or, t = 90 minutes.
Normally the person would take 90 minutes for the journey.
92. A; Let the age of the father and son be 9x and 2x respectively.
 9x – 5

As per the question,
2x – 5 1
9x – 5 = 16x – 40
7x = 35
x=5
The present age will be 45 and 10 respectively.
After 5 years their age will be 50 and 15.
Required ratio = 50 : 15 = 10 : 3
93. D; Let the number of correct questions be x and therefore the number of incorrect questions will
be 50 – x.
According to the question, x × 1 + (50 – x) × (– 0.25) = 45
x – 12.5 + 0.25x = 45
1.25x = 57.5
57.5
x  = 46 correct answers.

As per the problem
Milk/water = (28 x 5/9 + 40 x 3/5)/ (28x 4/9 + 40 x 2/5)
= 83/64
95. C; This is a question of simple interest.
CP/17/C27
But a question like this will be easier if we use alligation to do the question.
Let the amounts invested at 4% per annum and 10% per annum be in the ratio x : y.
Therefore,
4% 10%
8%
x

96. B; It is given that 16 men and 8 women can finish the work in 48 days.
In the second case number of men = 12 and number of women = 6
16 men and 8 women = 48 days
12 men and 6 women = Y days
16 4 8 4
 and is also .
12 3 6 3
The two equations are dependent equations.

Therefore, 
Y 4
Y = 64 days.
97. D; Let us first find the day on 25th June 2031
It is given that 25th of June 2026 is a Friday.
25th of June 2027 will be a Saturday.
25th of June 2028 will be a Monday.
25th of June 2029 will be a Tuesday.
25th of June 2030 will be a Wednesday.
25th of June 2031 will be a Thursday.
Let us count the number of odd days after 25th of June 2031.
June : 5 days
July : 31 days : 3 odd days
CP/17/C27
August : 31 days : 3 odd days

Total = 5 + 3 + 3 = 11 odd days = 4 odd days from Thursday.
Therefore, 31st of August 2031 will be a Monday.
98. C; The boy takes 4 hours when he rides one way and walks the other way.
He takes 2 hours more i.e 6 hours when he walks both ways.
Therefore, the boy takes 3 hours in walking one way.
This also means that the boy takes 1 hour when he cycles one way.
So, the boy will take 2 hours total when he cycles both ways.
99. A; The angle between the two hands at 6 am is 180 degrees with the minute hand behind the
hour hand.
In the next 20 minutes, the minute hand will reduce this angle at the rate of 5.5 degrees per
minute.
= 20 × 5.5 = 110 degrees.
Therefore, the angle between the two hands at 6.20 am = 180 – 110 = 70 degrees.
100. C; 140 units
A : 35 days 4 units
B : 20 days 7 units
Total 11 units.
Let them work for x days together after which A left and B completed the work in the
remaining 3 days.
Therefore, 11x + 7 × 3 = 140
11x = 140 – 21
11x = 119
119 9
x  = 10 and days
11 11

11  12  11
9Y = 6 × 12
Y = 8 months
102. D; Total number of boys = 12 + 9 – 4 = 17 boys.
Also, it is given that 1/3rd of the strength of the class is boys.
Therefore, total strength of the class = 17 × 3 = 51 boys.
103. B; Let their respective cost prices be denoted as CP1 and CP2 respectively.
125
Therefore, CP1   400
100

CP1   400

CP1 = 320/ –
50
CP2   400
100
CP2 = 800/ –
Total cost price = 320 + 800 = Rs.1120
Total selling price = 400 + 400 = Rs.800
  800 – 1120  
Therefore,    100

