Section III: Quantitative Aptitude
91. A; In the first case, 240/S = 24 sec
where S is the speed of the train.
Solving for S we get S = 240/24 = 10 m/sec
In the second case, the train has to cross a platform 650 m long.
Time taken = (650 + 240)/10 = 890/10 = 89 seconds.
92. C;
24 units
A and B 8 days 3 units
B and C 12 days 2 units
A, B and C 6 days 4 units
A + B + C = 4 units
A + 2B + C = 5 units
Therefore, B = 1 unit per day
Also, C = 1 unit per day and A = 2 unit per day
A and C = 3 units per day
Therefore, they can finish the work in 24/3 = 8 days.
93. A; Let B do 1 unit per day.
Therefore, A will be able to do 1/2 unit in 3/4 day.
Work done by A in 1 day = (1/2) × (4/3) = 2/3 units per day
Total A and B = 2/3 + 1 = 5/3 units per day.
Since they can complete the work in 18 days, therefore = (5/3) × 18 = 30 units.
Therefore B can complete the work in 30/1 = 30 days.
94. B; A leap year will have 366 days which will have 52 weeks and 2 odd days.
These 2 days can be (Mon, Tue), (Tue, Wed), (Wed, Thu), (Thu, Fri), (Fri, Sat), (Sat, Sun), (Sun,
Mon).
Out of the total 7 cases possible, there are 3 cases such that we will have 53 Fridays or 53

95. C; The solution will have 80% Milk and 20% water ie in the ratio 4:1.
If we take a 50 litre solution, we will have 40 litres of milk and 10 litres of water.
Let the quantity of water added to make it 50% be x litres.
40/(10 + x) = 50/50
40 = 10 + x
x = 30 litres.
96. D; Speed upstream = 5 – 3 = 2 kmph
Speed downstream = 5 + 3 = 8 kmph
Time taken to go 16 km upstream = 16/2 = 8 hours
Time taken to go 16 km downstream = 16/8 = 2 hours.
Total time taken = 8 + 2 = 10 hours.
97. B; The equivalent contribution of A = 35,000 × 8
The equivalent contribution of B = 42,000 × 10
Ratio of their equivalent contributions = (35 × 8) : (42 × 10)
= 5 × 4 : 6 × 5 = 2:3
Share of A = 2/5 × 31570 = 2 × 6314 = Rs.12628/–
98. D 20736 = 12000 (1 + R/100)3
(1 + R/100)3 = 20736/12000 = 1.728
Solving for R, we get R = 20% per annum.
99. B; HCF of fractions = (HCF of numerator)/(LCM of denominator)
HCF of fractions = 2/81
100. A; In the word “ANNUM”, there are three consonants and two vowels.
The 3 consonants can be arranged in 3!/2! ways = 6/2 = 3 ways
Once the 3 consonants are arranged, there are 4 places for the vowels.
The 2 vowels can be arranged in 4 × 3 = 12 ways.
Total number of ways = 3 × 12 = 36 ways.
101. A; If the number is divisible by 44, it is divisible by both 4 and 11.
To be divisible by 4, the last 2 digits has to be divisible by 4 and so b will be either 2 or 6.
If b = 2 then we check the divisibility with 11.
Sum of digits at odd places = 2 + a + 8 = 10 + a

