Answer Key with explanations


1. (d) The garbage was first sundried for one to three days to bring down the moisture level.
2. (b) Women like to be flattered by men.
3. (a) What must be done, must be done properly.
4. (d) Let the poll results be looked at-is hope inspired by them?
5. (c) You are supposed to make tea at eleven O’clock.
6. (a) In Voice change, one can transform the sentence from Active to Passive or Vice versa,
but can’t change the sense. That is, one can’t remove the information conveyed through the
sentence or add any additional information. That is the transformation must be done keeping
the information intact. That is the reason behind selecting (a) as the answer.
7. (a) “People speak English” can be transformed into Passive form thus-
“English is spoken by the people”
So, in Passive from, the sentence stands thus-
“English is spoken by the people all over the world.
In this type of sentence, we need not use “by the people”.
For example
People call him Mahatma. (Active)
He is called Mahatma. (Passive)
So the answer is (a).
8. (a) The Auxiliary Verb that should be used with you is were and not was. Again, as the
given sentence is an Interrogative sentence, in Passive form also, the sentence will be
Interrogative, that is inn Verb + Subject form. Keeping these two conditions in mind, if we
judge the given options we find option (a) correct.
9. (b) The transformation follows the simple rules related to the transformation of an
Assertive Sentence.
10. (b) The given sentence is in Passive form. Here subject is “the shops” and object is
“Men, women and children”.
So, a sentence where “the shops” is used as the object and “men, women and children” is
used as the Subject should be chosen as the answer. Here also, we should not miss any
information supplied in the original sentence.
11. (b) It is known to us all that there is only one God.
12. (b) He was elected Mayor by the people.
13. (b) Let me be not laughed at.
14. (b) He was seen leaving the house by me.
15. (d) The bull was pulled violently.
16. c. Section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act –
138. Dishonour of cheque for insufficiency, etc, of funds in the account. Where any cheque
drawn by a person on an account maintained by him with a banker for payment of any
amount of money to another person from out of that account for the discharge, in whole or in
part, of any debt or other liability, is returned by the bank unpaid, either because of the
amount of money standing to the credit of that account is insufficient to honour the cheque or
that it exceeds the amount arranged to be paid from that account by an agreement made with
that bank, such person shall be deemed to have committed an offence and shall, without
prejudice to any other provisions of this Act, be punished with imprisonment for a term
which may be extended to two years , or with fine which may extend to twice the amount of
the cheque, or with both: Provided that nothing contained in this section shall apply unless-
(a) the cheque has been presented to the bank within a period of six months from the date on
which it is drawn or within the period of its validity, whichever is earlier; (b) the payee or the
holder in due course of the cheque, as the case may be, makes a demand for the payment of
the said amount of money by giving a notice in writing, to the drawer of the cheque, within
thirty days of the receipt of information by him from the bank regarding the return of the
cheque as unpaid; and (c) the drawer of such cheque fails to make the payment of the said
amount of money to the payee or, as the case may be, to the holder in due course of the
cheque, within fifteen days of the receipt of the said notice. ExplanationFor the purposes of
this section, “debt or other liability” means a legally enforceable debt or other liability.
17. c Generally, documents comprises of the following elements –

Matter, Record, Substance and Means. It does not include object.

18. b Section 124 of Contract Act –

124. "Contract of indemnity" defined. A contract by which one party promises to save the
other from loss caused to him by the contract of the promisor himself, or by the conduct of
any other person, is called a "contract of indemnity".

19. b It can be said that a contract of indemnity is a contingent contract as contingent means
conditional, something which is dependent or subject to the happening a particular event. As
from the definition it is clear that it refers to contract by which one party promises to save the
other party from loss caused to him by the conduct of the promisor himself or any other
person. As, the contract is based on the happening of a particular conduct which may be
expressed or implied thus it can be said that a contract of indemnity is a contingent contract.
That is it provides for a back up in case of happening of a particular event.

20. c RIGHT TO RECOVER SUMS PAID UNDER COMPROMISE [SECTION 125(3)]:


An indemnity-holder also has the right to recover from the indemnifier all sums which he
may have paid under the terms of any compromise of any such suit, if the compromise was
not contrary to the orders of the promisor, and was one which it would have been prudent for
the promisee to make in the absence of any contract of indemnity, or if the promisor
authorized him to compromise the suit.

21. b Section 131 of Indian Contract Act- Revocation of continuing guarantee by surety’
death.

The death of the surety operates, in the absence of any contract to the contrary, as a
revocation of ma continuing guarantee, so far as regards future transactions

22. (d) Section 25(2) of the Indian Contract Act –


25. Agreement without consideration, void, unless it is in writing and registered or is a
promise to compensate for something done or is a promise to pay a debt barred by limitation
law. An agreement made without consideration is void, unless- (1) It is expressed in writing
and registered under the law for the time being in force for the registration of documents, and
is made on account of natural love and affection between parties standing in a near relation to
each other; or unless.

(2) It is a promise to compensate, wholly or in part, a person who has already voluntarily
done something for the promisor, or something which the promisor was legally compellable
to do; or unless. (3) It is a promise, made in writing and signed by the person to be charged
therewith or by his agent generally or specially authorised in that behalf, to pay wholly or in
part debt of which the creditor might have enforced payment but for the law for the limitation
of suits. In any of these cases, such an agreement is a contract.

Explanation 1- Nothing in this section shall affect the validity, as between the donor and
donee, of any gift actually made.

Explanation 2- 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.

