Awareness covering Constitutional Law and Polity
Enhancing your logical reasoning skills involves refining your ability to draw conclusions based on evi-
dence and avoiding personal biases. Here are several strategies to improve your logical reasoning:
Gather study materials specific to the legal reasoning section. Look for books or resources that
cover the legal concepts tested in the exam. In this eBook, we have covered all the chapters and
concepts that can come in the exam.
Focus on understanding fundamental legal concepts and principles. Pay attention to topics such
as Contracts, Torts, Constitutional law, and Lehal Maxims
Legal reasoning often involves analytical and critical thinking. Practice solving logical puzzles,
critical reasoning questions, and scenarios to enhance these skills.
Legal Vocabulary:
Build a strong foundation in legal vocabulary. Familiarize yourself with legal terms, phrases, and
terminology commonly used.
Stay updated on current legal affairs and developments. This knowledge can be beneficial for
questions related to recent legal events.
Familiarize yourself with important legal maxims and landmark case laws, as they may be rele-
vant to legal reasoning questions.
Emphasize Practice:
Achieving proficiency in math requires more than just reading or listening. Actively engage
in problem-solving to enhance your skills. The more problems you solve, the better equipped
you’ll be. Practice different problem-solving approaches to build versatility.
Address Doubts:
When stuck on a part of a problem, resist the urge to skip it. Take the time to comprehend
the solution process. Once you understand the initial problem, use it as a foundation to prog-
ress through the entire question. Math mastery requires time, patience, and a willingness to
confront challenges.
Active Reading: Read passages actively, engaging with the content rather than passively
scanning. Highlight key points and take notes.
Identify Main Ideas: Focus on identifying the main idea of each paragraph and the overall
theme of the passage.
Practice Skimming and Scanning: Develop skimming (quickly looking through the text for
the main ideas) and scanning (searching for specific information) skills.
Underline Keywords: Underline or highlight keywords and phrases that convey the central
meaning of the passage.
Answering Techniques: Practice different question types such as inference, main idea,
tone, and detail-oriented questions.
Flashcards for Identification can be used for parts of speech : Create flashcards for each
part of speech with examples. Test yourself regularly.
Sentence Structure: Practice structuring of the sentences to visually understand the struc-
ture. This can be particularly useful for complex sentences.
Error Spotting Exercises: Work on error spotting exercises to identify common mistakes in
sentences.
Create Word Maps: Create word maps connecting roots, prefixes, and suffixes to their
meanings. This will help you understand the origins of words.
Memorize Common Prefixes and Suffixes: Memorize common prefixes and suffixes to
decode unfamiliar words.
Simulate Exam Conditions: Take full-length mock tests to simulate the exam environment,
including time constraints.
Review Mistakes: After each mock test, thoroughly review your mistakes. Understand why
you got a question wrong and how to avoid similar errors in the future.
Time Management: Practice managing your time effectively during the full-length mock
tests. Allocate time for each section based on its weightage.
Know the syllabus: Familiarise yourself with the MH CET Law syllabus to understand
1 the topics that may be covered in the GK section. This will help you organise your
study plan.
Read newspapers and magazines: Develop the habit of routinely reading newspapers
like The Hindu, The Economic Times, The Indian Express, etc and periodicals to be
informed about current affairs and significant occurrences. Concentrate on politics,
Economics, Sports, Science, and Technology, as well as local and global news.
2
Follow reliable websites: Follow reliable news websites and portals to get access
3 to the latest information. Websites like GKtoday, The Hindu, The Indian Express and
several others like these are popular for their comprehensive news coverage.
Watch news channels: Watch news channels regularly to understand current affairs
and important issues. This will also help you improve your knowledge about national
and international events.
4
Solve previous years’ papers: To comprehend the test format and the kinds of ques-
5 tions asked in the GK portion, solve sample papers. You can use this to find your
areas of weakness and strengthen them.
Take online quizzes and mock tests: Take online quizzes and mock tests specifically
designed to assess your knowledge and improve your speed and accuracy. This will
also help you get accustomed to the exam environment.
6
Use online resources: Utilise online resources like GK websites, PDF study materials,

