1. B
Sol. Pattern of the series is:
11 + 4 = 15
15 + 6 = 21
21 + 8 = 29
29 + 10 = 39
39 + 12 = 51

2. A
Sol. Logic is-

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

3. B
Sol. The venn diagram based on two possibilities has been represented below:

Conclusion I:- It cannot be said with certainty that all the calculators are singers.
Conclusion II: - It can be said with certainty that all the machines are calculators.
Conclusion III:- It cannot be said with certainty that all the singers are machines.

Hence, both conclusion (II) and (IV) follow.

Hence, option B is correct answer.
4. C
Sol. Minimum Possible diagram is-

Conclusions:
(I) All roots are flowers. - it is not a definite case, hence false.
(II) All stems are flowers. - it is not a definite case, hence false.
so, Neither I nor II follows

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

5. C
Sol. Only the Parliament or the State Legislatures have the authority to enact laws on their own. No
law made by the State can take away a person’s fundamental right. State or local laws held to
be preempted by federal law are void not because they contravene any provision of the
Constitution, but rather because they conict with a federal statute or treaty, and through
operation of the Supremacy Clause. Here in this case, the Court can quash the existing law if
it violates fundamental rights but cannot direct the Parliament to make a new law; because he
is not authorized to so.
6. C
Sol. When one person signifies to another his willingness to do or to abstain from doing anything,
with a view to obtaining the assent of that other to such act or abstinence, he is said to make a
 www.byjusexamprep.com

proposal. The expression of willingness/desire results in a valid proposal only when it is

made/addressed to some person(s). Here in this case, ‘X’ makes the following statement in an
uninhabited hall; which means his words were just the statements and no proposal can be
made out of that. Hence, ‘X’ made a statement that did not result in any proposal.
7. C

Nepal 112th, Sri Lanka 127th, Pakistan 145th, and China 177th.

10. A
Sol. ● Here in this case, X, because of unsound state of mind and not knowing the nature of the
act, attacks Y, who in self defense and in order to ward off the attack, hits him thereby injuring
him. We can clearly say that Y hits X in self-defence and he(Y) was not aware of the
unsoundness of mind of X. Hence, Y has not committed an offence. That's why, Assertion is
correct.
● Section 98, IPC: Right of private defence against the act of a person of unsound mind, etc:
"When an act, which would otherwise be a certain offence, is not that offence, by reason of the
youth, the want of maturity of understanding, the unsoundness of mind or the intoxication of
the person doing that act, or by reason of any misconception on the part of that person, every
 www.byjusexamprep.com

person has the same right of private defence against that act which he would have if the act
were that offence." Hence, Reason is also true in this case.
11. A
Sol. ● It is clearly mentioned in the Assertion that X and Y independently entertained the idea to kill
Z. Accordingly; each of them separately inflicted wounds on Z who died as a consequence.
So, here in this case, X and Y both are liable for murder under Section 341 IPC. Hence,
Assertion is true.
● Under the Criminal Procedure Code, it's a very well-known fact that, when a criminal act is
done by several persons in furtherance of common intention of all, each of such persons is
liable as if the whole act was done by him alone. That's why, Reason is also true. Hence,
Option A is the correct answer.
12. C
Sol. Let the number of selected and unselected candidates be s = 9x and u = 2x respectively
Then, total number of candidates applied, t = 11x
Now, according to the question
New number of applied students, t’ = 11x – 80
And number of selected students, s’ = 9x – 20
∴ Number of unselected students = 11x – 80 – 9x + 20
= 2x – 60

Now, new ratio between them =

⇒ 9x – 20 = 10x – 300
⇒ x = 280
Then, total number of candidates applied = 11x
= 11 × 280
= 3080

Let amount obtained by A = 4x

Amount obtained by B = 3x

Amount obtained by C = 2x

Amount obtained by D = x

Hence, Initial amount of C =

the division. This is used here to separate the number of odd days from number of weeks.)
As Divit's birthday is on Friday, Samar’s birthday will on Friday + 5 days = Wednesday.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

 www.byjusexamprep.com

54. A
Sol. Nathaniel Bailey is considered as the pioneer of dictionary and Samuel Johnson only improved Nathaniel
Bailey's work. So, we can say that Samuel's dictionary was an improved version of Nathaniel's dictionary.
Thus, option A is correct.
55. D

Prolific means present in large numbers or quantities; plentiful.