Sum of digits at even places = 7 + 5 + 3 = 15

Therefore, a = 5
If b = 6 then we check the divisibility with 11 again.
Sum of digits at odd places = 6 + a + 8 = 14 + a
Sum of the digits at even places = 7 + 5 + 3 = 15
Therefore, a = 1
In both the cases, a + b = 2 + 5 = 7 or 6 + 1 = 7
102. D; The replacement formula will be applicable for water.
(16/49) / 1 = {(V – 6)/V}2
4/7 = (V – 6)/V
4V = 7V – 42
3V = 42
V = 14 litres
103. B; Let the present age of the father and daughter be 4x and x respectively.
Therefore,
(4x – 4)/(x – 4) = 7 : 1
4x – 4 = 7x – 28
3x = 24
x = 8.
Their present age will be 32 years and 8 years respectively.
After 2 years, the daughter will be 10 years old.
104. C; Number of runs to be scored = 280
Number of runs scored in the first 5 overs = 5.6 × 5 = 28
Remaining runs to be scored = 280 – 28 = 252.
Remaining overs = 45.
Average runs to be scored = 252/45 = 28/5 = 5.6 runs per over.
105. B; The two hands of a clock are at right angles twice in every hour.
From 1 pm to 5 pm, there are 4 hours and so there must be eight right angle positions.
Out of these 8 positions, 1 position of 3 pm is common to both 2 and 3 as well as 3 and 4 pm.
So, there will be 8 – 1 = 7 right angle positions.

Therefore, 25 – y + 25 – y + y = 45
y=5
Number of students who like only Quant = 25 – 5 = 20
107. A; The last day of a century can be either Friday or Wednesday or Monday or Sunday and so the
first day of a new century can be either Saturday or Thursday or Tuesday or Monday.
108. B; Including a mark–up of 10%, we are looking for 32% profit.
So, additional profit must be 20%.
For a profit of 20%, we need to add 20% water to milk. (since water is free of cost)
Required answer is 1 : 5.
109. C; The ratio of the MP and CP is 5 : 3 and the ratio of CP and SP is 4 : 5.
Equating and making the CP equal we have
MP : CP : SP = 20 : 12 : 15
Therefore, ratio of MP : SP = 20 : 15 = 4 : 3
Percentage discount offered = 25%
110. D; The LCM of 6 and 7 is 42 and we need a remainder of 5.
The required number will be the (multiple of 42) + 5
= 126 + 5 = 131.
Sum of the digits = 1 + 3 + 1 = 5.

Section IV: Legal Reasoning

IPC – Culpable
1c
111 C Homicide
IPC – Culpable 2b Since the hurt caused was not enough to be likely to cause the
112 B Homicide death of a person
IPC – Culpable 3c Since he had the knowledge of the ulcer and knew that the same
113 C Homicide was likely to cause death
4b Mere intention to kill does not matter. For an offence of culpable

homicide it is necessary that the act caused is such as is likely to cause
Homicide
114 B death
5c As both were playing and had a latent consent of being hit by the
IPC - Hurt
115 C ball. The act by which the ball had hit Billu was caused by an accident
6a Rehman is guilty of causing hurt to Billu, as his action of ducking
IPC – Hurt was such which caused hurt to Billu. The act of Zeeshan hitting
116 A Rehman with a ball does not constitute the offence of hurt, because

of Principle No. 2, i.e. since the latter had consented to taking the risk
of being hurt.

