Questions
1. Direction: In Asimov’s science fiction writing, he is perhaps most well-known for his Three Laws of
Robotics: “1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to
harm. 2) A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would
conflict with the First Law. 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not
conflict with the First or Second Laws.”
I, Robot, a short story collection published in 1950, is one of Asimov’s most famous works. He wrote
several novels and short stories exploring the interaction between humans and robots, stories that should
receive renewed interest with the advent of artificial intelligence. His short story “Robot Dreams” may be
the scariest science fiction story ever written. Asimov’s Foundation series of 7 novels introduced the
concept of psychohistory, an attempt to predict the future using a combination of sociology and
mathematics.
Isaac Asimov’s legacy includes many books that readers enjoy for both their style and insights. If Isaac
Asimov’s family had not immigrated to America, Asimov speculated he would have died as a Soviet soldier
during World War II. In the days of socialist realism, where literature was meant to serve state and party
interests, it is almost certain Soviet authorities would never have allowed Isaac Asimov to publish science
fiction stories, or at least any of the ones he published in America.
In his three-book “Galactic Empire” series, his characters argue strongly for self-determination and against
allowing a bigger entity to dictate how people in a smaller land should live their lives. Given Soviet
domination of Eastern Europe after World War II, stories employing those themes would have earned
Asimov, at minimum, a stay in Siberia.
“He was very much an American and appreciated our country’s freedoms,” said Sheila Williams. “He was
very sympathetic to the underdog, to small business owners, and thought America was a great place
because it allowed people of all backgrounds to contribute to the nation.”
In works such as The End of Eternity and The Stars, Like Dust, Asimov came down firmly on the side of
human liberty and the freedoms embodied in the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Isaac Asimov

47. Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
What good would a gathering of literary types be if it did not coincide with a little acrimony and rancour?
South Asia's largest book festival is under way in Jaipur, Rajasthan, a five-hour drive (if you're lucky) from
Delhi. From January 21st to the 25th, a couple of hundred authors, tens of thousands of book-lovers, and
a few Nobel laureates cram the lawns of the Diggi Palace in the Pink City.
The annual Jaipur Literature Festival is now big enough—32,000 attended last year; this year, the tally will
be much higher—that there should be no need for anyone to stir up controversy to get attention.
Nonetheless, shortly before the event, Hartosh Singh Bal, an (Indian) editor of a local magazine, accused
William Dalrymple, a (British) writer who co-directs the festival, of being "pompous" and setting himself up
as an arbiter of writers' taste in the country.
Stung, Mr Dalrymple accused Mr Bal, in turn, of racism. A flurry of angry commentary has followed in the
Indian press and beyond, along with a discussion of whether or why Indian writers crave foreign approval,
especially from Brits.
The festival itself has featured another brewing controversy. Some of the delegates, including Orhan
Pamuk, a Turkish Nobel laureate, and Kiran Desai, an Indian Booker prize winner, had plans to travel
afterwards to another literary event, the Galle Festival, in Sri Lanka. Claiming visa problems, a few
suddenly announced they were pulling out. But the snag may be more political than bureaucratic. Sri
Lanka's government rules with a heavy hand, especially over the Tamil minority, and several journalists
and human-rights activists have been killed or attacked in recent years. The writers had been criticised by
activists for considering a visit to Sri Lanka at all.
Back in Jaipur, the event appears to go from success to success. The festival takes place in the heart of
the city and remains free to all, which matters if locals, including schoolchildren, are to be involved. But as
the crowds and programme grow, the venue is straining to its breaking point, and the nature of the event is
changing. Those who experienced the intimacy of the earliest years lament that it is now impossible to
have conversations with their favourite writers.
The authors, too, may bemoan the festival's increasingly unwieldy size. Junot Diaz, a witty and thoughtful
commentator on the migrants in America, used one session to blame capitalism for encouraging writers to
pursue their work not because they have something important to say but for the sake of getting approval
from the largest audience possible. ‘We know that we need less applause and more conversations,’ he
told a packed room. Promptly—inevitably—the audience clapped.
The passage primarily intends to:

A. Show the negative side of the Jaipur Literature B. Dissuade people from visiting the Jaipur Literature
Festival Festival
C. Show what goes behind a vast event like the D. Inform about the Jaipur Literature Festival, which

49. Why would authors lament the increasing size of the Jaipur Literature Festival?
A. Because it may divert writers towards writing just
B. Because it becomes difficult to have a meaningful

50. Which of the following inferences can be drawn about the controversies related to the Jaipur Literature

Sol. Passage summary
The passage is about Asimov and his works. The passage starts with a description of
Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics. He wrote several novels and short stories exploring the
interaction between humans and robots. The author states that Asimov’s works demonstrate
his belief in self-determination, human liberty, and freedom. He valued these ideals more as
he was from a country where these were denied.