Bleaker means little or no hope. A person in prison experiences a chaotic life before and after coming

frustrated mentally; he has been traumatized enough and treated cruelly in every aspect of his life, which
is why he has acted gruesomely. There was no one to care for him or love him, which could have kept him
away from such horror incidents. ‘Abused’ is a perfect word for this.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
 www.byjusexamprep.com

62. D
Sol. Utopian means modelled on or aiming for a state in which everything is perfect; idealistic.

Quixotic means extremely idealistic; unrealistic and impractical.

Cognitive means connected with thinking or conscious mental processes.

criminal background. So ‘epithets’ is the perfect word.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

64. D
Sol. Preceded means to come before or earlier in time. The whole paragraph highlights the life of criminals,
where they are known only for their crime and what were they earlier and how did they end up being a

69. A
Sol. Every agreement in restraint of the marriage of any person, other than a minor, is void. In
India, contractual relationships between two or more parties are mainly dealt with by the Indian
Contract Act, 1872, enacted by the British imperial government which exercised control over
the country at that time. Section 26 of the Indian Contract Act of 1872 states that every
agreement in restraint of marriage, except those in restraint of marriage of minors, is void.
Here in this case, after the marriage of the husband; two co-widows, Sultana and Marjina
enter into an agreement that if any of them will re-marry, would forfeit her right to her share in
the deceased husband’s property. And this agreement is not valid in the eye of law. That's
why, the agreement is void because it was a restraint of marriage.
70. D
Sol. Nothing is an offence merely by reason of its being done with the knowledge that it is likely to

given circumstances was inevitable and was out of control of Mr. Siddharth Raghavan, the
Italian captain of a steam vessel. Mr. Raghavan has committed all the act in good faith and his
intention was to prevent a greater harm. That's why, this is a clear case of accident so Mr.
Raghavan cannot be held responsible.

76. B
Sol. Acceptance (of offer) must be communicated by the offeree to the offeror so as to give rise to
a binding obligation. The expression ‘by the offeree to the offeror’ includes communication
between their authorised agents. Here in this case, ‘Y’ accepted it and communicated his
acceptance to ‘Z’, a stranger; and stranger was not a party or an authorized agent of Y. That's
 www.byjusexamprep.com

why, Y’s acceptance did not result in any agreement. Hence, Option B deducing the most
appropriate rationale for this reasoning.
77. C
Sol. Minor’s agreement is void from the very beginning. It can never be validated. It cannot be
enforced in the court of law. Minors (those under the age of 18, in most states) lack the
capacity to make a contract. So a minor who signs a contract can either honor the deal or void
the contract. There are a few exceptions, however. For example, in most states, a minor
cannot void a contract for necessities like food, clothing, and lodging. Here in this case, ‘A’, a
boy of 16 years of age, agrees to buy a camera from ‘B’, who is a girl of 21 years of age;
means the boy is a minor at the time of making the contract. Hence, as per the given principle,
there does not arise any contract between ‘A’ and ‘B’ to sell/buy the camera in question.
78. C
Sol. The consideration or object of an agreement is unlawful if it is forbidden by law. Every
agreement of which the object or consideration is unlawful is void. Section 23 of the Indian
Contract Act, 1872 specifies three issues, for example, consideration for the agreement, the
object of the agreement and the agreement in essence. Section 23 makes a restriction on the
freedom of an individual in connection to going into agreements and subjects the privileges of
such individual to the overriding contemplations of public policy and the other provisions
articulated under it. Here in this case, the "object" of the consideration of the contract is
unlawful and that will prevent the contract from being enforceable in the court of law. Hence,
Option C; i.e. there is an agreement between ‘X’ and ‘Y’ which cannot be enforced by the court
of law, is the correct rationale.

Sol. let the number of sides of polygons are n and 2n.
Let the interior angles of the polygons are 2x0 and 3x0.
Then,
Exterior angles of these polygons = (180-2x)0 and (180-3x)0
We know that exterior angle of a polygon= 360/number of sides
So,
180-2x=360/n
360/n +2x = 180 -----------------------(i)
And
180-3x=360/2n
180/n + 3x = 180 ----------------------(ii)
(I)*3 – (ii)*2,
(1080/n – 360/n)=(540-360)
⇒ 720/n = 180
⇒n=4
So, number of sides = 4 and 8.