LOGICAL REASONING
1-A
A cause and effect relationship indicates that one event (the cause) leads to another
event (the effect). In this case, the increase in temperature causes the ice to melt.
2-B
The premise is a statement that provides evidence or support for the conclusion. In this
argument, "The streets are wet" is the premise upon which the conclusion "Therefore, it
must be raining" is based.
3-C
The conclusion is the statement that follows logically from the premises. In this
argument, the conclusion is "Therefore, whales have hair," which is drawn from the
premises "All mammals have hair" and "Whales are mammals."
4-A
A premise is a statement that provides the basis for an argument or inference. In this
case, "Birds fly because they have wings" is a premise because it offers a reason or
explanation for why birds fly.
5-B
A cause and effect relationship indicates that one event leads to another. In this case,
the cause is sunlight, and the effect is the growth of plants.
6-C
According to the above-given statement,
Therefore, from the above, we can say that the third option satisfies the statement.
Hence, the third option is correct.
7-A
According to the given statement, let's analyze the conclusions
Conclusion I: People who earn enough money are happier.
Economic security refers to the ability of people to earn and fulfill their essential needs
in life which in turn makes people happier and this even influences their personality as
per the given statement.
Conclusion II: To have a good personality people should be economically sound.
According to the given statement, personality is dependent on people being happy and
fulfilling their basic needs. Being economically sound alone would not contribute to a
better personality.
Therefore, the correct answer is only the Conclusion I follow. Hence, the first option is
correct.
8-B
As per the instructions given, the family tree will be –
Now, we see that Maya's mother is the sister of Ranjeet's brother. So, Ranjeet's brother
is the maternal uncle of Maya. Hence, the second option is correct.
So, from the above family tree, it is clear that Byomkesh, Abhishek, and Jackie are
siblings and Ella is the wife of Vimal. Hence, the first option is correct.
10-C
According to the given information, the family tree is as follows –
Here, the circular figure represents the female and the quadrilateral represents the male
in the figure.
So, from the above family tree, P is the uncle of N. Hence, the third option is correct.
(ii) Q is sitting to the immediate right and immediate left of P and T, respectively. S is not
sitting at the extreme end.
12-C
Given:
1. Cutting 2. Dish 3. Vegetable 4. Market 5. Cooking
LEGAL REASONING
13-C
Section 302 of IPC 1860 deals with murder. In this scenario, the intentional act of
administering a lethal poison to cause death fits the criteria for culpable homicide
amounting to murder.
15-C
The principle of double jeopardy prevents individuals from being retried for the same
offense once they have been acquitted, regardless of new evidence. Option B is correct.
16-C
The principle of double jeopardy prohibits an individual from being tried again for the
same offense. Even if the charge is under a different section of the law, the core incident
remains the same. Therefore, Option C is correct.
17-A
In India, individuals can approach the High Court for the violation of fundamental rights
as guaranteed by the Constitution. High Courts have the jurisdiction to hear writ
petitions related to fundamental rights. Therefore, Option A is correct.
18-B
In the hierarchy of the Indian judiciary, appeals from lower courts, except certain cases,
typically go to the High Court of the respective state or union territory. Therefore, Option
B is correct.
19-B
The doctrine of privity of contract states that only parties to the original contract can
enforce its terms. Since C was not a party to the original contract between A and B, A
cannot enforce the contract against C. Option B is correct.
20-B
The doctrine of privity of contract generally prevents a third party, in this case, the client,
from suing a subcontractor with whom they do not have a direct contractual relationship.
Option B is correct.
21-B
The doctrine of frustration applies when an unforeseen event occurs, making it
impossible to fulfill the contract's obligations. In this scenario, the unexpected
government regulations have frustrated the contract, as the construction company can
no longer complete the project as initially agreed upon. This is distinct from a mistake,
22-A
Family courts typically prioritize the best interests of the children when deciding custody
disputes. While the historical Maternal Preference Doctrine and Father's Right Doctrine
have been challenged, the modern approach focuses on ensuring the well-being and
stability of the children, considering factors such as their relationship with each parent,
living arrangements, and the ability to provide a nurturing environment.
23-A
In cases where one spouse has made significant career sacrifices for the benefit of the
other, reimbursement alimony may be awarded. This principle acknowledges the
financial sacrifice made during the marriage and aims to compensate the disadvantaged
spouse for their contributions, even if the division of assets is not strictly equal.
24-A
Courts may invalidate a prenuptial agreement if it is deemed unconscionable, meaning
it is excessively unfair or one-sided. To be enforceable, prenuptial agreements should
be entered into voluntarily, with full disclosure of assets, and should not be so one-sided
that enforcing them would lead to an unconscionable result.
ANALYTICAL REASONING
25-B
Given:
pp _ _ qp _ pqq _ pqq _ _ qq _ q
To fill the series we have to divide the series – pp_ _q / p_pqq / _pqq_ / _qq_q
Let's check the options –
First option: qqpqpqp; ppqqq / pppqq / qpqqp / qqqpq (No repeated pattern has been
found)
Second option: ppppqpq; ppppq / pppqq / ppqqq / pqqqq (The pattern in the series is
that p decreases by 1 and q increases by 1 when moving from one part to another.)
Third option: qqpqpqp; ppqqq / pppqq / qpqqp / qqqpq (No repeated pattern has been
found)
Fourth option: qqqpppq; ppqqq / pqpqq / ppqqp / pqqqq (No repeated pattern has been
found)
So, the series becomes → ppppqpppqqppqqqpqqqq. Hence, the second option is
correct.
We know that
am/s = a×185 km/h
25 m/s = 25185 km/h = 90 km/h
27-A
Given that
Speed of boat = x = 8 km/h
Speed of stream = y = 4 km/h
Speed of upstream = (x-y) = 8 – 4 = 4 km/h
28-A
Method 1 : work done by A in 1 day = 1/10
29-A
therefore the part of tank filled by both A and B together = 1/10 + 1/15 =1/6
This method can also be used if there are more than 2 inlet pipes.
Hence we find that the problems of pipes and cisterns can be solved almost in the same
manner as time and work.
The man got replaced by pipe and time taken by man is replaced by time taken by pipe
to fill a tank.

31-B
Ratio if Ages = 9 : 5

Given:
96 L 4 K 6 M 11 D 9 = ?
So, 117 is the required answer to the given equation. Hence, the first option is the
correct.
33-A
Given:
672, 666, 660, 654, ?
Here, subtract 6 from each number to get the next number.
672 – 6 = 666; 666 – 6 = 660; 660 – 6 = 654; 654 – 6 = 648
648 is the missing number of the series. Hence, the first option is correct.
34-C
Given:
_ yzaa _ y _ xy _ aazy _
First, divide the series before filling it→_ yz/ aa/ _ y _/ xy _/ aa/ zy _
Now, check the order of the letters in the given series→xyz / aa / zyx / xyz / aa / zyx
(xyzaazyx is repeated in the series.)

