ENGLISH INCLUDING COMPREHENSION 

Direction for Questions 1 to 10: Read the given passage carefully and attempt the questions that follow and
shade the appropriate answer in the space provided for it on the OMR answer sheet. 

It is an old saying that knowledge is power. Education is an instrument which imparts knowledge and
therefore, indirectly controls power. Therefore, ever since the dawn of our civilisation, persons in power
have always tried to supervise or control education. It has been handmaid of the ruling class. During the
Christian era, the ecclesiastics controlled the institution of education and diffused among the people the
gospel of the Bible and religious teachings. These gospels and teachings were no other than a philosophy
for the maintenance of the existing society. It taught the poor man to be meek and to earn his bread with the
sweat of his brow, while the priests and the landlords lived in luxury and fought duels for the slightest
offence. During the Renaissance, education passed more from the clutches of the priest into the hands of the
prince. In other words, it became more secular. Under the control of the monarch, education began to devise
and preach the infallibility of its masters, the monarch or king. It also invented and supported fantastic
theories like “The Divine right Theory” and that the king can do no wrong, etc. With the advent of the
industrial revolution, education took a different turn and had to please the new masters. It now no longer
remained the privilege of the baron class, but was thrown open to the new rich merchant class of the society.
The philosophy which was in vogue during this period was that of “Laissez Faire” restricting the function
of the state to a mere keeping of laws and order while on the other hand, in practice the law of the jungle
prevailed in the form of free competition and the survival of the fittest.

LEGAL APTITUDE 
This section consists of fifty (50) questions. Each question consists of legal propositions/ principles
(hereinafter referred to as ‘principle’) and facts. These principles have to be applied to the given facts to
arrive at the most reasonable conclusion. Such principles may or may not be true in the real sense, yet you
have to conclusively assume them to be true for the purposes of this section. In other words, in answering
the following questions, you must not rely on any principles except the principles that are given herein
below for every question. Further you must not assume any facts other than those stated in the question. 



158


The objective of this section is to test your interest towards study of law, research aptitude and problem
solving ability even if the “most reasonable conclusion” arrived at may be unacceptable for any other
reason. It is not the objective of this section to test your knowledge of law. 
151: 
Principle: When an offer is accepted by a person to whom it is made, it becomes a promise.
But this promise will become legally binding only when the acceptance of the offer is
unconditional. 
Facts: Ram makes an offer to sell his house to Shyam for Rs.50 lacs. Shyam accepts this
offer but wants to pay the price of the house in five quarterly instalments. Ram does not
agree to it. Thereafter Shyam agrees to pay the price of the house in the way as originally
desired by Ram. But Ram does not reply to it. Can Shyam compel Ram to sell his house to
him? 
A. Shyam can compel Ram to sell his house because Shyam ultimately agrees to pay the price
as originally desired by Ram 
B. Shyam can compel Ram to sell his house because Shyam in the first instance substantially
complied with the desire of Ram 
C. Shyam can compel Ram to sell his house because Ram’s offer does not exclude the
payment of price in instalments 
D. Shyam can not compel Ram to sell his house because Shyam imposes a new condition
about payment of price of the house while accepting the offer which is not ultimately
accepted by Ram. 
152: 
Principle: Generally an agreement without consideration is not valid. Therefore, in order
to make a valid agreement, some consideration which may have some value in the eyes of
law, is essentially required. 
Facts: William has an old car of which he makes seldom use. He voluntarily enters into an
agreement with Smith to sell this car for rupees ten thousand. Thereafter one Anson
approaches William and offers to buy that car for rupees one lac as the car was one which
Anson has been searching for long. Now William wants to cancel his agreement with Smith
and refuses to deliver the car to him saying that consideration (price) for the car promised
by Smith is negligible and, therefore, agreement with him can not be said to be valid one. 
A. William can cancel his agreement with Smith as the consideration involved in that is really
inadequate. 
B. William can not cancel his agreement with Smith as the sale of car for rupees ten thousand
was voluntary and this price has some value in the eyes of law. 
C. William can cancel his agreement with Smith as he was ignorant about the value / price of
the car for which it could be sold. 
D. William can cancel his agreement with Smith as he is entitled to get full market value/price
of his car. 
153 
Principle: In order to be illegible to appear in the semester examination, a student is required to
attend, under all circumstances, at least 70% of the total classes held in that semester as per
University rules. 