Genre: Literature
Number of words: 405
Type of question: Main point/ theme based question
The quick reading of the passage will help identify the main point of the passage- the passage

2. C
Genre: Literature
Type of question: Author’s purpose
Let’s read the relevant paragraph. ’In works such as The End of Eternity and The Stars, Like
Dust, Asimov came down firmly on the side of human liberty and the freedoms embodied in
the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Isaac Asimov immigrated from a place that did not
cherish human liberty and freedom, which encouraged him, like millions of immigrants before
and since, to embrace those values even more.’
Summing up, we can say that the paragraph talks of Asimov’s support for human liberty and
freedom and how he came to cherish such values.
Option C summarises the points best. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Refer to the lines of paragraph 4 where the author says, ‘In his three-book “Galactic Empire”
series, his characters argue strongly for self-determination and against allowing a bigger entity
to dictate how people in a smaller land should live their lives. Given Soviet domination of
Eastern Europe after World War II, stories employing those themes would have earned
Asimov, at minimum, a stay in Siberia.’
So, the author claims that Asimov’s characters speak up for self-determination, which would
not have been allowed in the Soviet Union.
Therefore, we can infer that the purpose is to support his claim that Asimov supported these
values.
This is best expressed in option C. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
4. B
Genre: Literature
Type of question: Direct question
Refer to the lines of paragraph 2, where the author describes psychohistory as ‘an attempt to
predict the future using a combination of sociology and mathematics’.
This is the description given in option B.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
5. A
Genre: Literature
Type of question: Indirect/ Inferential question
Refer to the following laws mentioned in the first paragraph:
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to
harm.
2) A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would
conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the
First or Second Law.’
The first law is about not harming a human being, the second is about obeying humans, and
the third is about a robot’s right to self-protection, as long as it does not go against the first two
laws.
6. C
Sol. Loquacious means talkative.
7. B
Sol. Ineluctable means unavoidable or inevitable.
8. A
Sol. Obsequious means eager to praise or obey someone. ‘Servile’ is the correct synonym.
9. C
Sol. A charlatan is a hoax or an imposter.
Quack means a person who dishonestly claims to have special knowledge and skill in some
field, typically medicine. It is the correct synonym. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
10. D
Sol. Ostentation means showiness or flamboyance. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
11. B
Sol. Venerate means having great respect for someone. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
12. D
Sol. Emaciated means very thin and weak. Scrawny is the correct synonym. Hence, option D is the
correct answer
13. B
Sol. Impeccable means flawless or perfect. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
14. A
Sol. Facetious means flippant, not serious about something. Frivolous is the correct synonym.
15. C
Sol. To quash means to cancel or repeal. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
16. D
Sol. Extraneous means irrelevant. External is a synonym. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
17. D
Sol. Options A, B, and C have errors in comparison.
Option A should be ‘Sachin is more talented and dedicated than Vinod’.
Option B should be ‘I prefer tea to coffee’.
Option C should be ’Students find English easier than Mathematics’.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
18. B
Sol. The sentence indicates that the rain happened before the tree feel. Hence, we have to use the
past perfect tense for the earlier action, that is, the rain. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
19. A
Sol. Option A is the correct answer as the correct phrase is ‘send someone to Coventry’, which
means ‘refuse to associate with or speak to someone’. Coventry is an industrial city in the
west Midlands of England.
20. C
Sol. The correct answer is option C, as the phrase ‘a spanner in the works’ means ‘a person or
thing that prevents the successful implementation of a plan’.
21. D
Sol. Look after means to take care of. Option A is correct.
Look down on means to be contemptuous of. Option B is correct.
Look for means to look for something or expect something. Option C is correct.
Look forward to means you want it to happen because you think you will enjoy it. Option D is
the incorrect usage of the phrasal verb. In this case, the correct phrase is look on.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
22. B
Sol. Option B is the correct answer because the correct phrase is ‘greasy spoon’, which refers to ‘a
cheap, run-down cafe or restaurant serving fried foods’.
23. C
Sol. Option C is the correct answer because the phrase ‘grist to the mill’ means ‘useful experience,
material, or knowledge’.