The option with a grammatical error in the underlined portion is the second option i.e.
"When Mrs. Sinha came to see Varanasi in 2019, Nupur has already been teaching
there for five years."
The past perfect tense ("had already been teaching") is used to indicate an action that
was completed before another past action (Mrs. Sinha coming to Varanasi). In the
Therefore, the correct sentence should be "When Mrs. Sinha came to see Varanasi in
2019, Nupur had already been teaching there for five years."
38-A
The most appropriate idiomatic expression to fill in the blank is the first option, "no
smoke without fire."
This expression means that there is usually a reason or cause behind a rumour or
accusation. In the context of the sentence, it suggests that there might be some truth to
the claim that Anita is not innocent, as her repeated denials could imply guilt.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Anita keeps on repeating that she is innocent, but
there is no smoke without fire."
39-B
The second option expresses the given sentence in active voice i.e. "Jack tore those
four pages."
To convert a passive voice sentence to an active voice, we need to identify the doer of
the action (the subject) and place it before the verb. The structure of the sentence in
active voice is "Subject (Jack) + Verb (tore) + Object (those four pages)."
In this case, "Jack" is the doer of the action, "tore" is the verb, and "these four
pages" is the object.
Therefore, the sentence in active voice is, "Jack tore those four pages."
The most appropriate antonym for the underlined word "frugal" is "extravagant."
41-D
The one-word substitute for the group of words "Which cannot be read" is "illegible."
42-A
Explanation: The word "preference" means a greater liking for one thing over another
or a choice made from a range of options.
43-C
The most appropriate antonym for the underlined word in the blank is "dissuaded."
Explanation: In the context of the sentence, "persuaded" means that most friends
encouraged or convinced him to choose the career. Hence, "dissuaded" is the word that
provides the opposite meaning, as it means to discourage or persuade someone not to
do something.
44-C
The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is: "had never been."
Explanation: "Had never been" is the correct choice because it indicates that during
her childhood, she never attended school. This construction uses the past perfect tense
to convey that the event or action never happened prior to a specific point in time.
So, the complete sentence is: "Shakuntala Devi was born on 4th November 1929. In her
childhood, she had never been to school."
45-B
The sentence with no spelling errors is: "The children playing in the kindergarten
almost broke the window of the principal’s car."
Explanation: This sentence has correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It uses
"children" and "kindergarten" correctly and has no spelling errors in the other words.
So, the correct sentence is: "The children playing in the kindergarten almost broke the
window of the principal’s car."
46-D
Explanation: The correct article to be used should be "a" instead of "an" before "hurry."
"An" is used before words that start with a vowel sound, while "a" is used before words
that start with a consonant sound. In this case, "hurry" starts with a consonant sound, so
it should be "a hurry."
Therefore the correct sentence is: "She is in a hurry to meet her brother."
47-A
The most appropriate option to fill in the blanks is the third option: dose, dozed.
Explanation: In this sentence, "dose" is the correct term for a measured quantity of
medicine, and "doze" is the correct term for the patient beginning to fall asleep or
become drowsy. The sentence conveys that the patient took a dose of medicine and
then started to doze or fall asleep.

1-A
Given:

Conclusion (II): All nose are ears – From the Venn diagram, we can see that there is no
overlap between the circles that represent ear and nose. This means that no nose are
ears. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
So, from the above, it is clear that only Conclusion (I) follows. Hence, the first option is
correct.
3-C
Conclusion (II): Some spoon are cups – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the
circles that represent cup and spoon do not overlap. There could be a possibility but it is
not definite. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
So, from the above, it is clear that neither Conclusion I nor II follows. Hence, the third
option is correct.
4-A
a) Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the
assertion. In a vacuum, there are no air molecules to create air resistance, so the object
does not experience air resistance.

Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of
the assertion. While it is true that the Moon has a smaller gravitational force than the
Earth due to its smaller mass, the reason does not provide a direct explanation of this
fact; it oversimplifies the gravitational force concept.
Statement 1 correctly identifies Earth as the third planet from the Sun. Statement 2 is
incorrect because the Moon is the natural satellite of Earth, not Mars.

New speed = 5/6 of the usual speed
New time taken = 6/5 of the usual time
So, 6/5 of usual time –usual time = 10 min.
Usual time/6 = 10 min
Usual time = 50 min.
26-A
here we use concept of average speed i.e. 2xy/x+y in the above case x is 25 and y is 4
So av speed =(2 x 25 x 4) /25+4 =200/29 kmph.
Total time is 5 +48/60 = 29/ 5 hrs
Hence total distance travelled will be (200/29) x (29/5) = 40km
Required distance = 40/2 = 20 km.

The one-word substitute for "Too strong to be defeated or changed" is the first option,
"Invincible."
39-D
The option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice is: "The plan has been
adopted by you."
The original sentence is in active voice with the subject "you" performing the action of
adopting the plan. The passive voice structure is "Object of the active sentence + "to
be" verb (in the corresponding tense) + past participle of the main verb +
Agent(optional)."
In this case, "the plan" becomes the subject, "has been adopted" is the passive
construction of "adopted," and "by you" indicates the agent.
40-D
The correct spelling is "stationary," which means not moving or not intended to be
moved.
41-B
The idiom "out of the blue" means "unexpectedly" or "suddenly," and it is used to
describe something that happens without warning or preparation. When something
happens "out of the blue," it means it comes as a surprise or shock, much like
something appearing suddenly from a clear, blue sky. There is no prior indication or
warning.
42-B
The segment that contains a grammatical error is the second option, "pass away."
The correct phrase should be "had passed away," not "had pass away." "Had passed"
is the past perfect tense form which is the correct way to express that the patient died
before the arrival of the doctor. The past perfect tense is used to denote the action that
happened earlier than the other action in the past. "Pass away" is a phrasal verb that
means "to die."
Therefore, the correct sentence is,"The doctor came after the patient had passed
away."
43-D
The correct option to fill in the blank is the fourth option, "cast".
The word "cast" in this context means getting rid of or disposing of old clothes. "Cast
off" is the correct phrasal verb to use when indicating the act of discarding something.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "We cast off old clothes and bought new ones for
Diwali."