156
Facts: Anand, an economically poor but a very brilliant student of LL.B. final semester, while going
to his University by cycle received some leg injuries in road accident. Consequently Anand could



not attend his classes for one week as he was advised rest by his doctor for that period. Due to this
absence from the University, Anand failed to have 70% attendance essential to appear in the
examination and, therefore, he was debarred from appearing in the examination by the 
University authorities. Anand challenges this decision in the court of law 
A. Anand will succeed in the court of law as the accident was beyond his control 
B. Anand will definitely get favour of the court on humanitarian ground as he comes from a
economically poor family and may not afford to take readmission 
C. Anand will not succeed as he could very easily fulfill eligibility criteria for appearing in the
examination by being reasonably regular in the class throughout the semester. 
D. Anand will succeed as requirement of 70% attendance may be declared arbitrary and, therefore,
unreasonable by the court of law. 
154 
Principle: A seller of goods cannot transfer better rights than he himself possesses in the goods sold
to the buyer. 
Facts: Komal leaves his watch by mistake on a seat in the park. Sonal finds that watch and
immediately sells the same for good price to Monal who without inquiring whether Sonal is its
owner or not. Komal later on claims that watch from Monal. Decide whether Komal can succeed?
A. Komal cannot succeed as Monal has paid good price of the watch. 
B. Komal cannot succeed as Monal is unaware of the fact that Sonal is not its owner. 
C. Komal can not succeed as it was his carelessness and nothing else which enabled Sonal to sell
the watch to Monal. 
D. Komal can not succeed as Sonal is merely finder of the watch and, therefore, cannot transfer
ownership rights thereon to Monal. 
155 
Principle: All citizens shall have the Fundamental Right to carry on any occupation, trade or
business. But reasonable restrictions on the exercise of such rights can be imposed by law in the
interest of the general public. 
Facts: A large number of persons had been carrying on the business of dyeing and printing in Rajkot
area for the last 25 years providing employment to about 30000 families. From these business
places untreated dirty water was being discharged on the roads thereby causing damage to the public
health. A notice, therefore, was given to close this business till necessary measures to protect public
health as provided under the environmental statutes were taken by those business men. 
A. Notice can not be justified as it will cause loss of employment to 30000 families. 
B. Notice can not be justified as it amounts to violation of the fundamental right of the persons
who have been carrying on the business for the last 25 years. 
C. The notice can not be justified on the ground of damage to public health as the persons in that
area have been voluntarily residing for long and have become used to that environment. 
D. The notice can be justified as the right to business is not absolute and reasonable restriction can
be imposed by law in the interest of the public.