24. C
Sol. Pun has not been used in this line taken from the poem ‘Ode to the West Wind’ by PB Shelley.
- Alliteration has been used in ‘wild West Wind’
- Metaphor: Comparison of the wild West Wind to the breath of Autumn's being
- Personification: Addressing the wind as a person
25. D
Sol. Hyperbole is the correct answer because eating a horse is an exaggeration.
26. D
Sol. Army: A group of frogs
Tower: A group of giraffes
Band: A group of gorillas
Hence, option D is the odd one out.
27. C
Sol. Except for option C, the rest of the answer options are related to the game of lawn tennis.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
28. C
Sol. Except for option C, the rest of the answer options are modes of transportation. Ballistic refers
to the projectiles and their flight. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
29. D
Sol. Except for option D, the rest of the words mean the dead body of a human or an animal.
30. B
Sol. Except for option B, the rest of the words are synonyms, which refers to the examination or
observation of one's own mental and emotional processes. Hence, option B is the correct
answer.
31. B
Sol. The phrase ‘no sooner’ is used to emphasise the short time in which something happens.
Here, the short time refers to the fact that it has only been a while since the COVID-19
pandemic slowed down, and now we have monkeypox to deal with. Hence, the phrase ‘no
sooner’ is appropriate here, and it is the correct answer.
32. B
Sol. Here, the main confusion would lie between options A and B. But option B is the correct
answer in the given context. First of all, monkeypox has not become a pandemic as of yet. So,
it does not make any sense to use the word here. And secondly, endemic refers to a disease
or condition regularly found among particular people or in a certain area. And since the author
is discussing the regions where monkeypox has been found just before the blank, it makes
sense to use the word here. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
33. C
Sol. The preposition ‘with’ is used when one is accompanying something or is in the company of
something. Here, the word is used to indicate that several countries are under the attack of
monkeypox. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
34. D
Sol. Here, we need to understand the underlying meaning of the context. Since we are dealing with
effective management of the community, it would only be possible if people suffering from
monkeypox come forward and get themselves treated. This would set an example for others to
come forward and help the community to reduce the transmission of monkeypox. Now, only if
people are unafraid they would come forward. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
35. C
Sol. The word ‘rhetoric’ refers to the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially
the exploitation of figures of speech and other compositional techniques. Now, this word is the
most appropriate here because the context wants to convey that if we indulge in racist and
homophobic talks, then the condition regarding monkeypox could worsen even more. Hence,
option C is the correct answer.
36. B
Sol. Here, we will need to fill the blank with an indefinite article because we do not know about
‘attachment therapy’ and that it is being mentioned in the passage for the first time. Also, we
use ‘an’ with a vowel sound. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
37. B
Sol. The answer to this question lies in the understanding of the context. And for that, we need to
revisit the sentence given below:
‘While there, Candace underwent an intervention that’s supposed to ___(37)___ the birthing
process. Therapists wrapped her in a flannel sheet and covered her with pillows to simulate a
womb or birth canal.’
Now, since therapists are trying to simulate a womb or a birth canal, it means they are looking
to simulate the birthing process. ‘Simulate’ means to imitate the appearance or character, and
here, the therapists are doing the same with a birth canal. Hence, option B is correct.
38. A
Sol. The phrase ‘fight out’ refers to fighting, arguing, or competing until an argument or competition
has been settled. Since four people tried to stop her from coming out of the simulated birth
canal, she needed to fight her way out of the situation. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
39. A
Sol. The preposition ‘of’ is used to indicate an association between two entities. Here, Candace’s
death is due to suffocation. The most appropriate preposition here would be ‘of’. Hence, option
A is the correct answer.
40. B
Sol. Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those
affecting behaviour in a given context.
Here, Candace’s behaviour was tested under a given context, and hence, option B is the
correct answer.
41. C
Sol. Part II is wrong here. The sentence is stating about the ‘economic’ situation of our country
whereas ‘economical’ means cheap or inexpensive. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
42. D
Sol. Part II is incorrect, as based on the context of the given sentence, it states that many
unnecessary policies are present. ‘Founded’ means something which is set up or established.
It should be ‘found’, which means ‘finding (something)’.
Part III is also incorrect. While going through the context of the sentence, the policymakers
have ignored the unnecessary policies in the past, and they are still doing it. As it is mentioned
in the succeeding part that no likely change is expected in their approach (the action began in
the past, and it is still going on), the correct tense here will be present perfect continuous
tense ‘have been ignoring’.
