN or clicking on fake links.