Loss of 28.56%.
104. C; Let the 2 numbers be 5xa and 5xb respectively.
Therefore, 5 × a × 5 × b = 5 × 75
CP/17/C27
a × b = 15
This can be possible as
a = 1 and b = 15
a = 3 and b = 3
There are 2 pairs of numbers such that HCF is 5 and LCM is 75.
105. A; A : 100 C : 80
C : 150 B : 130
This can also be expressed as
A:5 C:4
C : 15 B : 13
A : 75 C : 60 B : 52
Therefore, in a 75 m race A will beat B by 23 m.
In a 300 m race A will beat B by 23 × 4 = 92 m.
106. C; The number of matches played = n C2
According to the problem, n C2  171
n n – 1 
 171

n(n – 1) = 342
Solving for n we get n = 19.
107. C; 7 boys can be seated in a straight line in 7! ways.
After 7 boys have been seated there will be 8 places created for the girls.
The 4 girls have to occupy out of these 8 places.
This can be done in 8P4 ways.
Required answer = 7! × 8P4.

109. B; If we add 5 litres of water to 20 litres of milk, the profit earned will be 25%.
Mark – up of 12% would contribute an additional profit of 12%.
CP/17/C27
Overall profit = 25  12 

110. C; ABCD when divided by 6 gives a remainder of 5.
Therefore, ABCD must be of the form 6K + 5.
When a number of the form 6K + 5 is divided by 3, the remainder obtained will be same as the
remainder when 5 is divided by 3.
Required answer will be 2.
Section IV: Legal Reasoning