43. C
Sol. Part II is incorrect here. ’Stood along with’ is incorrect in the context of the given sentence. It
implies that Urmila adhered to her thoughts and ideologies. ‘Stand by’ means adhere to or
abide by something promised, stated, or decided and is the appropriate phrase in this context.
44. A
Sol. ‘They’ is used in the nominative case, while in the given sentence’s context, the objective case
should be used. ‘Them’ should be used instead of ‘they’. Hence, option A is the correct
answer.
45. B
Sol. The error is in the second part of the sentence.
‘With’ should be used after ‘do away’ because ‘do away with’ means cancelling. In the context
of the given sentence, the government has cancelled the monthly publication. Hence, option B
is the correct answer.
46. D
Sol. Here, only Part I is wrong because ‘in accordance to’ is used when we have to refer to any
person, whereas ‘in accordance with’ is used to refer to the current situation, which here is
‘availability of the limited seats’.
47. D
Sol. Passage Summary: The passage in hand talks about the Jaipur Literary Festivals and
excitement and controversies surrounding it.
Genre: Literature
Type of question: Main idea question

The passage informs about the Jaipur Literature Festival, its controversies, and the changes
observed in the festival over the years.
The purpose of the passage is more towards highlighting controversies and the issues most
audiences and authors face today at the festival.
Option D is the most appropriate answer.
The author just informs us about the scenes behind the festival. His purpose is not to highlight
only the negatives or dissuade anyone from visiting the festival.
Option C is incorrect. This option hints at what all kinds of preparation or work may go behind
organising the festival, which is not the case in the passage.
48. C
Genre: Literature
Type of question: Specific idea question
Option A is true. Refer to this line: ’... accused William Dalrymple, a (British) writer who co-
directs the festival, …’
Option B is true and is explicitly mentioned in the first paragraph.
Option C is incorrect. The passage mentions that Hartosh Singh Bal is an Indian editor of a
local magazine. It is not mentioned that he is a writer. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Option D is true. Refer to this line: ’From January 21st to the 25th a couple of hundred
authors, tens of thousands of book-lovers, and a few Nobel laureates cram the lawns of the
Diggi Palace in the Pink City.’
49. C
Genre: Literature

In the last paragraph, the author of the passage explains that authors may bemoan the
increasing size of the festival.
The reason is not explicitly mentioned in the passage, but through the commentary of Junot
Diaz, it is evident that more audiences may not be good for the writers and their work.
More audiences may induce a capitalistic attitude among the authors and that may influence
the quality of work they do. Their intention would be more towards gaining approval from a
larger section of people.
Further, the author subtly hints at the end of the passage that despite the desire of writers to
have more conversations with the audience, the sheer number of the audience does not seem
to make it happen. The conversation ultimately closes down to gaining approval from the
audience (hinted by the author of the passage at the end by the claps/applause of the
audience).
Thus, both options A and B may be the reason for the lamentation of the authors.
Option C is the correct answer.
50. C
Genre: Literature
Option A is wrong to infer. The passage does not hint at a comparison between the two events
by the delegates.
Option B also cannot be inferred from the passage. It is extreme and there is no supporting
evidence in the passage.
Option C can be inferred. The attack on the Tamil minorities and activists in Sri Lanka was
thought to be worth condemning by the activists. So, delegates visiting the event in a country
where Tamil minorities were attacked, was not taken positively by some activists.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Option D cannot be inferred from the passage. The passage suggests that the dispute
between Bal and Dalrymple attracted several discussions of whether or why Indian writers
crave foreign approval, especially from the Brits. It is wrong to infer that the discussion
concluded that Indian writers have lower self-esteem as compared to foreign writers.

81. A
Sol. If there is a need to keep a huge liquid base, especially for emerging market economies such
as India, it can definitely be because extreme cases like the COVID-19 pandemic or global
financial crisis could dent forward economic momentum. And since Statement I is a strong
reason behind keeping liquid reserves, it can be a conclusion.
Statement II cannot be a conclusion because we usually keep a buffer to fight off worst-case
scenarios, and here, there is no such thing. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
82. A
Sol. Since the Reserve Bank of India has lifted the ban on Master Card for acquiring new
customers, with immediate effect, the company would surely enter the debit/credit market with
renewed vigour, thereby increasing competition in the market. Hence, Statement I can
definitely be a conclusion.
On the other hand, II is not a conclusion because of the term ‘financial instruments’. A financial
instrument is not a credit/debit card; it is things such as government bonds, cash, and equity.
