Correct answer: (D) 3 & 5 only — The services that do not come under the All India Services are the Indian Foreign Service and the Indian Custom Service, so the answer is 3 & 5 only.
Explanation
★The services that do not come under the All India Services are the Indian Foreign Service and the Indian Custom Service, so the answer is 3 & 5 only.
★The All India Services are only three: the Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service, and Indian Forest Service.
★These three serve both the Union and the States under a shared cadre system.
★The Indian Foreign Service is a Central Civil Service under the Ministry of External Affairs, handling diplomacy.
★The Indian Customs Service is also a Central Civil Service, working under the Department of Revenue.
★Because both these belong to the central services, they fall outside the All India Services.
★Statements 1, 2 and 4 name the genuine All India Services and so are excluded from the answer.