where some benefit is conferred on third party by the contract itself, there third party can be allowed
to enforce that contract to get such benefit. 
Facts: Dinesh is liable to pay Rs. 50000/- to Suresh. In order to discharge this liability Dinesh enters
into a contract with Ramesh by which Dinesh sells his car to Ramesh for Rs. 1 lac. Ramesh takes
the delivery of the car and promises/ assures to pay its price at the earliest. Dinesh separately
informs Suresh about this contract for his satisfaction. Ramesh fails to pay the car’s price. Suresh
wants to join Dinesh in filing suit against Ramesh for the recovery of price of the car. Whether
Suresh is entitled to do so? 
A. Suresh is entitled to do so because the contract was made for his benefit. 
B. Suresh is entitled to do so because Dinesh is liable to him and discharge of this liability depends
upon the payment of the price of the car by Ramesh. 
C. Suresh is not entitled to do so because liability of Dinesh does not depand upon any assurance
of Ramesh 
D. Suresh is not entitled to do because he is not a party to the contract between Dinesh and Ramesh. 
157 
Principle: If a contract is made by post between two persons living in two different cities, then the
contract is said to be complete as soon as the letter of acceptance is properly posted, and the place
of completion of the contract is that city where acceptance is posted. It is worth mentioning here
that in every contract there is always an offer from one party and the acceptance of the offer from
the other party. 
Facts: Sani, a resident of Patna, gives an offer by post to sell his house for Rs. 25 lacs to Hani, a
resident of Allahabad. This offer letter is posted on 1st January 2013 from Patna and reaches
Allahabad on 7th January 2013. Hani accepts this offer and posts the letter of acceptance on 8th
January 2013 from Allahabad which reaches Patna on 16th January 2013. But Sani presuming that
Hani is not interested in accepting his offer, sells his house to Gani at same price on 15th of January,
2013. Hani files a suit against Sani for the breach of contract in the competent court of Allahabad.
Whether Hani will succeed?

complete the same within one year from the date of the contract. This contract includes two very
important terms. According to first term if there is price hike of the materials to be used in the
construction, then the escalation charges at a particular rate shall be payable by P to S. According
to second term if the construction of the house is not completed within the period prescribed for 




it, then S will have to pay penalty at a particular rate to P. Before the completion of the construction
work the workers of S go on strike and strike continues up to three months even after the expiry of
one year. After that period workers return and the construction work again starts. During the last
three months period of strike there was a considerable rise in the price of the building material. S
claimed escalation cost from P. P did not agree to it. S filed a suit in the court of law either to order
the payment of the price of the building material on the basis of escalated price or to allow him to
stop the work without incurring any penal liability towards P. A. S will succeed as strike by his
workers was unexpected and beyond his control. 
B. S can succeed as there is an escalation clause in the contract 
C. S can not succeed as he has failed to complete the construction work in time and strike can not
be treated as a valid excuse for delay in work. D. S can succeed if he pays penalty to P for

the children of the centre on the rotation basis to work for four hour a day in some nearby
chemical and hazardous factories. When P comes to know about this new development, he asks

reasonable care was taken while carrying out the act or omission in question. 
Facts: Hari is carrying on a chemical and fertilizer industry near a bank of a river. In order to prevent
and control any kind of harm to the environment, suitable waste treatment and disposal plants were
installed in the factory. Due to some sudden mechanical/ technical problem, these plants ceased to
work properly and, therefore, caused environmental pollution, which ultimately caused substantial

will of the other party, the contract is enforceable only at the option of the party whose will was so
dominated.

The spread of education in society is at the foundation of success in countries that are latecomers to
development. In the quest for development, primary education is absolutely essential because it creates the
base. But higher education is just as important, for it provides the cutting edge. And universities are the
life-blood of higher education. Islands of excellence in professional education. such as Indian Institutes of
Technology (IITs) and Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), are valuable complements but-cannot be
substitutes for universities which provide educational opportunities for people at large.

There can be no doubt that higher education has made a significant contribution to economic development,
social progress and political democracy in independent India. It is a source of dynamism for the economy.
It has created social opportunities for people. It has fostered the vibrant democracy in our polity. It has
provided a beginning for the creation of a knowledge society. But it would be a mistake to focus on its
strengths alone. It has weaknesses that are a cause for serious concern.

There is, in fact, a quiet crisis in higher education in India that runs deep. It is not yet discernible simply
because there are pockets of excellence. an enormous reservoir of talented young people and an intense
competition in the admissions process. And. in some important spheres. we continue to reap the benefits
of what was sown in higher education 50 years ago by the founding fathers of the Republic. The reality is
that we have miles to go. The proportion of our population, in the age group 18-24 . that enters the world
of higher education is around 7 per cent, which is only one-half the average for Asia. The opportunities for
higher education, in terms of the number of places in universities. are simply not enough in relation to our
needs. What is more, the quality of higher education in most of our universities requires substantial
improvement.