83. C
Sol. Since the supermoon is an astronomical spectacle, there are high chances it would attract
large crowds at places where there is a clear view of the sky because people would want to
witness it. Hence, I can be concluded. Similarly, Statement II can also be concluded because
many astronomy aficionados would line up outside of lunar observatories to witness the thing.
84. D
Sol. First of all, since we are dealing with cosmic stuff that has not been discovered yet, we cannot
say anything about it with certainty. Here, both the conclusions are talking about things that
cannot be concluded from the statement because these are quite certain observations that are
not true in the given context. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
85. C
Sol. Since traces of poliovirus have been found in India from time to time, it is clear that the country
has not achieved polio-free status in the actual sense. Hence, II can be concluded. On the
other hand, since the traces of poliovirus have not led to anything serious, there is clearly no
cause for alarmist hysteria. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
86. A
Sol. Since army professionals risk their lives to fight for the honour of this country, they should be
provided life insurance policies from government funds. Their job is highly risky, and a life
insurance policy would ensure their family gets covered if anything happens to them. Hence,
option A is the correct answer.
87. C
Sol. Here, both the arguments are strong. No matter what is going on in your life, you should
always make it a priority to take care of your health because if someone is not healthy,
everything they earn would go to waste. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
88. B
Sol. Comprehensive development or all round development depends on the development of all
sections. Hence, II is strong.
However, the same cannot be said about Statement I because it is asking us a question
instead of strengthening the case of helping out the underprivileged section of society. Hence,
option B is the correct answer.
89. A
Sol. The intention behind the government’s decision to make admissions free in museums is to
preserve and propagate our cultural heritage. Hence, Statement I is a strong argument.
Argument II is not strong as the admission is only free for a week and that would not really
make a huge difference
90. C
Sol. Here, both the arguments are strong, because there is a strong need to come up with solid
reforms on data security. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
91. B
Sol. Since it has been mentioned that unhealthy habits can reduce the efficacy of antibiotics, it can
be inferred that our health is dependent on how healthy we eat because the more we eat
unhealthy food, the more likely it is for us to be unaffected by antibiotics in case of bacterial
infections. This idea is best captured in option B, and hence, it is the correct answer.
92. A
Sol. Since some individuals are concerned about using plant-based protein sources in sports
nutrition products, it can be inferred that this is due to the different nutritional needs of
sportspersons as opposed to others. Since the work of a sportsperson involves a high degree
of physical activity, their nutritional needs are bound to be different from the rest. Hence,
option A can be inferred from the given information.
93. C
Sol. First of all, it’s better to eliminate the obvious. For instance, option D is explicitly present in the
given information. Hence, it is a fact, not an inference. Also, option A can be rejected because
there is no comparison going on between the importance of our ecosystem and the
importance of science. Hence, it is rejected as well. Now, option B is rejected because of the
first part of the given sentence. The first part of option B states that now we need to focus
more on the ecosystem, which would mean that previously, there was no such need. This is
not something that can be inferred and hence, option B is rejected as well.
94. A
Sol. Since it has been explicitly mentioned that greenhouse gas emissions should be subjected to
legal controls, it is quite likely that there has been an excess of greenhouse gases in the US.
Hence, option A is the most appropriate inference here.
95. C
Sol. The first line of the sentence clearly indicates polar bears have a close connection with climate
change and have been affected by it Hence, option C is the right answer.
96. A
Sol. Here, only I is a valid assumption because it is the only statement relevant to the statement t.
Since Qatar Airways has recorded high profit in the last one year and is preparing for a record
surge in travellers- it is assuming that there will be a huge increase in the number of
travellersHence, I is an assumption.
On the other hand, II is not an assumption because we can’t say that Qatar Airways is looking
to expand to other territories. Hence, option A is the right answer.
97. C
Sol. The main idea behind making the comparison with Pakistan is to make us aware of the poor
condition of road transportation in India. The suggestion in the paper that road conditions in
India must be improved shows that the assumption is that improving road conditions will
improve speed.
The second sentence that even Pakistan fared better shows that Pakistan was not expected
to do better than India in terms of average speed. So the assumption is that Inid is expected to
do beeter.
Hence, option C is the right answer here.
98. D
Sol. The statement mentions that information about the Rudram missile remains elusive The given
assumption is a restatement of the given statement. Hence it can’t be called an assumption.
On the other hand, II is not an assumption because we can’t say that the testing of all the
missiles has been kept under wraps because the first two have received adequate attention.
Hence, option A is the right answer here.
