Sir.
For the question on Sankhya philosophy, shouldnt statement 1 be wrong as you have mentioned that all schools except Lokayata believed
on rebirth. But the first statement says that Sankhya does not believes on rebirth.

In the qestion of Indus civilization, there is not any strong evidence which can prove that they worshipped both. ie male & female deities..
only a seal related to a person in yog mudras, cant prove that they worshiped the male .

TMH General Studies Manual, Ch. History of India, Page 7
Religion: Clay figures of the mother Goddess, worshipped by the people as a symbol of fertility, have been found. A seated figure of
a male god, carved on a small stone seal, have also been found. The scene immediately brings to mind the traditional image of
Pasupati Mahadeva. In addition to these, we come across numerous symbols of the phallus and female sex organs made of stone,
which may have been objects of worship.

Sir in the questions they have given they possessed Great places and temples not great places as temples they had the
Great bath but also Graneries in certain cities like Mohan-jo-daro and Harrapa which were big hence option 1 could be right
too.

The answer to the Jain Doctrine question is also not correct.
Jaina Philosophy divides Substances (Dravya) into two types Extended and Non-extended.
The extended subtype is again broadly classified into Jiva and Ajiva. There are further sub-classifications but it is clearly stated that Ajiva
does not have soul. Only Jiva has soul.
The second statement in question is a universal statement. It says: Every object, even the smallest particle has a soul. This is an extreme
statement and would have been correct only if it had used jiva instead of object.
Also, regarding Samkhya, they fall in Orthodox group (ie. those who believe in Vedas). So, they do derive their knowledge from Vedas
which is an external source.
I hope this makes sense.

I guess when UPSC gives the answers to these , that also would be a backbreaking move.(TM)
Answer to Jain Doctrine & Annihilation of Self would be totally different.
The only crap we have to face is the waiting time.

I felt that thsi prelims gives a lot of benefit to people who go to places, are avid readers,enthusiastic travelers.
One who has gone to atleast Sanchi Stupa can make an easy guess to the answer.
Chaitya Vihara question was a cakewalk for people who have visited places of Buddhist monastery Tawang or Ajanta-Ellora.
Answers related to National Parks was also on the same lines.