The correct order for the sentences is:
C. Blind persons could read large-letter books that are bulky with the aid of this alphabet

The most appropriate meaning of the underlined phrase "a rainy day" in this context is
"saves money for later."
Explanation: The phrase "saves for a rainy day" is an idiom that means to set aside

The correct sentence is: "Though very rich, Alexander always saves money for a rainy

The answer is the sale in a foreign market of a commodity at a price below
marginal cost.
The phrase "dumping" refers to the practice of selling products in a foreign market at a
price lower than their typical worth. It can be performed to drive out local manufacturers
or acquire market share. Dumping has the potential to hurt domestic industry and
consumers. When overseas companies sell items below cost, domestic companies may
find it challenging to compete with one another. This might result in reduced
employment and increased consumer prices.
The process of connecting the Indian economy with the global economy through
liberalisation and privatisation policies is referred to as "globalisation of the Indian
economy". Through this procedure, foreign enterprises are now able to participate in the
Indian market, and Indian companies are now allowed to grow internationally. The
social, financial, cultural and political spheres of India have all been significantly
impacted by the country's economy worldwide.

The correct option is Haemoglobin
The red colour of human blood is caused by a molecule known as haemoglobin. The
protein haemoglobin is present in red blood cells and delivers oxygen from the lungs to
the rest of the body's tissues and organs. Haemoglobin also aids in the transfer of
carbon dioxide, a byproduct of metabolism, back to the lungs for expiration. The red
colour of haemoglobin is a result of its iron content. When it binds with oxygen in the
lungs, it forms a complex called oxyhaemoglobin, which is bright red.

A+B work in 1 day = 1/36…………..(1)
B+C work in 1 day = 1/48…………..(2)
A+C work in 1 day = 1/72…………..(3) Adding (1)+(2)+(3), we get
2 (A+B+C)’s 1 day work = 1/36+1/48+1/72 = 9/144 = 1/ 16
And hence (A+B+C)’s 1 day work = 1/ 32
Now 1 day work of A = 1/32-1/48 =1/96 therefore A completes the work in 96
days.
Now 1 day work of B = 1/32-1/72 =5/288 therefore A completes the work in 288/5
days.
Now 1 day work of C = 1/32-1/36 =1/288 therefore A completes the work in 288
days.

Explanation:
Shrub: A small, woody plant, typically with multiple stems and a shorter height than a
tree.
Peel: The outer skin or covering of a fruit or vegetable, often removed before eating or
cooking.
Bark refers to the tough protective outer sheath of the trunk, branches, and twigs of a

money or an item.
borrow: to take something from someone with the intention of returning it, typically

something back from somewhere, as per the context of the question.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The flood damaged the books so much that it was
impossible to retrieve them".

father's mind."
40-A
The correct choice is the first option, "pour".

children."
41-B
The correct choice is the second option, "became".
The verb "became", which is the second form of the verb "begin", which means begins
to be, is the correct form of the verb that should be used in the sentence, as it helps
maintain the tense consistency and also maintains the subject-verb agreement in the
sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Then railway trains became the most popular and
the cheapest means of transport."

The correct choice is the third option, "sore".
Therefore, the correct sentence is, If left unattended, even a small cut can turn into a

The correct choice is the third option, "pessimistic".
A pessimistic person is a person who always expects that the worst will happen or
looks at the negative aspects of things. This is the correct word choice for this sentence,

who believes the worst will happen to him.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "My neighbour is very pessimistic for he believes
that nothing good will happen to him."
44-D
The fourth option is the correct answer: impose.
45-C
The third option is the correct answer: scolded.

simple tense as well.
Therefore, the correct answer is "She scolded him angrily because he made the floor
dirty with his muddy shoes."
46-B
The correct choice is the second option, "on".
"On" is the correct preposition, as it helps in indicating that the subject (she) focuses
too much on her past.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "She dwells too much on her past."

The correct option that expresses the given sentence in the passive voice is: The
teacher was compelled to finish the class sooner.
In the passive voice, the structure is generally: Subject (Receiver of the action)+to be
verb (am, is, are, was, were, etc.)+{past participle of the main verb}} + optional: by +
Agent (doer of the action). Passive voice is the voice in which the object gets the
preference.
The active voice sentence. We compelled the teacher to finish the class sooner is
transformed into the passive voice by making the teacher the subject of the sentence
and using the appropriate passive voice structure.
48-B
The first sentence should be B since it gives general information about London. Option
2 can be selected directly to save time. Sentence A is also supporting sentence B

25-B
Due to stoppages, it covers less.
26-A
Let the duration of the flight be x hours.
28-A
Since X takes 20 days working 7 hours a day to complete the work, the number of
day-hours required to complete this work would be 140 day-hours. Like in the two
problems above, this is going to be constant throughout. So, W = 140 day-hours.
Amount of work done in the 1st day by X = 1day × 4 hours = 4 day-hours
2nd day, X does again 4 day-hours of work. The second person is twice as efficient as X
so he will do 8 day-hours of work. Total work done on second day = 8 + 4 = 12
day-hours. Amount of work completed after two days = 12 + 4 = 16 day-hours.
3rd day, X does 4 day-hours of work. Second Person does 8 day-hours of work. Third
person who is thrice as efficient as X does 12 day-hours of work. Total work done on 3rd
day = 4 + 8 + 12 = 24 day-hours Amount of work completed after 3 days = 16 + 24 = 40
day-hours
Similarly on 4th day the amount of work done would be 4 + 8 + 12 + 16 = 40 day-hours
Work done on the 5th day = 4 + 8 + 12 + 16 + 20 = 60 day-hours
Total work done after 5 days = 4 + 12 + 24 + 40 + 60 = 140 day-hours = W. So it takes 5
days to complete the work.