It is clear that the system of higher education in India faces serious challenges. It needs a systematic
overhaul, so that we can educate much larger numbers without diluting academic standards. This is
imperative because the transformation of economy and society in the 21st century would depend, in
significant part, on the spread and the quality of education among our people, particularly in the sphere of
higher education. It is only an inclusive society that can provide the foundations for a knowledge society.
The challenges that confront higher education in India are clear. It needs a massive expansion of
opportunities for higher education. to 1500 universities nationwide, that would enable India to attain a gross
enrolment ratio of at least 15 per cent by 2015. It is just as important to raise the average quality of higher
education in every sphere. At the same time, it is essential to create institutions that are exemplars of
excellence at par with the best in the world. In the pursuit of these objectives, providing people with access
to higher education in a socially inclusive manner is imperative. The realisation of these objectives,
combined with access, would not only develop the skills and capabilities we need for the economy but
would also help transform India into a knowledge economy and society.

LEGAL APTIUDE



Directions for Questions 151 to 200: This section consists of fifty (50) questions. Each question consists
of legal propositions/principles (hereinafter referred to as ‘principle’) and facts. These principles have
to be applied to the given facts to arrive at the most reasonable conclusion. Such principles may or may
not be true in the real sense, yet you have to conclusively assume them to be true for the purposes of this
section. In other words, in answering the following questions, you must not rely on any principles except
the principles that are given herein below for every question. Further, you must not assume any facts
other than those stated in the question. The objective of this section is to test your interest towards study
of law, research aptitude and problem solving ability even if the ‘most reasonable conclusion’ arrived at
may be unacceptable for any other reason. It is not the object of this section to test your knowledge of
law.

151) Principle: 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
proposal. The expression of willingness/desire results in a valid proposal only when it is made/addressed
to some person(s).
Facts: ‘X’ makes the following statement in an uninhabited hall: ‘I’ wish to sell my mobile phone for
ǭl,000.’

(B) made a statement that resulted in a proposal
(C) ‘X’ made a statement that did not result in any proposal ( D) made a statement that resulted in an
agreement

152) Principle: A proposal (offer) should be made with an intention that after its valid acceptance. a legally
binding promise or agreement will be created. The test for the determination of such intention is not
subjective, rather it is objective. The intention of the parties is to be ascertained from the terms of the
agreement and the surrounding circumstances under which such an agreement is entered into. As a general
rule, in the case of arrangements regulating social relations, it follows as a matter of course that the parties
do not intend legal consequences to follow. On the contrary, as a general rule, in the case of arrangements
regulating business affairs, it follows as a matter of course that the parties intend legal consequences to
follow. However, the above rules are just presumptive in nature, and hence, can be rebutted.

Facts: One morning while having breakfast. ‘X’, the father, says to ‘Y’ (X's son), in a casual manner,

153) Principle: 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.



Facts: ‘X’ made an offer to buy Y’s property for a stipulated price. ‘Y’ accepted it and communicated his
acceptance to ‘Z’, a stranger.

(A) Y’s acceptance resulted in an agreement

(B) Y’s acceptance did not result in any agreement
(C) Y’s acceptance resulted in a contract
(D) Y’s acceptance resulted in a promise

154) Principle: Acceptance should be made while the offer is still subsisting. The offeror is free to retract
his offer at any time before his offer gets accepted by the offeree. Once the offer is withdrawn or is lapsed,
it is not open to be accepted so as to give rise to a contract. Similarly, if a time is prescribed within which
the offer is to be accepted, then, the offer must be accepted within the prescribed time. And. if no time is
prescribed, then, the acceptance must be made within a reasonable time. ‘What is a reasonable time’ is a
question of fact which is to be determined by taking into account all the relevant facts and surrounding
circumstances.