7a Rehman is guilty of causing hurt to Sohrab for the reasons as

stated above. Moreover, it does not matter that Rehman had ducked
so as to cause hurt to Billu, but hurt was caused to Sohrab because
IPC - Hurt the principle says Anybody who causes disease, bodily injury or
infirmity to another person is said to have caused hurt. It is
IMMATERIAL that hurt is intended for one person and caused
117 A to another person.
8b Option b is the correct answer as it explains as to how had Kshitij
‘WRONGFULLY’ confined Vibha and her baby. Kshitij’s negligence in
IPC – Wrongful
not checking as to whether there was anybody inside the lift or not,
Confinement
before he started to work upon the lift.Option c neither contains the
118 B word ‘wrongfully’ nor does it contain the explanation of the word
9a Kshitij would still be liable for wrongful confinement for the
IPC – Wrongful
reasons as mentioned above. Vibha’s negligence will not absolve him
Confinement
119 A from the said liability as it is unconnected to the offence committed
120 A 10a Ramesh will be guilty of wrongful confinement as
IPC – Wrongful
11c The reasons are the same as have been stated in the option
121 C Confinement
12c No. The reason is that upon having a bona fide knowledge of the
IPC – Wrongful assassination plan Ramesh locked up Sippy so that the latter’s life
Confinement may not be under threat. Hence, there was no mala fide intention on
122 C Ramesh’s part and therefore the confinement was not ‘wrongful’
IPC – Wrongful 13b Tanay is liable for wrongful confinement as he was negligent in
123 B Confinement placing his ferocious dog at his only exit door of the house.
14b Both the options, b and c, are correct, but b is more correct as it
IPC – Death highlights the fact that A is not guilty as ‘he was not negligent’ which
caused by rash or is closely knitted with the principle at hand. According to the principle
negligent act A would be guilty only if the death is caused by a negligent act done
124 B on his part
15b Since B did not die and only succumbed to severe injuries, A is
IPC – Death
not guilty of an offence under Section 304-A of the IPC. For the
caused by rash or
commission of this offence, death ought to have occurred. This is a
negligent act
125 B trick question. Read the principle carefully
Indian Evidence 16 (c) Explanation-(b) is also correct but (c) falls in consonance with
Act – Confession the principle and is more comprehensive. A fair trial is needed before
before a deciding the guilt of innocence and he was not given an opportunity
126 C Magistrate to hear during the trial, which means he can’t be held guilty.

128 A for injury caused to the little child.
19. (c) Explanation-The option (c) is correct. A husband is liable only
for necessary expenses incurred by his wife which does not include
Principle based
buying a necklace. Even though she is getting free supply of rice for 6

21 (d) Explanation-The option (d) is correct because both (b)

and (c) together fall in consonance with the Principle here which
says, “takes or entices” and “out of the custody of lawful
IPC – Kidnapping guardianship”. In this case, Raman has neither enticed Megha to
come with her to Gandhinagar nor taken her out of her parent’s
custody. Thus, both of the elements remain unfulfilled and
Raman is not liable.

131 D
22. (c) Explanation-The option (c) is correct. According to the
principle, there is needed to be an intention on part of the accused in
IPC – Outraging
order to make him liable for outraging woman’s modesty. But, in this
the modesty of a
situation where there is a crowded station and the incident took place
woman
while Reema was trying to get out of the train, shows that this was
132 C merely an accident and there was no intention on part of the accused.
23. (d) Explanation-The option (d) is correct as Y should have
informed the police first before taking law in his hands. The moment
till he fired in the air was proportionate to scare off the robbers and it
IPC – Robbery
worked as they started fleeing away but as and when he fired at the
robbers, there was no imminent danger that drove him to take such
133 D action because the danger has already been subsided.
24. (c) Explanation-The option (c) is correct. Shrisar’s claim against the
Constitution of
Film city shall not succeed because Fundamental Right to move freely
India – Right to

26. (b) Explanation- The option is (b) is correct. Car is immovable
Trespass
136 B property. Trespass only occurs if there is immovable property.
27. (c) Explanation-The option (c) is correct because the contract had

an inadequate consideration as, Noha agreed to work for the rest of
Act – Reasonable
his life in Rs. 10,000. Thus, landlord can’t move to court to enforce
Consideration
137 C the contract.

28. (a) Explanation-The option (a) is correct as, the conductor was
negligent on his part by issuing tickets of lower denomination to a
Law of Torts –
passenger, because of which Sen got a wrong ticket. Thus, as per the
Negligence
principle, transport authority is liable to pay damages to Sen because
the act by the conductor was under his course of employment.

138 A
29. (d) Explanation-The Option (d) is correct as Hitesh did not aid or

43. c The principle states that a person imposing total restraint on the
liberty of another, thereby causing another to believe that his

So, for O it will be P and for Z it will be A.

The answer will be WKPA.
168. B; C + 3 = F
R+3=U
I + 3 = L and so on.
Each letter is replaced by the letter 3 positions ahead.
So to decode EULGH we must go 3 positions behind
E–3=B
U–3=R
L–3=I
G–3=D
H–3=E
So the word is BRIDE.
169. B; From the codes of given three words, it can be made out that S is coded as 2