READING COMPREHENSION
37-D
The preposition "to" is the correct choice in this sentence because it is used to indicate
the person to whom someone is getting married. In this context, "to" is the appropriate
preposition to connect the subject (he) with the person he is marrying (Maya).
38-B
The word "heal" is the correct choice in this sentence because it means to cure or treat
patients, helping them recover from their illnesses or injuries. It's the appropriate word
for what medical doctors are supposed to do.
● "Heel" means the back part of the foot or to follow someone closely, which is
unrelated to medical treatment.
● "Hate" means to feel strong hostility or intense dislike.
● "Kill" means to cause death, which is the opposite of what doctors are expected
to do.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Medical doctors should try to heal as many patients
as possible."
39-C
The preposition "between" is the correct choice in this sentence because it is used to
indicate the distinction or comparison between two items, in this case, butter and
margarine. When you want to highlight the contrast or distinguish one thing from
another, "between" is the appropriate preposition.
● "Over" typically implies covering something or dealing with a range of issues, not
making a comparison.
● "With" is used to indicate an association, not a distinction or difference between
two items.
● "Among" is used to refer to a relationship within a group of three or more items,
not a comparison between two specific items.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Can you tell the difference between butter and
margarine?"
40-C
"Might" is the simple past form of "may," which is used to express the possibility that
the given condition can be true, although not very likely. "Might be" is used here to
indicate the possibility that Mr. Sen can be sick, and that is why he is absent.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Mr. Sen is absent today. He might be sick."
41-C
Explanation: The phrase "fall back on" is a common expression that means to rely on
or turn to something or someone for help or support in difficult times. In this context, it is
● Through: Moving from one side to the other; indicating completion, passage, or
penetration.
So, the sentence would be: "I always fall back on old friends in times of need."
42-B
The word "rise" is the appropriate choice in this sentence because it means to move
from a lower to a higher position, which is appropriate in the context of standing up for
prayer.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Will all of you rise up for prayer?"
43-D
The phrase "was perfected" is the appropriate choice in this sentence because it
indicates that the art of cooking reached a state of perfection in the past, specifically in
ancient India. This form of the verb "perfected" in the past tense is appropriate to
describe an action that was completed at a specific time in the past.
● "Is perfected" is in the present tense and doesn't correctly convey the past
action.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The art of cooking was perfected in ancient India."
44-D
The auxiliary verb "have" is the correct choice in this sentence because "a number of
refugees" is a plural subject, and when the subject is plural, you use the plural form of
the verb, which is "have," as it shows possession.
● "has" is the singular form of the verb and doesn't match the plural subject.
● "is" is also singular and doesn't match the plural subject.
● "are" is plural, but it's not used with "number of" to refer to a quantity of
something.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "A number of refugees have been turned back at the
border."
45-B
The word "over" is the correct choice in this sentence because it indicates the
assumption of control or responsibility. When a new government "takes over," it means it
assumes authority and leadership, which is the intended meaning in this context.
● "After" does not convey the same sense of assuming control or responsibility;
it's used to indicate a sequence in time.
● "Upon" is not the appropriate word for describing the assumption of government
control; it's used more for formal or legal actions.
● "Out" is unrelated to the idea of a new government taking control.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The new government took over last year."
46-A
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Mohan's career has taken some interesting twists
and turns."
47-C
The preposition "over" is the correct choice in this sentence, as it helps to indicate that
Sheila gained an advantage in a way that surpasses or exceeds the advantage held by
the person being compared (in this case, the speaker).
● "From" implies receiving something, but it doesn't convey the idea of gaining an
advantage over someone.
● "On" is used to indicate a physical location or topic of discussion, and it doesn't
convey the intended meaning.
● "Upon" is a less common preposition for expressing this kind of relationship or
advantage and is not as suitable as "over" in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Sheila gained an advantage over me."
48-D
The word "accomplished" is the correct choice in this sentence because it means
highly skilled or proficient in a particular area. When describing someone as
"accomplished in singing and dancing," it suggests that the person is very skilled and
capable in these arts.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "She was remarkably accomplished in singing and
dancing."
GENERAL KNOWLEDGE
49-C
The Indian Constitution Part IV contains Articles 36–51 that deal with Directive
Principles of State Policy (DPSP). They originated in the Spanish Constitution, and India
adopted them from the Irish Constitution. The DPSP must be taken into consideration
by the state when creating policies and passing legislation.
50-A
The central government has the authority to establish and manage investigative
agencies such as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), but the details and
administration of such agency may not be specifically specified under the Seventh
Schedule. Because central agencies such as the CBI can investigate specific crimes
across states based on special regulations and agreements, they are considered to be
on the Union List. The Union List includes topics like as defence, foreign affairs, money,
atomic energy, and telecommunications.

Cnidaria, also known as Coelenterata, is a phylum of aquatic invertebrates that
includes a varied collection of organisms distinguished by their specialised stinging cells
known as cnidocytes. These animals have a body structure with radial symmetry and a
sac like or cylindrical form. Cnidarians live in both saltwater and freshwater habitats.
Corals, sea anemones, and sea pens are all members of the Anthozoa class. They are
frequently sessile (non-moving) and can form colonies, contributing significantly to coral
reef habitat and ecological support. Cnidocytes are used by cnidarians to acquire prey
and to defend themselves.