99. D
Sol. The statement mentions the severe drought like situation in Afghanistan and the resultant food
crisis
I is a restatement of the first line of the passage and hence not an assumption
II - We cannot say that poor water management is the reason for the water crisis since the
passage states that the country is facing severe drought.
Hence neither of the assumptions are implicit
100. A
Sol. I is clearly an assumption because the statement says that people are afaird that technology
will take away their jobs and then many job losses are already happening in some professions
and On the other hand, II is out of the context and hence, is incorrect. Hence, option A is the
right answer.
101. A
Sol. The crux of the paragraph is the idea that obesity can lead to an unhealthy life, something
which has been strengthened by the fact that obesity is the second biggest preventable cause
of cancer. The main point of the passage is that obesity is a cause of concern in England .
Hence, option A is the right answer.
102. B
Sol. Julian Assange’s extradition to the US is a clear indication that anyone who thinks they can
get away from leaking secret information related to the US are far away from being right. The
given idea is best captured in option B and hence, it is the right answer.
103. A
Sol. The passage is primarily written under the context of a strong resistance shown by Ukraine,
coupled with Russia’s military shortcomings. This has resulted in war dragged for over almost
three months. But in the end, the author has mentioned that the picture has darkened again,
which means the situation is more grim than ever. Hence, it can be said that Ukraine’s
resistance is not likely to sustain much longer. Hence, option A is the right answer.
104. B
Sol. The meaning of the difficult words given in the answer options are as follows :
Indiscretion : the trait of being injudicious, lack of good judgement.
Convention : a custom or way of doing things that is widely accepted and followed.
Voyage : a long journey through water
Logic for the question : the written message from a doctor to tell a patient regarding the use of
medicines. Overdose is the taking of more than what was prescribed. So if we follow the
prescription we do not take overdose.
A similar relationship is shown by indiscretion and convention. So if we follow the convention
we will be will take better decisions. But a failure to follow it will lead to a bad decision.
105. B
Sol. The meaning of the difficult words given in the answer options are as follows :
Parquetry : a patterned in lay used to cover floor
Hay : grass mowed and cured for use as a fodder
Statuary :relating to a suitable statues
Effigy : representation of a person in form of a sculpture
Trench : cut or carve deeply into
Logic for the question : Fresco is a mural done with water colours on wet plaster. So a fresco
is done or painted on wall. A similar relationship is shown by option b. parquetry is use to
cover the floor. Rest all the options can be eliminated.
106. B
Sol.
An agreement entered to beat someone is itself illegal. Thus, an agreement to beat C is an illegal act as
per principle 1.
107. B
Sol. No agreement except an agreement to commit an offence shall amount to a criminal conspiracy unless
some act besides the agreement is done by one or more parties to such agreement in pursuance thereof.
In the above case, the agreement to pay off the debt is legal and no further steps to commit robbery has
been taken by either A or B. Thus, this is not criminal conspiracy.
108. A
Sol. The provisions of Indian Penal Code shall apply to any offence committed by any person on any ship or
aircraft registered in India wherever it may be.
109. B
Sol.
The provisions of Indian Penal Code shall apply to any offence committed by any person on any ship or
aircraft registered in India wherever it may be. Thus, where A, who is not an Indian citizen beat B outside
India, though B is an Indian citizen, he cannot be tried in India under the code as per the principle.
110. C
Sol. As per the principle, any person is convicted of an offence for which under this Code the Court has power
to sentence him to rigorous imprisonment, the Court may, by its sentence, order that the offender shall be
kept in solitary confinement for any portion or portions of the imprisonment to which he is sentenced. In
the above case, the court cannot convict the accused for solitary confinement as the offence committed is
punishable for maximum 3 years ‘simple’ imprisonment.
111. C
Sol. Arrest without warrant in a non-cognizable offence because a police officer does not know the correct
procedure of law, is a mistake of law which is not excusable as per the above principle, thus, the police
officer is liable.
112. B
Sol. Arresting B, when C was the correct person to be arrested, considering B as C, is a mistake of fact and A
can be excused under the above principle.
113. C
Sol. Here, A, though guilty of abetting the burning of the house, is not guilty of abetting the theft; for the theft
was a distinct act, and not a probable consequence of the burning.
114. C
Sol. In the above case, the child was acting under the instigation of A, thus, A is liable in the same manner and
to the same extent as if he had instigated the child to put the poison into the food of Y and thus, liable for
abetment to murder.
