26. C; iii–i–ii–iv. Passage starts with iii and then is followed by i. iv and ii form a mandatory pair also.
27. D; iv–iii–ii–i. iv and iii form a mandatory pair. And so also ii and I form a mandatory pair.
28. A; iv–i–ii–iii. Passage starts with iv and then goes on to i and then carries forward to ii and iii.
29. D; i–iv–ii–iii. i and iv form a mandatory pair by talking of “the european countries that were
forced into…”.
30. C; iii–i–iv–ii. The passage starts with iii and then goes to i. This will give you the answer.

33. A; coup d'état.
34. C; headed.
35. C; pretense.
36. D; no error.
37. C; “to drive home” and not “to drive in”. Concept being tested here is phrasal verbs. Drive home
means to make someone realise something.
38. A; both verbs need to be in the same form so “launch” instead of “launching”.
39. B; misplaced modifier error here. “Both” needs to be placed after “provide” as then the both
would be applicable to “technological” and “financial”. If “both” is placed before “provide”
then it is applied on the verb “provide” and needs another verb to complete the set as in “both
provide and assist”
40. B; “complete” instead of “completed”. Concept tested here is parallelism. All the verbs need to
have the same form “do” “identify” and “complete”.

Section – III: Quantitative Aptitude

91. B; Let B do 1 unit per day and so A will do 2 units per day.
Total (A + B) = 3 units per day.
Therefore, total work = 45 units.
A alone can do the work in 45/2 = 22.5 days.

92. A; Let the 2 numbers be 25 × a and 25 × b.

Therefore, 25 × a × 25 × b = 25 × 150
a × b = 6 where a and b must be co – prime.
The possible options for the values of a and b will be 1 and 6 or 2 and 3.
There are 2 possible pairs.

93. D; Let the cost price of the item be Rs.X.

Therefore, the company wanted the marked price to be Rs.1.05X.
Due to the person’s mistake, the price was marked as Rs.0.95X.
Therefore, 1.05X – 0.95X = Rs.50
0.10X = Rs.50
X = Rs.500

94. B; Use the direct result of (30 × 30)/100 = 900/100 = 9% loss.

95. D; The equivalent contributions of A, B and C will be as follows:

A = 6000 × 12 = 72000
B = 8000 × 12 = 96000
C = 10000 × 8 = 80000
The profit will get divided in the ratio 72:96:80 = 9:12:10.

96. A; A: 60 points B: 50 points

A: 100 points C: 80 points

A: 300 points B: 250 points

A: 300 points C: 240 points
Therefore, in a 250 point game, C can beat B by 10 points.
So, in a 500 point game, C can beat B by 20 points.

97. C; Effective rate of interest in case of SI = 10 + 10 = 20%.

Effective rate of interest in case of CI = 10 + 10 + (100/100) = 21%.
CI is 1% more than the SI.
Therefore, difference = 1% of Rs.5600 = Rs.56.

98. B; Required answer = [(16 – 1)/(4 – 1)] × 5 = 25 years

99. C; 360 units

A + B = 60 days 6 units
B + C = 90 days 4 units
A + C = 120 days 3 units
2(A + B + C) = 13 units
Therefore, (A + B + C) = 6.5 units.
Also, (B + C) = 4 units
Therefore, A alone can do 2.5 units per day.
A can do the work alone in 360 × 2/5 = 144 days.

100. D; 43200 is greater than 2763.

200 when divided by 4 gives a remainder of 0.
Therefore, the last digit of 43200 is same as the last digit of 34 = 1.
63 when divided by 4 gives a remainder of 3.
Therefore, the last digit of 2763 is same as the last digit of 73 = 3.
The overall last digit is the substraction of a number whose last digit is 3 from another number
whose last digit is 1.
(M……..1) – (N………….3) = 8.