Facts: ‘X’ makes an offer to ‘Y’ to sell his equipment for ǭ1,000.00. No time is specified for the acceptance.

(C) There does not arise any contract between ‘A’ and ‘B’ to sell/buy the camera in question (D) There
arises a voidable contract between ‘A’ and ‘B’ to sell/buy the camera in question

156) Principle: A contract which is duly supported by real and lawful consideration is valid
notwithstanding the fact that the consideration is inadequate. The quantum of consideration is for the parties
to decide at the time of making a contract, and not for the courts (to decide) when the contract is sought to
be enforced. An agreement to which the consent of the promisor is freely given is not void merely because
the consideration is inadequate; but the inadequacy of the consideration may be taken into account by the
Court in determining the question whether the consent of the promisor was freely given.

Q13. Develop Critical Thinking

The way we see the world and relate to others is intrinsically connected to our own set of values
that govern the way we decide to live. However, the influence of fashion, consumerism, pop
culture, broken homes, social unrest, and the media is all-pervasive. For many people, teachers
and students alike, this influence goes unquestioned. Critical thinking, if successfully taught at
this level, becomes the antidote for individual and social illiteracy. For the authors, critical
thinking should constitute an indivisible part of the overall educational process. Facione (1995)
comments: „Critical thinking lies at the root of civilisation. It is a cornerstone in the journey
humankind is taking from beastly savagery to global sensitivity‟.

Supporting the development of these skills involves reflective teaching and learning, which is
highly complex and which some students may find difficult, or interpret as weakness on the part
of the teacher. But in the long run, with patience on the part of the teacher, it will develop
students who can view old or new material, from a variety of sources, through new eyes, using
their skills to define their own stance and express it, often better in their second language, with
an open-minded confidence.

a) The world view of the human being today is influenced by a lot of things. Critical
thinking cannot be taught as it involves reflective teaching and could be
misunderstood.
b) Critical thinking must be part of an individual‟s education but it is a difficult concept
because it very often reflects a teacher as a dominating individual

c) Critical thinking is an important aspect of an individual’s literacy level and his

social knowhow. It is part of civilization and eventually leads to global sensitivity.
Students can look at information in a variety of ways.
d) Reflective teaching is another aspect of initial thinking and it could lead to individual
and social illiteracy.

Direction: Four alternative summaries are given in the text: Choose the option that best captures
the essence of the text.

Q14. The construct of democracy rests on informed choice and governance on informed policy. Answers
to critical questions are stranded in the arena of claims and counter claims. Measures of progress
are simply not known or available . The debate to job creation is a mystery of sorts. The public are
not aware that the Center and States spend crores on education, health and social services. Take
education. Barely a few of ClassV students can read a Class II text, the poor are switching to
private schools and over 33% of million-plus schools do not maintain a feasible pupil teacher ratio.

A) Being informed is an important aspect of any democracy. This information is not available

statements given with that particular question, is consistent with the information given in the
passage below.

A Holistic Viewpoint

It is now recognised by modern science that the universe at the subatomic level does not have solid
material objects, but consists of only wavelike patterns which represent probabilities of interconnections
between other interconnections, all of which together constitute an inseparable web of inter-relationships
constituting the entire universe. Fritj of Capra therefore, views the universe not as “an assemblage of
independent parts” but as “a dynamic web of inter-related events” in which each part of the web
determines the structure of the whole. Geoffrey Chew views such inter-penetrating and interdependent
relationships in the universe in terms of a “bootstrap” theory which implies that all forces in the universe
are inseparably linked together, every part affects every other part, and the whole world is held together
so to say, by bootstraps. David Bohm refers to a holographic concept which implies not only that every
part is connected with every other part within the whole but also that, in a sense, each part contains the
whole. This, according to David Bohm, recognises the “Undivided wholeness” of the entire universe
instead of the classical idea of analysability of the world into separately and independently existent parts.