115. D
Sol. Culpable homicide is not murder if the offender, whilst deprived of the power of self-control by grave and
sudden provocation, causes the death of the person who gave the provocation or causes the death of any
other person by mistake or accident. Thus, where A was beating his wife with a lathi, which accidently falls
on the child, he will not be liable for murder but culpable homicide as he accidently caused the death of
the child.
116. A
Sol. Culpable homicide is not murder if the offender, whilst deprived of the power of self-control by grave and
sudden provocation, causes the death of the person who gave the provocation or causes the death of any
other person by mistake or accident provided the provocation is not given by anything done in obedience
to the law, or by a public servant in the lawful exercise of the powers of such public servant. Thus, where
A is lawfully arrested by police and excited to sudden and violent passion by the arrest kills the officer.
This amounts to murder. as provocation is given by a public servant in the lawful exercise of the powers.
117. D
Sol. In kidnapping from lawful guardianship of a child below 16 or 18 years, consent of child is immaterial as it
is really easy to obtain the consent by enticing the same. Thus, A has committed kidnapping.
118. A
Sol. A person to whom money has been paid, or anything delivered, by mistake or under coercion, must repay
or return it. Thus, where A and B jointly owe Rs.1000 to C, and A pays the whole amount to C. B, not
knowing this fact, pays Rs.1000 again to C. Here C is bound to repay the amount to B received by
mistake.
119. C
Sol. Supplying niece with a number of beautiful dresses cannot be equated with necessaries and thus, the
price of the same cannot be recovered by A.
120. A
Sol. When the person to whom the proposal is made signifies his assent thereto, the proposal is said to be
accepted. A proposal, when accepted, becomes a promise. But, in the above example, the servant did not
know about the offer, and there can be no acceptance before proposal.
121. C
Sol. Coercion is the committing, or threatening to commit, any act forbidden by the Indian Penal Code or the
unlawful detaining, or threatening to detain, any property, to the prejudice of any person whatever, with the
intention of causing any person to enter into an agreement. Threat to divine pleasure cannot be equated
to coercion.
122. A
Sol. All agreements are contracts if they are made by the free consent of parties competent to contract. Thus,
where a contract is made between a minor and A, the minor being incompetent to contract, the contract is
void, irrespective of the fact that A acted bona fide and was deceived by the tall stature of minor.
123. B
Sol. The communication of a revocation is complete as against the person who makes it, when it is put into a
course of transmission to the person to whom it is made, so as to be out of the power of the person who
makes it. Thus, where A revokes his proposal which was made to B by post, the revocation is complete as
against A, when the post is dispatched.
124. C
Sol. A contract is said to be induced by “undue influence” where the relations subsisting between the parties
are such that one of the parties is in a position to dominate the will of the other and uses that position to
obtain an unfair advantage over the other. Thus, where A is indebted to B and the terms of contract seems
to be unfair the contract is voidable at the instance of A.
125. B
Sol. A proposal can be revoked by the death or insanity of the proposer, if the fact of his death or insanity
comes to the knowledge of the acceptor before acceptance. Thus, when A proposes to sell her land to B
for Rs.100000 and goes mad thereafter. B having accepted the proposal before insanity of A, a contract
has been validly concluded.
126. D
Sol. A proposal can be revoked by the death or insanity of the proposer, if the fact of his death or insanity
comes to the knowledge of the acceptor before acceptance. Thus, when A proposes to sell land to B for
Rs.100000 and goes mad, before B could accept the proposal, a contract has not been concluded and
thus, not enforceable.
127. A
Sol. Only one party has promised to pay but no reciprocal consideration has been offered from other side.
Thus, there is no consideration from B’s side to convert the promise into an agreement.
128. C
Sol. The principle of volenti non fit injuria states that the defendant is not liable when the plaintiff consents to
the act which has caused injury to him. Thus, the spectators run the risk of being hit by a ball, and in such
case nobody is liable.
129. A
Sol. The principle of volenti non fit injuria states that the defendant is not liable when the plaintiff consents to
the act which has caused injury to him. The passerby outside the field cannot be said to have consented
to any risk. Thus, the players are liable.
130. B
Sol. Here the doctrine has no application as construction on a busy road mandates to take relevant care of the
passerby. Thus, B cannot be said to have consented running the risk of injury.
131. A
Sol. Trespass means the wrongful disturbance of possession of land or goods of another person. Thus, when
A asked B to leave but, B did not leave. Then, A can sue B for trespass as the lawful entry was turned into
trespass later on.
132. B
Sol. A person who invites another cannot, as and when he wants sue his guest for trespass.