101. D; 12 × 20 × 8 = Y
Also, 20 × Z × 6 = 1.5Y
Therefore, 20 × Z × 6 = 1.5 × 12 × 20 × 8
Z = 1.5 × 2 × 8 = 24 days.

102. A; If speed becomes 3/4th of the normal speed, time taken will become 4/3 of the normal time.

Let the normal time be t and so time taken today 4t/3.

4t/3 – t = 15 minutes
t/3 = 15 minutes
or, t = 45 minutes.
Time taken today = 45 + 15 = 60 minutes.

103 B; Using the replacement formula we have,

(1/3)/(5/8) = (V – 2)/V
8/15 = (V – 2)/V
8V = 15V – 30
or, 7V = 30
v = 30/7 litres.

104. A; Speed upstream = 15 – 3 = 12 kmph

Speed downstream = 15 + 3 = 18 kmph.
Time taken upstream = 72/12 = 6 hours.
Time taken downstream = 72/18 = 4 hours.
Total time taken = 10 hours.

105. D; 5 people can be seated in a straight line in 5! ways = 120 ways.

Number of ways in which D and B are always together = 4! × 2! ways = 24 × 2 = 48 ways.
Number of ways in which D and B are never together = 120 – 48 = 72 ways.

106. A; Probability of an India win = 5/8

Probability of Australia win = 7/9
Probability that both India and Australia win = 5/8 × 7/9 = 35/72

107. B; Total number of ways = 52C2.

Favourable number of ways = 26C1 × 2C1 = 26 × 2
Probability = 26 × 2 × 2/52 × 51 = 2/51.

108. D;

109. B; Given that 29th of May is a Monday.

1st of June will be a Thursday.
29th of June will be a Thursday.
1st of July will be a Saturday.

29th of July will be a Saturday.

1st of August will be a Tuesday.

110.A; In the first case,

(Length of the train + Platform)/30 = 10
L + 120 = 300
or, L = 180 m
Relative speed of the train with respect to the man = 40 m/sec.
Time taken to cover 180 m = 180/40 = 4.5 sec

Section – IV: Legal Reasoning

111. B; DVB did not take proper care of the transformer and hence it caught fire. Arijit was not liable
as it was not upto him to help people once the tragedy occurred.

112. D; DVB (Same as above). Arijit will be liable since the hall he made was not fulfilling the
requirements and hence not fit to accommodate people.

113. D; The breaking and falling of a tree is obviously not within the control of the municipal
corporation. At the same time, the consequences arising out of the tree falling resulting in the
death of the plaintiff is certainly not foreseeable.

114. A; the DMC was clearly negligent since they knew about the tree and still refused to act.

115. A; the workers were negligent in leaving the road in such a situation without a warning sign.
Speed of the car becomes irrelevant.

116. A; the contract talked about the delivery before the siege, the requirement of munitions was for
the siege and the HTT knew that. The delivery becomes irrelevant if the siege is over and hence
it was a condition of the contract.

117. C; Breach of contract has not happened since the supply was made within the time frame i.e.
before the 28th of the month.

118. B; Principle 2 clause 2 is directly applicable in this case. The fact that the buyer has accepted 58
consignments indicates that the buyer has waived the right to repudiate by implication.

119. C; Agayla could have certainly claimed private defense in this case. However, she has exercised
the same without any recourse to public authorities. Also the use of force is in any case
disproportional.

120. A; Although every citizen has the right to move freely throughout India, this restriction by the
State is a reasonable one since it is being put in the interest of national security and public
safety.

121. A; Although the restriction is being imposed for a week, it is being done to ensure the safety of
the citizens. The Government has reason to believe that the lives of the citizens maybe
endangered due to the threat of bombs being planted in metro stations

122. B; The State is being unreasonable by imposing such a ban on rallies in support of gay rights. The
voices of citizens are being suppressed merely because the Government is not in favour of
legalizing homosexuality. Moreover, the citizens have a right to assemble peacefully and
without arms, and to move freely throughout India. Prohibiting such rallies from taking place is
thus unconstitutional.

