Telangana State Issues and Aptitude
Telangana State Issues and Aptitude
This domain tests Telangana's formation, geography, economy, agriculture, livestock programmes, and quantitative aptitude.
Core rules
- Telangana was formed on 2 June 2014 as the 29th state; Hyderabad is the capital.
- It lies on the Deccan plateau; major rivers include Godavari and Krishna; soils include red, black, and alluvial.
- Agriculture and livestock are important livelihoods; schemes support sheep, dairy, poultry, and fodder development.
- Aptitude topics: percentages, ratios, averages, time-work, profit-loss, and data interpretation.
- Read official state portals and budget documents for current schemes.
Worked example
A farmer has 120 sheep and sells 25 percent. Reasoning: 25 percent of 120 is 30. Remaining sheep are 120 minus 30, equal to 90. If each remaining sheep needs 2 kg fodder daily, daily fodder need is 180 kg. Show the percentage step before multiplying.
Traps
- Using undivided Andhra Pradesh data for Telangana.
- Confusing state formation day with other national days.
- Rounding percentages before the final step.
- Ignoring units in aptitude answers.
Exam focus
Combine state-specific facts with clean arithmetic. In aptitude, write the formula, substitute, and check units.