133. C
Sol. Where A regularly cleans the public path adjacent to his house while B with muddy feet walks over the
path just after A mobbed the path. Here, A cannot sue B for trespass as the property is public property
and not his personal property and trespass means the wrongful disturbance of possession of land or
goods of another person.
134. D
Sol. The principle states that damage to a person without legal injury to that person is not actionable in the
court of law. Thus, though damage is caused to A, no legal injury is caused and hence, no compensation
or damages can be claimed by A.
135. A
Sol. The principle states that injury without damage is actionable. Thus, a legal right to vote has been violated
by A, though no damage has been caused to B. Thus, A is liable.
136. C
Sol. Presence of scissors in abdomen of A, proves gross negligence and nothing more to be proved by A.
137. B
Sol. Negligence is a breach of duty or a failure of one party to exercise the standard of care required by law,
resulting in damage to the party to whom the duty was owed. A plaintiff can take civil action against the
respondent, if the respondent’s negligence causes the plaintiff injury or loss of property. Thus, where A
was sick due to food poisoning, there was breach of duty on the part of company.
138. B
Sol. The truck driver was not negligent in driving. A duty to drive with care without risking life is duty of the
every person driving vehicle on road.
139. B
Sol. A tort is a civil wrong. However, murder is a criminal offence.
140. B
Sol. Whoever by words either spoken or intended to be read, or by signs or by visible representations, makes
or publishes any imputation concerning any imputation concerning any person intending to harm, or
knowing or having reason to believe that such imputation will harm, the reputation of such person, is said
to defame that person. Thus, where B told that A stole the shoes, this is not defamation as there was no
intention to harm A’s reputation nor her reputation was actually harmed.
141. B
Sol.
Cricket is played on Tuesday.
Two people play the game between D and the one, who plays Cricket.
A plays the game before Wednesday but does not play Boxing.
Case 1,
Case 2,
Badminton is played before Friday but not on Monday.

C does not play Badminton, which is not played on Wednesday.
Tennis is played after Badminton.
Case 1,
Case 2,
Archery, which is played by E, is played after Boxing, which is not played by B.
Case 2 will be eliminated as A does not play Boxing.
Case 1,
Hence, D plays Tennis on Friday.
142. D
Sol.
9 is placed between each pair of digits of all the numbers where the digits other than 9 are
increasing successively by 1. But the pattern is not followed in 596989. Hence, 596989 is odd
and out.
143. B
Sol. The given code is:
Similarly, we know the following:
The first, second, third and fourth letters move to the third, fourth, seventh and eighth place
and the Fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth letters move to the sixth, fifth, second and first place
respectively.
Therefore, the code for ‘ACCURATE’ is as follows:
144. D
Sol.
Option A: + and –
15 + 2 – 15 ÷ 5 2 = 17 – 6 = 11
Option B: – and ÷
15 ÷ 2 + 15 – 5 2 = 7.5 + 15 – 10 = 22.5 – 10 = 12.5
Option C: × and +
15 – 2 × 15 ÷ 5 2 = 15 – 6 + 2 = 11
Option D: – and ×
15 2 + 15 ÷ 5 – 2 = 30 + 3 – 2 = 31
145. A
Sol. Looking at the options:
Option A: Q * V means Q is the mother of V. V + O means V is the brother of O.
O ^ T means that O is the son of T. Hence, T is the husband of Q.
We need not look any further.

146. C
Sol. The given alphanumeric series is as follows:
Hence, option C is correct.
147. D
Sol. M * W means M is the mother of W. W = H means W is the wife of H. H + S means H is the brother of S. S
^ D means S is the son of D.
So, S is the brother of the son-in-law of M. Hence, option E is the correct answer.
148. B
Sol.
So, the earlier position of Aayush was 9th from the right end. Hence, option B is correct.
149. C
Sol.
Angle traced by hour hand in hours = = 250⁰
Angle traced by minute hand in 20 minutes = = 120⁰
Required angle = 250⁰ - 120⁰ = 130⁰
Hence, option C is correct.
150. A
Sol.
Steps to be followed:
(i) Divide the word into two groups containing equal number of letters in each
(ii) Write the letters of the second group in reverse order at first and then write the letters of the first group
in the same order as they were.
For instance, PUR and PLE are two groups derived from PURPLE. PLE is written as ELP and PUR is
written as PUR. Hence, ELPPUR is derived.
Similarly, AMETHYST would be written as TSYH and AMET, and hence the answer would be TSYHAMET.