123. B; This restriction is an unreasonable one because by declaring their sexuality online, the citizens
are merely exercising their freedom to speech and expression. This cannot be said to lead to
obscenity online.

124. A; There is mensrea in this case, because A knew that the snake was a poisonous one, and that it
would inevitably bite B. Hence, he is guilty of culpable homicide.

125. A; Section 301 of IPC is directly applicable here. Although he intended to cause B’s death, he
killed C. However, it was done with the intention and the knowledge that it would killa person.
Hence, A is guilty of causing culpable homicide in the same way as if he had caused B’s death.

126. B; This is not a case of culpable homicide because A had neither the intention nor the knowledge
that his act would be likely to cause death of the man. However, he was negligent because he
was shooting recklessly. Hence, section 304A of IPC is applicable here.

127. D; While exercising his right of private defence, A can cause someone’s death only if there is
apprehension of any threat to his own life. Here, just because B had a gun in his hand, it
cannot be reasonably concluded that he intended to use it on A. Hence, A cannot take this
defence.

128. C; In this case, there is no reasonable apprehension of death by B. He was merely being dramatic.
This cannot amount to him trying to murder A. Hence, A did exceed his right of private
defence.

129. D; it was the duty of TAPU to confer degree on the students, and denial of that amounts to
deficiency in service.

130. A; X is guilty as he had the intention of wholly abandoning his child for whatever be the
circumstances.

131. A; Both the parents and the child shall be considered as consumer as both availed the services of
the hospital, hence compensation can be claimed on the behalf of the both.

132. B; This contract is a wager, hence he will not succeed.

133. B; Legal knowledge

134. D; Legal knowledge

135. A; Applying Rule A to the instant case, Wahida acquired the flat before the said notification was
passed, and dealings done before cannot be said to be illegal vide this new notification. Hence,
her acquisition of the flat is legal.

136. A; The new law does in fact apply to Wahida in this case. The law was already in force by the time
she made the purchase of the second house. Therefore, she shall be liable.

137. A; If the case was only against his mother then the facts would have been different however,
since the case was against both the son and them other, therefore, the son also cannot be
compelled to be a witness against himself.

138. B; There was no false claim about the product by Yohan.

139. A; The warranty may be given by a seller or manufacturer. Since Sikka sells the fan to Gils with a
false warranty pertaining to the product, there has been a breach of warranty.

140. A; Rule B is not applicable in the instant case since she wrote and published the poems outside of
her employment.

141. A; Since Fresca composed the poems outside of her employment with Poesie and not for the
purpose of publication therein, Fresca being the author is the first owner of copyright of the
poems.

142. B; Since Mindy is the author of the book about Fresca, it is she who will be the first owner of
copyright over the book.

143. C; Since both (a) and (b) are facts relevant to the issue in the case, i.e. tussle for becoming CEO of
Just Wear, and the qualifications and professional engagements of the candidates are of
relevance.

144. D; Both the facts (a) and (b) are not relevant, since they pertain to her personal affairs.

156. C; Concept of vicarious liability does not extend to the criminal law.

157. A; Refer to Consumer protection act. See also, Donoghue v. Stevenson case.

158. B; Reason just talks about another form of marriage, it doesn’t give rationale of the Assertion.
Furthermore Muta is a temporary marriage for one night.

161. C; This is an ‘either–or relationship where only one condition holds good. Hence option (3)is the
answer.

171. C; There is no cause effect relation between these two statements. Also these two are effects of
some independent causes as they cannot have a common cause.

172. D; There can’t be a cause–effect relationship between the two statements. And it appears that
they are the effects of a common cause as the two actions are almost identical in nature.

173. B; II is the cause and I is the effect. The inauguration of the league is the reason why Federer has
arrived in India.

174. B; II is the cause and I is the effect. Because USA is against the Russian invasion of Crimea and its
subsequent annexation, so they have shown their displeasure.

175.D; Both the statements are effects of common cause. The common cause is probably that there is
a terrorist threat from some neighbouring country.