The communist party of India (CPI) apart from the congress, had representation in the
inaugural Lok Sabha. In 1952, A. K. Gopalan, an Indian communist, served as the head
of the opposition. With the enactment of the 1977 salary and allowances of leaders of
opposition in parliament act, the leader of the opposition role gained official recognition.
This position is held by the individual of the party with the highest number of opposition
seats or at least ten percent of all seats in the house.
54-D
The correct answer is Part IV A.
Part IV A of the Indian Constitution contains Article 51A, which addresses the
Fundamental Duties. The 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976 added the
fundamental duties to Part IV A of our constitution. Currently, article 51 A of the
Constitution lists eleven obligations. Fundamental duties were added to the Indian
Constitution on the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee.
55-C
The correct answer is Fundamental Rights.
When a right is justiciable, there is a legal basis for seeking a judicial or quasi-judicial
remedy when a violation has occurred. Fundamental Rights are justiciable because
anyone who believes their rights have been violated has the right to take legal action in
the High Court or Supreme Court. Any Fundamental Rights may be enforced by the
Supreme Court or High Courts issuing directives, orders, or writs.
56-D
The correct answer is the abolition of titles except military and academic.
11 fundamental obligations that are both statutory and legally enforceable under Article
51-A of our Constitution. Titles are eliminated in Article 18, which aims to lessen social
inequality in India. By abiding by the rules, such as the ban on Indian citizens obtaining
any titles from other countries, the abolition of the title is achieved. A few non-title
awards are exempt from Article 18, and its rules are given out by the country. An award
known as a "Bharat Ratna" is given to individuals who have made outstanding
contributions to any field.
Sri Lanka and India are separated by a small body of water known as the Palk Strait or
the Gulf of Mannar. Sri Lanka is cut off from India by the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk
Strait. The Jaffna peninsula in Sri Lanka and the Indian state of Tamil Nadu are
separated by the Palk Strait. It is named after Madras Governor Robert Palk and
measures 137 km in length with a minimum depth of 9.1 metres. The Pamban Island,
Adam's Bridge and the Gulf of Mannar form its southern and western boundaries,
respectively. The southwestern section of the strait is known as Palk Bay. Tamil Nadu's
Vaigai River empties into the Palk Strait.
58-C
The correct answer is 3.28.
India's land area is 3.28 million square kilometres. India is the seventh-largest country
on earth in terms of area and the largest one in terms of population. India has a total
land boundary of about 15,200 km, of which India shares its land boundary with
Bangladesh.
59-C
The right to privacy is a basic one that the Indian Supreme Court has regarded as
being implicit in the rights to life and personal liberty given by Article 21 of the
Constitution. This interpretation was established in the landmark 2017 decision of
Justice K. S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) vs. Union of India. The right to privacy is a
fundamental right that safeguards individuals from unwarranted intrusion into their
private lives, homes, families, and communication.
60-D
The correct option is Sri Lanka.
The Palk Strait separates Sri Lanka's Northern Province, particularly the Jaffna District,
from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It connects Palk Bay in the southwest to the Bay of
Bengal in the northeast. This strait is relatively shallow, measuring less than 330 feet in
depth, with a width ranging from 40 to 85 miles. Its total length extends for
approximately 85 miles.

READING COMPREHENSION
37-A
The sentence in active voice is:
Explanation: The original sentence is in the passive voice, with the subject (the coffee)
coming after the action (was made).Passive voice is the voice in which something is
being done upon the object whereas in the active voice, the subject is the doer.Here,
(who) is the subject and it performed the action (made).
38-B
The most appropriate antonym of the underlined words "at a disadvantage" is
"privileged."
39-C
The incorrectly spelt word in the sentence is "adolosense." The correct spelling should
be "adolescence."
● Introvert: An introvert is a person who is more focused on his own thoughts and
feelings rather than seeking external stimulation.
● Timid: "Timid" means lacking in self-confidence, shy, or easily frightened.
● Familiar: "Familiar" means well-known or acquainted with something or
someone.
40-B
The correct order is DBAC.
Explanation:
So, the correct sentence would be: "Achilles, in Greek mythology, is the son of the
mortal Peleus, king of the Myrmidons, and the Nereid Thetis. Achilles was the bravest,
handsomest, and greatest warrior of the army of Agamemnon in the Trojan War.
According to Homer, Achilles was brought up by his mother at Phthia with his
inseparable companion Patroclus. Later non-Homeric tales suggest that Patroclus was
Achilles' kinsman or lover."
41-D
The most appropriate idiom that can substitute the underlined segment in the given
sentence is "A storm in a teacup."
Explanation: This idiom means making a great deal of fuss or commotion over a trivial
or minor issue. It is the most suitable choice because it directly conveys the idea of
creating a fuss over a small problem, which is the context of the sentence.
● Get a taste of your own medicine: This idiom means to experience the same
negative treatment or situation that one has previously inflicted on others.
● Barking up the wrong tree: This idiom means to pursue a mistaken or
misguided course of action.
● Add insult to injury: This idiom means to make a bad situation worse.
Explanation: In passive voice construction, the subject (the fire and rescue team in this
case) receives the action, and the agent (Mahesh and his team) is indicated using "by."
The other options contain grammatical errors and are not in proper passive voice form.
43-D
The grammatically correct statement is A. It is a nice party. I am enjoying the party.
Explanation: The reason for this choice is that it uses proper articles and prepositions.
"A" is the indefinite article used before "nice party," and "the" is the definite article
used before "party."
The use of "an" in options B and D is incorrect because it should be "a" before "party"
because "party" begins with a consonant sound.
Option C is also incorrect because it lacks the article "a" before "party."
44-A
The one-word substitute for the given group of words is Encyclopedia.
45-A
The most appropriate synonym for the word "Peruse" is Check.