23. (d) It has been laid down by the Supreme Court, in Gherulal Parekh v.Mahadeo Das[xii]
that though a wager is void and unenforceable it is not forbidden by law .Hence a wagering
agreement is not unlawful under section 23 of the Contract Act and therefore the transactions
collateral to the main transaction are enforceable.

As Section 30 of the Indian Contract Act is based upon the provisions of Section 18 of the
Gaming Act, 1845, and though a wager is void and unenforceable, it is not forbidden by law
and therefore the object of a collateral agreement is not unlawful under Section 23 of the
Contract Act.

24. (b) Section 29 of the Indian Contract Act –

29. Agreements void for uncertainty. Agreements, the meaning of which is not certain, or
capable of being made certain, are void.
25. (a) Section 56 of Transfer of Property Act – Marshalling by subsequent purchaser
and Section 81- Marshalling Securities
Section 56. Marshalling by subsequent purchaser. If the owner of two or more properties
mortgages them to one person and then sells one or more of the properties to another person,
the buyer is, in the absence of a contract to the contrary, entitled to have the mortgaged-debt
satisfied out of the property or properties not sold to him, so far as the same will extend, but
not so as to prejudice the rights of the mortgagee or persons claiming under him or of any
other person who has for consideration acquired an interest in any of the properties.
Section 81. Marshalling, securities. If the owner of two or more properties mortgages them to
one person and then mortgages one or more of the properties to another person, the
subsequent mortgagee is, in the absence of a contract to the contrary, entitled to have the
prior mortgage-debt satisfied out of the property or properties not mortgaged to him, so far as
the same will extend, but not so as to prejudice the rights of the prior mortgagee or of any
other person who has for consideration acquired an interest in any of the properties.

26. (a) Section 67 of Transfer of Property Act –


67. Right to fore-closure or sale. In the absence of a contract to the contrary, the mortgagee
has, at any time after the mortgage-money has become due to him, and before a decree has
been made for the redemption of the mortgaged property, or the mortgage money has been
paid or deposited as hereinafter provided, a right to obtain from the Court a decree that the
mortgagor shall be absolutely debarred of his right to redeem the property, or a decree that
the property be sold. A suit to obtain a decree that a mortgagor shall be absolutely debarred of
his right to redeem the mortgaged property is called a suit for foreclosure. Nothing in this
section shall be deemed- (a) to authorise any mortgagee other than a mortgagee by
conditional sale or a mortgagee under an anomalous mortgage by the terms of which he is
entitled to foreclose, to institute a suit for foreclosure, or an usufructuary mortgagee as such
or a mortgagee by conditional sale as such to institute a suit for sale; or (b) to authorise a
mortgagor who holds the mortgagee’s rights as his trustee or legal representative, and who
may sue for a sale of the property, to institute a suit for foreclosure; or (c) to authorise the
mortgagee of a railway, canal, or other work in the maintenance of which the public are
interested, to institute a suit for foreclosure or sale; or (d) to authorise a person interested in
part only of the mortgage-money to institute a suit relating only to a corresponding part of the
mortgaged property, unless the mortgagees have, with the consent of the mortgagor, severed
their interests under the mortgage.
27. (c) Section 43 of Transfer of Property Act

43. Transfer by unauthorised person who subsequently acquires interest in property


transferred. Where a person fraudulently or erroneously represents that he is authorised to
transfer certain immoveable property and professes to transfer such property for
consideration, such transfer shall, at the option of the transferee, operate on any interest
which the transferor may acquire in such property at any time during which the contract of
transfer subsists. Nothing in this section shall impair the right of transferees in good faith for
consideration without notice of the existence of the said option

by any party, the party who suffers by such breach shall have the option of substituted
performance through a third party or by his own agency, and, recover the expenses and other
costs actually incurred, spent or suffered by him, from the party committing such breach. (2)

agreement: Provided that the plaintiff has not failed to perform the contract so far as it is
binding on him.

94. Act to which a person is compelled by threats. Except murder, and offences against the
State punishable with death, nothing is an offence which is done by a person who is
compelled to do it by threats, which, at the time of doing it, reasonably cause the
apprehension that instant death to that person will otherwise be the consequence: Provided
the person doing the act did not of his own accord, or from a reasonable apprehension of
harm to himself short of instant death, place himself in the situation by which he became
subject to such constraint.

Explanation 1- A person who, of his own accord, or by reason of a threat of being beaten,
joins a gang of dacoits, knowing their character, is not entitled to the benefit of this
exception, on the ground of his having been compelled by his associates to do anything that is
an offence by law. Explanation 2- A person seized by a gang of dacoits, and forced, by threat
of instant death, to do a thing which is an offence by law; for example, a smith compelled to
take his tools and to force the door of a house for the dacoits to enter and plunder it, is

shall lie to the court to which appeals ordinarily lie from the sentences of the former court. (3)
In any case where any person under twenty-one years of age is found guilty of having
committed an offence and the court by which he is found guilty declines to deal with him
under section 3 or section 4, and passes against him any sentence of imprisonment with or
without fine from which no appeal lies or is preferred, then, notwithstanding anything
contained in the Code or any other law, the court to which appeals ordinarily lie from the
sentences of the former court may, either of its own motion or on an application made to it by
the convicted person or the probation officer, call for and examine the record of the case and
pass such order thereon as it thinks fit. (4) When an order has been made under section 3 or
section 4 in respect of an offender, the Appellate Court or the High Court in the exercise of
its power of revision may set aside such order and in lieu thereof pass sentence on such
offender according to law:
Provided that the Appellate Court or the High Court in revision shall not inflict a
greater punishment than might have been inflicted by the court by which the offender
was found guilty.
