For the first part i.e. prelims you need to prepare for the aptitude and the general awareness section. The aptitude section shall include questions from maths, English, reasoning etc. If you clear this then you can appear for the mains. You need to select two subjects other than English, any one of the regional subjects and also general studies. Since you are from arts background you can select subjects like geography, history, economics, psychology. You can visit the UPSC site for the details on the exam.

For IAS, one has to appear for civil services examination conducted by UPSC (Union Public Service Commission).

The selection procedure is by
-CSAT (Civil Services Aptitude Test)
-Civil Services Main Examination
-Interview

Intially you have to go through the CSAT Exam. If you are qualified in CSAT Exam, then only you will be eligible to appear for Main Examination in the optional subject which you select.

So, first put more attention to crack CSAT Exam. As far as the optional subject is concerned, you can choose the one which you are interested.

You may choose the subjects like
-Geography
-General studies

But I suggest you to choose the subject which you have more interest and which you are confident of completing the syllabus. If you choose a subject as optional subject, later if you are not interested or if it become difficult for you to understand the subject, then you will be in trobule.

So, be wise and act wisely in choosing optional subject. Don't listen to others suggestions.

Know yourself of which subject you are having good command and interest, choose the same.