111. C; Anita is not guilty for the reasons mentioned in the option itself
112. A; the option is self-explanatory. Read it in consonance with the explanation to the principle
113. B; A is not guilty of murder as his act was not in all likeliness to cause the death of B. As is
narrated in the facts that “to defend himself” A had attacked B. However, since he closed B’s
nostrils while defending himself, he has exceeded his right to private defence.
114. D; The option is self-explanatory. Read the principle carefully.
115. D; A is guilty of mischief as A has committed mischief and not criminal misappropriation
116. A; Read the principle. It clearly says so
117. B; Since medical help was available he should have not confined the patient for over three days
118. B; A would be guilty of criminal force as the force which he has used is most likely to annoy Z
(that is, the boiling water in the bath tub in which Z was bathing)
119. C; B is guilty only of causing hurt as his act was intended to and would have most likely resulted
in the causing of bodily pain in normal circumstances.
120. A; The facts say that at the request of one the other wrote the letters so as to defraud the
Government. When the request of one is accepted by the other, it gives a shape to an
agreement
121. B; It is clearly stated in the problem that he was forced to be used as a suicide bomber. It is
immaterial as to what he had taken an oath on. If subsequently he was forced, his successors
will succeed
122. A; Suleman is guilty of causing hurt as he voluntarily caused bodily pain to Salim.
123. A; Suleman will be guilty of hurt. Please stick to the principle. Voluntarily causing hurt to another
is sufficient to constitute the offence of hurt. It is nowhere mentioned in the principle that a
“friendly act” is exempted from being qualified as hurt
CP/17/C27
124. C; Again! Stick to the principle. The principle says that if a person voluntarily causes bodily pain
to another, only then he is liable for hurt. Hence, causation of bodily pain is a must.
125. C; Salim would not be liable as Suleman did not get ‘hurt’, i.e. he neither got bodily pain nor
disease nor infirmity
126. A; C will be liable for the death of B as he handed over a knife to A when the latter was having a
brawl with C, knowing that A was very short-tempered and that such act could in most
likelihood cause stabbing of C. It is immaterial as to what was B intending. Rather, what is
important is that in the present circumstances C’s act of handing over the knife to A was likely
in the ordinary course of nature to cause the death of C.
127. C; The consumption of poison would have in the ordinary course of nature caused only an upset
stomach. However, since
128. C; Shyam is not guilty of any offence, as he did not offer the poisonous drink to Subah. Though,
he had mixed poison in Subah’s drink, he had kept it in his bedroom. Read Principle No. 4
carefully
129. B; Shyam will be liable for hurt as he has voluntarily caused disease to another. It is immaterial
that Shyam intended to cause hurt to Subah and instead caused hurt to Pinky.
130. B; The restraint was not wrongful as the reason for restraining Raj to go along with the bullocks
was genuine. Read the principle carefully, its WRONGFUL restraint which is punishable.
131. A; Nilabh is liable for wrongful restraint as he did not allow Raj to go in the direction of the
village, along with his bullock-cart. Since, it is practically impossible for a farmer to leave his
cart and the bullocks and go in a particular direction all by himself, it is wrongful restraint as in
a way Raj was restrained from going in that particular direction
132. A; Nilabh is actually liable for the offence of wrongful confinement, but since that is not one of
the options the answer would be wrongful confinement. The same is because wrongful
confinement includes wrongful restraint. While locked inside the cabin, Raj is not allowed to go
in many directions, including the main gate of entry and exit of the cart.
133. D; Option a could have been a probable option but option d is more accurate as it highlights the
reason as to why would Ram be liable for culpable homicide
134. A; The reason is the same as is given in the options
135. B; Option b is the most appropriate. Even if Shobhit had the knowledge that the thief was inside
the room, it would not have been a case of wrongful confinement as confining a thief in a
room is not wrongful.
136. A; Shobhit will be liable as he did not inform the police authorities. If a thief is caught, he has to
be handed over to the police authorities at the earliest. It is not the right of anyone to keep
somebody, even a thief, in confinement. In our case Shobhit did not inform the police
authorities
CP/17/C27
137. B; Shobhit will not be liable as he made all efforts to find if the thief was there in his house. Since,
the thief was hiding inside a cooler, i.e. at a very conspicuous place, it was almost impossible
to realize that the thief was somewhere in the house
138. B; Wrongful confinement means confining a person within certain circumscribing limits. The
‘confining’ has to be with respect to an imminent danger which the victim might feel at the
time of leaving those circumscribing limits. In the case at hand, there is no imminent danger to
him if he leaves the city. This is a case of criminally intimidating a person as per Section 503 of
the IPC
139. B; Sameer will succeed as he was falsely made to believe by Don that the latter’s men were
placed outside his house and that he would be killed if he moves outside his house. The mere
apprehension of the imminent danger (as soon as he leaves the premises) is more than enough
for constituting the offence
140. A; Shekki is guilty as he has completed the age of 7 years and is not under the stipulated age.
Hence, he is not covered under the protection provided by the Principle 1.
141. C; Sam is not guilty for assault as he did not prepare or make a gesture for criminal force
142. B; Yes, because the contract was executed for rice, which is not a forbidden substance. It’s a trick
question. Read the facts and the options carefully before answering
143. C; Bali will succeed as he was sane at the time of contract
144. D; Ankit will not succeed because he did not check her age and entered into transaction without
guardian’s permission.
145. B; Ram has right to cancel tender, as it was obtained by fraud.
146. C; Sanju will be liable as he performed steps in processing order of Raju for a reciprocal promise.
147. D; Bismil will not be liable as he received the second letter only after he had already sent
consignment upon receiving order through first letter.
148. C; B has a remedy as the agreement is valid. The agreement is one which is based upon
contingency
149. A; It is not an impossible agreement and is hence enforceable. It is possible that over the years
Suarabh’s physical ailment is cured and that he breaks the record of Usain Bolt.
150. D; The agreement is neither a regular agreement nor a contingent agreement. Such a contingency
which is based upon astrology as well as reincarnation is not recognized in law
151. B; Yes, it is enforceable as Shoaib’s act was a past consideration for the decision of the Company.
Words of appreciation on a national television, boosting a Company’s reputation form a valid
consideration for a party
152. B; The competition involves taming bull which in itself explains the nature of the act. Hence
Adithya Reddy agreed to the consequences voluntarily when he purchased the ticket. They
were of usual course in the act.
CP/17/C27
153. C; The principle states that a person imposing total restraint on the liberty of another, thereby
causing another to believe that his movement is curtailed. This means that Varun was of the
impression that he is totally restraint as he was unaware of the second gate. Hence Arun will
be liable although a second gate was there.
154. C; The marriage is voidable as she is a minor and is yet to complete 18 years of age required it to
be a valid marriage.
155. C; Gautam is guilty because there was no sudden provocation and he killed him the next day
after locating his whereabouts. This proves that he had the capacity to think and act; and the
act was not done under any provocation or heat of the moment.
156. B; The principle doesn’t mention the residence as a ground for discrimination meaning thereby
that the discrimination based on the same is allowed and valid.
157. C; Shivam is liable because he saw Tanmay mixing alcohol in the drinks and hence had knowledge
about the same. While on the other hand Vineet was unaware of the same and hence is not
liable.
158. C; Mr. Bhati had no intention irrespective of him being a rival and therefore not liable as he shot
him accidently.
159. B; Although the act of giving lift was not authorised by the master still it was done in the course
of employment and therefore makes the master liable to pay the compensation.
160. C; The act was done without any lawful justification and hence amounts to defamation.
Section V: Logical Reasoning

