1. B
Spurred by the Unnikrishnan judgment and a public demand to enforce the right to education,
successive governments from 1993 worked towards bringing a constitutional amendment to
make education a fundamental right. That led to the 86th amendment in December 2002 which
inserted the article 21A in the Constitution:
Right to education (21A):- The State shall provide free and compulsory education to all children
of the age of six to fourteen years in such manner as the State may, by law, determine."

The Leader of the Opposition is the politician who leads the official opposition in either House
of the Parliament of India. The post received statutory recognition through the Salary and
Allowances of Leaders of Opposition in Parliament Act, 1977 which defines the term "Leader of
the Opposition" as that member of the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha who, for the time being, is
the Leader of that House of the Party in Opposition to the Government having the greatest
numerical strength and recognised, as such, by the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha or the Speaker
of the Lok Sabha. As in the given question Alphabet “L” and “O” are given in capital that could
mean that the question is referring to recognized opposition leader and thus the answer would
be C i.e. Y. B. Chavan.
The second possibility is the opposition leader of 1st lok sabha was A. K. Gopalan, until then the
post of opposition of leader was not recognized.

Opposition leader.

amendments which allow this to happen.

The word Quo-Warranto literally means "by what warrants?" or "what is your authority"? It is a
writ issued with a view to restrain a person from holding a public office to which he is not
entitled. The writ requires the concerned person to explain to the Court by what authority he
holds the office. If a person has usurped a public office, the Court may direct him not to carry
out any activities in the office or may announce the office to be vacant. Thus High Court may
issue a writ of quo-warranto if a person holds an office beyond his retirement age.

Question 79-83
1) “Negligence of child right” is coded as “ mi ki va se”
2) “education of child” is coded as “ki de va”
3) “abusive environment of child” is coded as “va li ki fo”
4) “effective environment of child” is coded as “ki li re va”

The code “ki va” is common is all of the code with word “of child”.
education – “de”
By comparing (3) and (4) we can conclude that “environment” -> “li”
In 4th code what left is “Effective” -> “re”

79. A – the ambiguity in (ki va) = (of child) is saved purely by options in Q 83

Let the total amount of work to be done is 120 units.
Ram can finish the work in 60 days, so his per day work is 2 units.
Similarly, Sohan can finish the work in 40 days, so hid per day work is 3 units.
Working together the work done per day by Sohan and Ram=2+3=5 unit
To complete 120 units of work they together takes 120/5= 24 days.

87. B
Let‟s consider the cost price for Geeta be „x‟.
as given in the question,
(80*x)/100= 800

 Let‟s consider the actual price of watch be „w‟
(80 * w)/100 = 1000
w=1250
Thus the actual cost of the watch is Rs. 1,250.

88. B
As given in the question,
Speed= 60 km/hr = 50/3 m/sec
Time=120 sec
Distance= L1+L2= 800+x
Using the formula, Speed=Distance/Time
50/3= (800+x)/120
2000= 800+x
Therefore, x=1200
The length of the bridge is 1200 meters.

89. D
Let‟s consider the price of both pens were „x‟ and „y‟.
A given in the question
x+y=65…..(1)
x+y= (107*x)/100 + (94 * y )/100
6500 = 107x + 94(65-x)
6500 = 107x + 94*65 – 94x
6500 = 6110 +13x
390=13x
x=30
y=65-30=35
Therefore, the cost of the two pens are 30 and 35.