C. Our mind is resourceful enough to find shortcuts in simple and easy ways.
A. We often make all things around us the way we want them.
B. Even during our pilgrimages, we have begun to look for whatever makes our heart
happy, gives comfort to our body, and peace to the mind.
D. It is as if external solutions will fulfil our needs, and we do not want to make any
special efforts even in our spiritual search.
The reason for this order is that (Sentence C) introduces the idea that the mind looks for
shortcuts and easy solutions. (Sentence A) expands on the notion that we shape our
environment according to our desires and needs, reinforcing the idea of seeking comfort
and ease. (Sentence B) introduces the concept of seeking happiness, comfort, and
peace even during pilgrimages, which is an example of the behaviour discussed in the
previous sentences. Finally (Sentence D) concludes the paragraph by stating that
people often seek external solutions and avoid making special efforts, even in spiritual
matters, which ties back to the theme of seeking comfort and shortcuts introduced
earlier in the paragraph.
47-A
The most appropriate antonym of the underlined word is "Virtuous."
Explanation: Virtuous means having high moral standards, being good, righteous, and
behaving in a morally upright and ethical way. It is the opposite of "wicked," which
implies morally evil or corrupt.
48-A
D. In a similar context even the elders are, in most likelihood, expected to give their
advice as a word of guidance.
C. Emphasising upon the times that prevailed, the youth very much get their queries
answered systematically.
A. It's because the 'practical people' in society boast of having a practical approach to
life.
This is the correct order because (Sentence B) introduces the idea that young people
often seek advice from their elders, setting the context for the paragraph. (Sentence D)
explains that elders are also expected to provide advice in similar situations,
establishing a reciprocal relationship. (Sentence C) provides additional information
about the nature of the interaction, emphasising that young people receive systematic
answers to their questions. Finally (Sentence A) concludes the paragraph by introducing
the concept of "practical people" and how they perceive their approach to life. It ties
back to the initial idea of seeking advice and guidance from elders.

34-B
let vinod marks be 6x and basu is 5x. Therefore the sum = 11x
but the sum of marks is given as 275 = 11x
we get x = 25, so vinod marks = 150, Basu = 125
combined average = (150 +125)/2 = 137.5
If the total marks of exam is 100 their combined avg. Of their % is 68.75.

READING COMPREHENSION
37-D
The correct choice is the fourth option, "induced".
38-D
The correct choice is the fourth option, "to die".
The idiom "To kick the bucket" means to die or to stop living. This makes the fourth
option the appropriate choice.
The correct spelling is "floral," not "floaral." Floral relates to flowers or the use of
flowers, which is accurate in the context of paying floral tributes.
Hoisting: Hoisting refers to the action of raising or lifting something, often using ropes,
pulleys, cranes, or other mechanisms.
40-A
The correct answer is the first option i.e. "misconstruction."
● Dare: This is the word being considered, and it means to have the courage to do
something or to take risks.
41-B
The correct answer is the second option i.e. "His best friend was called up by the
little boy on his birthday."
The reason for this answer is that the passive voice construction typically involves using
a form of the verb "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb. In this case,
"was called" is the correct passive construction, indicating that the action (calling up)
was performed by the little boy on his friend.
The first sentence should be C since it gives general information about 'Shakespeare's
Sister'. Sentence A also supports sentence C by explaining what it aims to do,
therefore, it should come next. Sentence D provides examples of the previous two
sentences. Thus, it should be next. Sentence B concludes the paragraph by
summarising the broader theme and ideas.
43-B
The correct answer is the second option i.e. "have."
The sentence is in present perfect tense and the auxiliary verb "have" is used in such
sentences.
Therefore, the complete sentence is "She reminds me always that I have to be a little
more careful."
44-D
The correct answer is the fourth option i.e. "Misanthrope."
"Misanthrope" means 'a person who dislikes humankind and avoids human society'
which means is the same as the group of words provided in the question.
● Masochist: This term refers to a person who derives pleasure from their own
pain or humiliation.
Therefore, the complete sentence is "Mr Khanna is quite sympathetic towards the
victims of the earthquake."
46-C
The correct answer is the third option i.e. "By whom were my tickets stolen?"
To convert the sentence to passive voice, we need to identify the doer of the action and
place it after the verb. In this case, "Who" becomes "By whom" in the passive
construction. The correct passive structure is: "By + Subject (doer of the action) +
Verb (in the corresponding tense) + Object."
In passive voice constructions, the transformation involves using a form of the verb "to
be" (am, is, are, was, were, etc.) and the past participle of the main verb. So, the past

the previous sentence. Sentence (S) is at the end because it continues to describe the
approach of news reporters.