161. C; Follows from “..will require the managers to work more with people. However this does not
mean other sectors ignore people altogether so D is eliminated”
162. C; The entire passage implies that art is to be its own means and its own end. A is opposite to the
thought . B adds the word life. D is out of context
163. C; Since technology has “imparted greater dignity and value” to human labour, it follows that
human labour has fundamental dignity and value.
164. D; Follows from “..let us hope that they will justify their abilities by rising to the occasion. While A is
true it isn’t the conclusion. B does not show the contribution of the country .C is extreme, which is also ok but the context is
different”
165. D; The passage lists conditions for prevention of industrial accidents, implying that such accidents
are avoidable if safety rules, among other measures, are implemented.
166. D; Follows from “..proves himself to be the superior..”
CP/17/C27
167. D; implied by the entire passage. Focus is on the comparison and that’s mentioned only in D.
A, B and C are also out of context
168. C; Follows from “..for through the modern development of economy,”
169. C; Implied by the entire passage.
170. B; Implied by the entire passage.
171. B; Only III, upon negation, yields a proposition that undermines the advertisement. Also the ad
Implies that while it usually requires money they will make it possible without it
172. A; Only I & II, upon negation, yield propositions that undermine/contradict the suggestion.
Introduce means earlier it wasn’t there and the second part implies that a written exam can help sift
the competent from the incompetent
173. A; Only III, upon negation, yields a statement that contradicts the advertisement. Statement II is the
opposite; if people didn’t care about prices the above mentioned proposition is denied And A is out of context
174. D; None of the given assumption-statements are validated as actual assumptions by the negation
test. All the assumptions mentioned are superfluous and categorical
175. B; Only I and III, upon negation, yield claims contrary to the judge’s. I and II show the importance of
the statement. If a concern is raised theassumption should be that it is important
176. A; Follows from Line 1.
177. A; In order for the claims of the passage to be true, it must be the case that the process of
acquiring mathematical ability must have been studied in some detail.
178. A; Follows from “..While it certainly seems likely that “confidence” in mathematics passes from
parent to child”
179. D; Contrary to Line 1.
180. B; Although there might be people who inherently or due to “confidence” issues, cannot acquire
mathematical ability, it is probably true as per the passage that said ability can be acquired As
is evidenced in the last line
181. C; argument I is ridiculous and rhetorical. Argument II assumes that government jobs will be
given “only” to relatives. Thus, both are weak.
182. B; Argument I is contrary to established policy; argument II is in accordance with it.
183. C; Argument I assumes a lack of Sanskrit teachers, which is contrary to fact. Argument II
presumes that the inculcation of “pride” in our ancient language is dependent upon teaching it
compulsorily.
184. C; Both arguments are laughable.
185. A; Argument I is strong on all counts and factual. Argument II presumes falsely that membership
of the Security Council requires the prior elimination of poverty etc.
