71. Ans. (a) In the tort of conversion, it does not matter that Rohan was in wrongful possession of the watch. If he
is in possession of the watch at the time of conversion, he can sue for conversion. Chaman cannot argue that the
third party (i.e. Arvind) has superior title to the watch.

72. Ans. (b) Assault did not precede battery in this case- while Bhaskar was advancing towards Aman with the iron
rod in his hand, Aman was sleeping and there was no apprehension on the part of Aman that Bhaskar would use
force. It was only when Bhaskar actually struck him that Aman woke up to realize that he had been hit.

73. Ans. (c) In this case, Akram would surely have offered the poisoned drink to Pragya if not for the dogs
intervention; the intervention by the dog is a circumstance independent of the will of Pragya.

74. Ans. (c) According to the given principles, a man is responsible for all consequences arising out of his act if he
could have reasonably foreseen them. However, an exception is provided by way of Principle (III) whereby a man
would also be responsible for the unforeseen consequences of his act if he is an intentional wrongdoer. He was
illegally dealing in psychotropic substances; this makes him an intentional wrongdoer.

75. Ans. (a) The defence of volenti non fit injuria cannot be raised in cases of negligence.
76. Ans. (b) Distress damage feasant is a remedy by which, if cattle or other things be on a mans land
encumbering it or otherwise doing damage there, he may summarily seize them, without legal process, and retain
them impounded as a pledge for the redress of the injury he has sustained.

77. Ans. (b) Distress damage feasant is a remedy by which, if cattle or other things be on a mans land
encumbering it or otherwise doing damage there, he may summarily seize them, without legal process, and retain
them impounded as a pledge for the redress of the injury he has sustained.

78. Ans. (c) In order to commit the offence of theft , the key ingredient is moving of the property with an
intention to dishonestly take the property out of the possession of any person and without his consent . It is
immaterial that the book was not moved out of the room or that Baman was intending to return the book to Aman
the next morning.

79. Ans. (b) The offence of theft is complete when Ankit moved the milk out of the refrigerator with the intention of
stealing it. It is immaterial that Bunti caught Ankit red-handed before Ankit could escape. It is also no excuse in law
that a man in extreme want of food or clothing steals in order to relieve his present necessities.

80. Ans. (c) One might argue using the test of foreseeability that A could never have foreseen that his act would
result in injury to Bankus dog, therefore, one might conclude that the injury caused to Banku s dog was a remote
consequence of Anmols negligence.

81. Ans. (c) To constitute the wrong of trespass neither force, nor unlawful intention, nor actual damage, nor the
breaking of an enclosure is necessary.

82. Ans. (a) - A shopkeepers catalogue of prices is not an offer; it is only an invitation to the intending customers to
offer to buy at the indicated prices.

83. Ans. (a) According to the principle stated above, Champak must be shown to have a duty of care towards
Babu. It is the doctor Aslam and not the chemist who owes a duty of care towards Babu.

84. Ans. (c) In this case, the person commits trespass to goods when he snatches my gold ring. He also commits
conversion by taking.

85. Ans.(b) In this case, only A would be guilty of murder because there was no agreement between A and his
friends that they would shoot at the bar mate. Hence, they cannot be held guilty of criminal conspiracy.

86. Ans. (a) It is no defence for A that he did not intend to cause damage to the owner of the house (i.e. C) when he
broke-in. For the offence of mischief, it is sufficient that A intended to cause wrongful loss or damage to any
person by injuring any property. Whether somebody was in actual possession of the house or not is not a relevant
fact.
87. Ans. (c) In cases of false imprisonment , the period for which the detention continues is immaterial. It is
important to note that the shopkeeper had a lawful excuse to detain X on suspicion that he might be shoplifting.

88. Ans. (b) The maxim of Volenti Non Fit Injuria does not apply to cases of negligence because volenti non fit
injuria means that the plaintiff agreed to the risk of harm and not to the harm itself.

89. Ans. (b) A master-servant relationship exists between a driver and his employer. It is evident that A was doing
an unauthorized act, i.e., he was acting outside the course of employment. Therefore, B cannot be held vicariously
liable.

90. Ans. (b) A master-servant relationship exists between a driver and his employer. It is evident that A was doing
an unauthorized act, i.e., he was acting outside the course of employment. Therefore, B cannot be held vicariously
liable.