Case Question with 10 Questions

Direction: Read the passage given below. Choose the best option for the question.

IOT has had an impact across all fields, be it industries, government, small or large businesses
and even for Personal Consumption.
What is IOT (Internet of things) you might ask. It‟s been a growing topic of conversation for
some time now. Put in the simplest term it means anything that has an on and off button and is
connected to the internet for receiving, analyzing, storing or sending data. This could mean
anything, from the watch that you wear to airplanes that can be controlled from a remote
location. According to the analyst firm Gartner, by the year 2020 we‟ll have over 26 billion
connected devices. That could mean people to people, people connected to things and things
connected to things. The new rule of the future is going to be “Anything that can be connected
will be connected”. Take for example that when you set an alarm to wake up and that alarm goes
off it not only wakes you up but also brews your coffee, sets the right temperature of water for
your bath, puts on the television to bring you the latest updates from around the globe and all this
before you even put a foot out of your bed. This is all done by simply getting the network of
interconnected things/devices that have embedded sensors, network connectivity, software and
necessary electronics that collect and exchange data.
To show how far we have come with technology and connectivity, we have smart watches such
as Fitbit, Garmin to name a few that have changed the way we look at time. We have one device
that not only tells us the time but also tracks the number of steps, calories and our heart rate. This
watch is actually connected to our phone so with just one turn of the wrist one can tell who is
calling or what messages have been received without having to dig through pockets or handbags.

IOT is making its presence felt in health care as well. Doctors can now remotely monitor and
communicate with their patients and health care providers can benefit from this. Whether data
comes from foetal monitors, electrocardiograms, temperature monitors or blood glucose levels,
tracking this information is vital for some patients. Many of this requires follow up interaction
with healthcare professionals. With smarter devices that deliver more valuable data it can reduce
the need for direct patient- physician interaction.

Take for instance in the sporting field, minute chips are being attached to balls and bats which
will transmit information of how fast the ball is travelling and a batsman‟s moves, the time, the
angles, the pressure on the bat at different positions, data of the muscle stretch if he‟s hit a six so
on and so forth. Formula one cars are also being fitted with these sensors which relays
information on the minute moves being made by the driver. Chips are also being put into
wearable devices of sportsmen to detect sub-optimal action of any body parts to show signs of
stress or strain which will help in the early detection of injuries and take preventive measures.
IOT has had an impact across all fields, be it industries, government, small or large business and
even for personal consumption. IBM, Google, Intel, Microsoft and Cisco are some of the top
players in the IOT spectrum.

With billions of devices connected security becomes a big issue. How can people make sure that
their data is safe and secure? This is one of the major concerns in the IOT that becomes a hot
topic. Another issue is with all these billions of devices sharing data companies will be faced
with the problem of how to store, track, analyse and make vast sense of the information being
generated. Companies are monitoring the network segment to identify anomalous traffic and to
take action if necessary.

Now that we have a fair understanding of IOT let‟s see what impact it‟s had on the education
sector. The only constant in our lives is change and learning. From the get go we learn, be it to
the walk, talk or run. We adapt to the changing times and constantly learn from it. Education or
learning as we know it in the broader sense is the most important of all and the one that decides
which way we handle those changes to impact us and the world.
Today‟s world is fast paced and to keep up with this we need an infusion of speed with learning.
From the classroom assignments, lectures, blackboards and chalk we have come a long way to
what is now known as e-learning (electronic learning) or m-learning (mobile learning). With the
GenNext it is imperative to provide the right kind of education.

The rise of technology and IOT allows schools to improve the safety of their campuses, keep
track of resources and enhance access to information. It ensures data quality being the top
priority but also facilitates development of content allowing teachers to use this technology to
create smart lesson plans and ensuring the reach of this content to any corner of the world.
