Considering the alarming importance of CSAT in UPSC CSE Prelims exam and with enormous requests we received recently, InsightsIAS has started Daily CSAT Test to ensure students practice CSAT Questions on a daily basis. Regular Practice would help one overcome the fear of CSAT too.We are naming this initiative as Insta– DART – Daily Aptitude and Reasoning Test. We hope you will be able to use DART to hit bull’s eye in CSAT paper and comfortably score 100+ even in the most difficult question paper that UPSC can give you in CSP-2021. Your peace of mind after every step of this exam is very important for us.
Looking forward to your enthusiastic participation (both in sending us questions and solving them on daily basis on this portal).

Question 1 of 5
1. Question
With increasing participation in international education and professional networks, many Indian students and workers spend extended periods in foreign countries. During this time, they interact with different legal systems, social norms, and institutional arrangements. Their academic and professional experiences are shaped by access to training facilities, workplace regulations, and support services in host societies.
At the same time, variations in immigration policies, employment practices, and crisis-management mechanisms influence their security and well-being. In periods of health emergencies, economic disruptions, or diplomatic tensions, these differences become more visible. Patterns of cooperation between home and host institutions affect how such situations are addressed.
Which one of the following statements best reflects the most logical and rational message conveyed by the author of the passage?
Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
Option (b) is correct.
The passage refers to access to training and experience (opportunities) and also mentions legal systems, policies, and crisis mechanisms (constraints). This reflects both dimensions.Option (a) is incorrect because benefits to host countries are not discussed.
Option (c) is incorrect as cooperation between home and host institutions is mentioned.
Option (d) is incorrect because national systems continue to influence experiences.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
- Human vulnerability is subject to change over time.
- Policy frameworks that recognise shifting conditions may better correspond to lived realities.
Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
Assumption 1 is valid.
The passage refers to illness, displacement, crop failure, and changing fortunes.Assumption 2 is valid.
The idea that vulnerability forms a shifting frontier implies the relevance of adaptive recognition.Hence, both assumptions logically follow.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
If the 8-digit number x789y36z is divisible by 72, what is the least possible value of (x + y)² + z²?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
Divisible by 8 ⇒ last three digits 36z divisible by 8.
360 is divisible by 8, so z = 0 or 8.To minimize, try z = 0.
Divisible by 9 ⇒ digit sum divisible by 9:
Sum = x+7+8+9+y+3+6+0 = x+y+3333 is 3 less than 36 (and 36 is divisible by 9), so x+y = 3.
Minimum value = 3² + 0² = 9.Incorrect
Answer: (a)

Divisible by 8 ⇒ last three digits 36z divisible by 8.
360 is divisible by 8, so z = 0 or 8.To minimize, try z = 0.
Divisible by 9 ⇒ digit sum divisible by 9:
Sum = x+7+8+9+y+3+6+0 = x+y+3333 is 3 less than 36 (and 36 is divisible by 9), so x+y = 3.
Minimum value = 3² + 0² = 9.