91 Ans.(d)- Applying the given principle to the above factual situation, one can argue that A & B live in a locality
which is famous in Lucknow for non-vegetarian food; this means that taking into account the surrounding situation,
it is normal that non-vegetarian food is cooked in the area where they reside. Therefore, B will not succeed;
however, the reasoning given in options (b) and (c) are incorrect to the extent that they do not explain why B will
not succeed.

92. Ans. (d) In the definition of extortion, the fear must be of such a nature and extent as to unsettle the mind
of the person on whom it operates, and takes away from his acts that element of free voluntary action while alone
constitutes theft.

93. Ans.(c) The reason why a libel published of a large or indeterminate number of persons described by some
general name generally fails to be actionable is the difficulty of establishing that the plaintiff was, in fact, included
in the defamatory statement, for the words are occasionally understood to be a facetious exaggeration.

94. Ans. (D)

95. Ans. (b) The words in the caption are not prima facie defamatory. It is their latent meaning which make it an
innuendo.

96. Ans. (b) In this case, the person commits conversion. This is because in borrowing my ring, he did not disturb
my possession of the goods unlawfully and therefore, no trespass was committed. He would, however, be liable for
the tort of conversion by sale because wrongful sale of goods is conversion.

97. Ans. (a) The principle given above is the eggshell skull rule which is an exception to the defence of
remoteness of damage. This means that the defendants will not be able to escape liability on the ground that A
would not have died had he not been suffering from haemophilia.
98. Ans. (b) There was no agreement between A, B and C to murder D and therefore, there was no criminal
conspiracy to murder D. A & C ran away when they saw B beating D; it is clear from the conduct of A & C that they
never intended to murder D. A, B and C agreed to intimidate D and in pursuance of this common intention (to
intimidate D), they proceeded towards D with hockey sticks in their hands. This makes all of them liable for
criminal intimidation.

99. Ans.(d) In my opinion, A cannot be held guilty of criminal trespass; this is because when he stayed on to smoke
a cigarette in Bs garden, he remained illegally on As premises, however, there was no intent to cause insult, annoy
or intimidate B.

100. Ans. (a) A cannot be guilty of extortion because he was not in the presence of B from whom he stole the
valuables. Further, the act of A would not amount to robbery because he did not cause or attempt to cause to B death,
hurt or wrongful restraint.

LOGICAL REASONING
106. a A = 2 M so ( A > M).
R = M so (R < M).
A = D so (A < D).
R = 2 L so (R >L). The order is L<R<M<A<D. M = 16 => R = 8 => L = 4
107. c A = 2 M so (A > M).
R = M so (R < M).
A = D so (A < D).
R = 2 L so ( R >L). The order is L<R<M<A<D. M = 16 => R = 8 => L = 4
108. d A = 2 M so (A > M).
R = M so (R < M).
A = D so (A < D).
R = 2 L so (R >L). The order is L<R<M<A<D. M = 16 => R = 8 => L = 4
109. b A = 2 M so (A > M).
R = M so (R < M).
A = D so (A < D).
R = 2 L so (R >L). The order is L<R<M<A<D. M = 16 => R = 8 => L = 4
110. a A = 2 M so (A > M).

A = D so (A < D).
R = 2 L so (R >L). The order is L<R<M<A<D. M = 16 => R = 8 => L =
111. c Options [a], [b] and [d] add strength to the theory that Anand has a better
chance. Option [c] goes against it and hence weakens the conclusion of the
passage.4
112. a The word like in the statement signifies that Manu behaves like a mad man, but
he is truly not. I is implicit.
113. a Assumption I can be inferred from the statement. Assumption II though a fact
does not follow from the statement.

114. b The problem on hand is lack of rice for local people. This can be addressed by
adopting course II. Course I is undemocratic and not correct.
115. d The reason for shifting from petrol/diesel run cars to electric cars is the running
cost of maintaining it. Both are implicit.
116. c The three month period signifies that there is demand for railway tickets and
hence advisable to book three months in advance. There is no clue in the
statement about whether booking could be done before three months of the date
of journey. Hence I is not implicit. The statement does not talk about air tickets
and hence II is not implicit as well. Neither assumption is implicit.
117. c Option [b] justifies the contrary to the given statement and therefore incorrect.
Option [a] attempts to challenge the statement. Option [d] is an inference arrived
at by negation of the given statement. Option [c] is closest to the meaning of the
actual statement.
118. c The given argument is an example of a system of option [c] but does protect
human rights. Therefore, it is evidently false.