181. D; The alphabetical position of each letter is doubled.

Z = 2 × 26 = 52, ACT = 1 × 2 + 3 × 2 + 40 = 48

Solution to 184 to 187:

As per the given information.
Colleges Sport Place
BBD Not volleyball Not Jaipur
Oriental Not Tennis Lucknow
Sherwood
National Hockey Not Bombay
Prestige Chess Not Raipur not Bombay

As volleyball was held in Jaipur, it cannot be won by any of National, Prestige, BBD or Oriental.

Hence Volleyball was won by Sherwood in Jaipur. As none of Tennis, Volleyball, Hockey and Chess is
won by Oriental, cricket was won by Oriental and BBD won Tennis. Prestige did not win a tournament in
Bombay or Jaipur or Lucknow or Raipur. Hence, Prestige won a tournament in Kolkata and similarly
National did not win a tournament in Bombay or Jaipur or Lucknow or Kolkata. Hence, they won in
Raipur and thus, BBD college won a tournament in Bombay.

The final arrangement is as follows-

Name Sport Place
BBD Tennis Bombay
Oriental Cricket Lucknow
Sherwood Volleyball Jaipur
National Hockey Raipur
Prestige Chess Kolkata

184. C; Sherwood won Volleyball. Hence (c)

185. A; Cricket was held in Lucknow. Hence (a)

186. D; National was the winner in Raipur. Hence (d)

187. C; Tennis—Bombay is the correct combination of a game and the place where it was held. Hence
(c)

188. C; It is clear that the two couples would be CB and AD. Thus, A would be the doctor. Now the only
profession left is engineer. So, E is an engineer. Hence, (c)

189. D; It is given A<B, C<D, B<C, A> E. Combining we get, E<A<B<C<D. So, D is the most intelligent.
Hence, (d)

190. D; P is in 1st and Q is in 3rd racing lane. T is not adjacent to Q. So, Q is in 5th racing lane. Thus, R can
be racing lane 2 or 4. Hence, (d)

191. D; Q is running in 4th and R in 3rd racing lane. From above conditions, S or T or P cannot run in 5 th
racing lane. Also, S cannot run in 1st racing lane. Thus, S runs in 2nd racing lane. But neither P
nor T can run in 5th racing lane. So, data is inconsistent. Hence, (d)

192. A; S cannot run in racing lane 1st and 5th. Also from given conditions, S cannot be on 3rd racing
lane as then 4th and 5th would be occupied by P and R by conditions given which would result
in Q and T occupying 1st and 2nd racing lanes which violates the condition. Thus, S has to be in
racing lane 2. Hence, (a)

193. A; The clock gains 16 minutes in 24 hours. Hence, to gain 8 minutes, it takes 12 hours. Thus, the
clock will show correct time after 12 hours i.e. 6.00 pm on Monday. Hence, (a)

194. D; Ahmedabad is smaller to Calcutta, Ahmedabad is smaller to Jaipur and Hyderabad.

Ahmedabad is smaller than Patna. But Secunderabad is smaller than Ahmedabad. Thus, among
these Secunderabad is smallest. But, Nagpur is smaller than Hyderabad. We don’t know which
among Secunderabad and Nagpur is smaller. Hence, (d)

195. A; Number 4 is in triangle, circle and square. Hence, (a)

196. D; Covered with only forest and grassland means that number which is only in triangle and five
sided figure. Hence, (d)

197. C; Hilly area with only snow is a combination of only circle and square. Hence, (c)

198. D; Clearly, option (d) satisfies the BODMAS rule after making necessary changes. Hence, (d)

Solution to 199 and 200:

B is the winner. H loses in Quaterfiinals. D loses to A. Therefore, D beats E in Quaterfinals. One player
losing semifinal is D against A. The second player who lost in semifinal to B is C as if the second player
was F, then by given rule, A has to play against F which is not the case. Thus, C loses to B in semifinals. A
and B reach final and B wins, so A is runner up.
Hence,
