How this guide was made: Three AI outputs (execution HTML guide, book-based study system PDF, and Perplexity
platform guide) were compared without bias. Where 2 or 3 sources agreed, that recommendation was marked as
consensus and adopted. Where they disagreed, the recommendation best suited to your actual available resources
(RS Aggarwal book + Testbook Pro + Adda247 Test Prime) was chosen. No source was favoured by default.
