Clarified “instructional takeaway” implied by the teacher

Expected-paper strategy: even if question wording differs, the teacher expects questions mostly from: - recent current affairs window (last 6 months + after Aug 25, 2025), - plus a stable layer of core GK basics.

So, the best plan is structured revision + consistent practice, not random guessing.