So 300 ml removed and poured into second
First vessel = 200 ml alcohol
Second = 500 ml water+ 300 ml A

Proportion of alcohol = 3/8
If 300 ml removed from second = 300 x 5/8 = 187.5 ml water
= 112.5 ml alcohol
Now poured so vessel = 200 + 112.5 = 312.5 A

READING COMPREHENSION
37-D
The fourth option is the correct answer to be filed in as 'to the best' means 'to the
greatest degree' fits contextually in the sentence and makes the meaning of the
sentence as 'he worked with the highest quality of his ability'. Other options don't fit
contextually because different prepositions used in the options make the options
incorrect.
Therefore, the correct statement should be "He worked to the best of his ability."
38-D
The fourth option is the correct answer. The word "aimlessly" is the most appropriate
choice in this context because it conveys that Purush was wandering without a clear
purpose or direction in life.
The other options, "madly," "excitedly," and "crazily," do not fit the context as well
because they suggest different emotions or states of mind.
So the correct complete sentence is, "Purush wandered aimlessly through life, with no
clear ideas of where he was heading and what he wanted to accomplish."
The complete sentence is a proverbial expression that conveys the idea that people are
often judged or assessed based on the friends and associates they choose to be
around.
The options ''for", ''in", and ''of'' don't fit contextually in the sentence.
Therefore, the complete sentence is "A man is known by the company he keeps".
40-A
''Out of'' fits perfectly in the sentence, which means "from". It means that Sally parked
the car and quickly exited it.
The prepositions in the other options, ''in'', ''over'' and ''on'' are incorrect and should
not be used in the sentence.
Therefore, the complete sentence is "Sally parked and got out of the car quickly".
41-B
The second option is the correct choice.
"Few'' is used to indicate a small number of something, often implying scarcity, and in
this case, "few" fits perfectly in the sentence, as the sentence has a negative
connotation to it.
● "A few" also means less in quantity, but is used in positive cases as it implies
sufficiency, which is not the intended meaning of the sentence.
● "Little" and "a little" are used for quatites that are not countable in nature and
hence are not correct to use in this sentence.
42-B
The correct choice is the second option "hanged".
"Hanged" means the execution of a person by suspending them by the neck as a form
of punishment. It fits perfectly in the sentence conveying the intended meaning.
"Hung" is the past participle form of "hang" which means to suspend from above with
the lower end dangling free. Both of these options are incorrect to use in the sentence
as "hanged" is used specifically for the purpose discussed above.
43-C
The third option is the correct answer since ''even though'' conveys the meaning that
despite the fact that Anita can't drive, she has bought a car, emphasising the contrast.
The option ''since'' in the sentence can mean ''because of"' ''even if'' is used to
introduce a hypothetical condition and ''whether or not'' is used to present alternatives,
all of which don't fit contextually.
Therefore, the complete sentence is "Even though she can't drive, Anita has bought a
car".
44-C
The correct choice to fill in the blank is the third option.
The simple present tense is followed by the simple future tense as per the first
conditional. It conveys that the success of the speaker's efforts is contingent upon the
future outcome.
Therefore, the complete sentence is, "If you do well in the exam next year, then my
efforts will be successful."
45-C
The correct choice is the third option.
Therefore, the complete sentence is, "We need not hurry; we have plenty of time."
46-C
This choice fits grammatically in the sentence and conveys the intended meaning that
they were worried about a new cult that was actively acquiring many followers.
The options ''is gaining'' and ''must be gaining'' are incorrect as they are not following
the tense in the sentence. ''Were gaining'' is incorrect as per subject-verb agreement.
Therefore, the complete sentence is "They were worried about a new cult that was
gaining many followers".
47-C
Therefore, the correct sentence is Legislation was passed to punish brokers who
defalcate their client's funds.
48-B
The correct choice is the second option, had rung because the sentence is in the past
perfect tense, indicating that the action of ringing the warning bells occurred before
another past action (realising the danger). In the past perfect tense, had is followed by
the past participle of the verb, which is rung in this case.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, The warning bells had rung several times before
anyone realized the danger.

The correct option is Stand Up India scheme

entrepreneurs and people from the SC and ST communities. This program provides
bank loans to qualifying participants ranging from Rs.10 lahk to Rs. 1 crore to help them
start new enterprises. New enterprises or greenfield businesses are the target audience
for the Stand Up India loans. It indicates that it is for recently established enterprises.

water, sanitation, etc. This nationwide program involves all stakeholders, including the
Central Government, State Governments, Panchayats, and the general public.

The PMUY offers a free LPG connection to the household's head, who must be an adult
woman. A stove and a regulator are included in the connection. The recipient also
receives a three-year supply of free LPG petrol refills.
The study of the scale of mobile phones by BSNL is a microeconomic analysis that
focuses on the performance of a specific firm. The other choices in the question,
inflation, per capita income and the unemployment rate for women are macroeconomic
indicators that show how the economy is performing overall.
56-C
The correct answer is if the price of a good increases, the quantity demanded of
that good decreases.
According to the law of demand, there is an inverse connection between the price of
an item and the amount wanted. The rule of demand is based on the assumption that
customers have a limited budget and must make decisions about how to spend it. When
the price of a product rises, buyers must spend more money to purchase the same
amount of the product. As a result of having less money to spend on other things,
customers will desire less of the item whose price has soared.
57-D
The answer is Mughal Garden.
The Mughal Garden is located inside the Taj Mahal. It's a Persian-style garden with
paths or water channels dividing it into four equal sections. The Charbagh, a formal
garden featuring terraced flowerbeds, water channels, and pathways, is a key
component of the Taj Mahal's overall architectural design.
58-C
The answer is Jahangir.
Mehr-un-Nissa, known as Noor Jahan, was the wife of Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Her
influence was substantial in the 17th-century Mughal court, owing to her political
acumen and cultural patronage. Noor Jahan left an indelible mark with her contributions
to the arts and architecture of the Mughal Empire.
59-B
The correct option is Perfect competition.
● Perfect competition is an ideal type of market structure where all producers and
consumers have full and symmetric information and no transaction costs.
60-B
The correct option is The Labour Bureau.
The Labour Bureau, under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, is responsible for
compiling and releasing the Consumer Price Index Number for Industrial Workers
(CPI-IW) every month. This index is derived from the fluctuations in prices of a selection
of goods and services that are typically used by industrial workers and their families.