119. c 19 x 2 = 38; 38 x 3 = 114; 114 x 4 = 456

120. a Lightning occurs in clouds and rainbow is formed in the sky
121. a The words in each pair are synonyms.
122. d Each letter moves 2 steps
123. b 5TH letter comes to 1st Position. The 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th letters move one step
forward to make the code

124. a The argument clearly indicates that pre soaked beans DO NOT yield plumper
beans and when quality is more important, beans should NOT be pre soaked.
Hence the most plausible assumption would be that Plumper beans enhance the
quality of the dish, option a.
125. b The options available relate to children only. Hence lets pick out that information in the
argument relating to children which are as follows: a) Neighbour childrenare permitted b) Children below
the age of six are not permitted between noon and 5 pm c) From 5 pm the pool is reserved for adults only.
A careful look at the option confirm that option b which says that next door neighbour whose daughter
under the age of six wants to swim, the pool must be open before noon, hence option b
126. d Option d clearly satisfies the given information without any ambiguity. The
statement says that half priced coffee is given on all days when poetry reading is
 scheduled and poetry reading takes place almost every Wednesday. Hence the
option d which says that Zacks offers half priced coffee on most if not all
Wednesdays fully satisfies the statement.
Option a is ruled out because, we have no information about other days to
comment on that.Option b is ruled out because, no information about poetry reading on other
days available to compare Option c is ruled out because, it reverses the reasoning, which is
incorrect.
127. b The correct answer is [b]. The best way to approach these questions is through
Venn diagrams. The first premise would mean all men (M) belong to honest (H)
group. The second premise would mean all politicians (P) belong to M. Therefore
it is clear that all politicians are honest.

128. d If A is similar to B and B is similar to C, A is similar to C. If A is similar to B, B is similar to A.

Therefore D, both transitive and symmetric
129. a Ooty is colder than Chennai because it is situated at a higher altitude and
temperature decreases by 1degree Celsius for every 165 metres of ascent.
130. a Plaster of Paris when mixed with water and applied around the fractured limbs, it
sets into a hard mass and keeps the bone joints in a fixed position. So, it can be
used for setting fractured bones.
131. d We prefer to wear dark clothes in winter because they absorb the heat and keep
the body warm. However, white clothes are good reflectors of heat and are worn
in summer
132. d

133. c

134. c The argument starts off by dismissing the need to consult a doctor for common
cold. However it goes on to elaborate on the consequences of ignoring common
cold thereby necessitating the need to consult a doctor in the first instance .Therefore the
correct answer is c.
135. c The answer is c. b is irrelevant and a is a far-fetched thought which is beyond
the passage

136. a
137. a F is just opposite to D. C is just opposite to E. Similarly, H is just opposite to G

138. b A is immediate left to C

139. b D is immediate left to G

140. d There could be one or more sons for the grandfather. Hence d is the
answer.

ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS
141 D The answer is none of these actually. The answer can be determined
and it is 1025. 76 is the CP if selling price is 100. If CP is 779, SP is 1025
142 D Not enough information about atleast one of their shares
143 C Simultaneous eqn where one is the multiple of the other
144 A Can be only A or D since daughter has to be less than 42 for the average
to be 42. Only 28 satisfies the condition.
145 A Same logic as before. Total work is 420. If work has to be done in 21
days, per day work has to be 20 units. 20 men are enough
146 D Can be 99 or 97 only. It is 97 (remember 99^2) and the value is too far
147 A Profits are shared in the ratio of the investments. Mansi invested for a
year and Kamya for 5 months. (42*12 and 50*5).
148 D In these problems take the product as the total work. 18*12=216 in this
case so that each child does one unit per day. 27 units should be done
each day to complete the work in 8 days (216/8). Hence D
149 B Again no need to calculate. 78 percent adds upto a lakh. Cannot be option
C as 22 percent should be more. Hence B
150 C If the ratio were the actual money they shared, C has 5 more than B. So if
C has 2580more than B, multiplier is 516. But no need to multiply since
the last digits in the answer choices are all different. Last digits will do.
As share should end in 8 and Ds share in 0. Last digit has to be 8. Hence
C
