Directions(11-13):Read the given passage and answer the following questions:

The word Holocaust originates from the Greek words ―holos‖ meaning whole and ―kaustos‖ meaning
burned. The Holocaust was the most unique event in history not because of the number of fatalities but
as a matter of intentional principle and actualized policy, to exterminate physically every man, woman
and child belonging to a specific ethnicity or civilization. The rationale of Hitler behind Holocaust is
demonstrated by various despotic laws which were enacted during his reign that included stripping of
Jews from their citizenship, prohibition from marrying other Germans in the country, loss of right to
vote and compulsion to wear yellow Star of David for easily identifying them. All these clearly
demonstrated that the purpose of Hitler to do this was neither related to territorial aggression nor
acquisition of political supremacy, but was solely based on his implicit disgust and hatred towards the
Jewish race and his opinion of them being the sole reason for the German defeat in World War I. Again
the question emerges as whether the death of 6 million Jews warranted because of the pirated and
corrupted ideology of a single person.

Directions (14-16): Read the given passage and answer the following questions:
There are two key factors which have to be enlightened, one being ―mass selling‖ which can only take
place if there is a great demand of the respective commodity in the market or to escalate the demand of
that product by unvarying promotion. The second being, ―mass production‖ which is very necessary
once a demand rises in the society due to advertising and in order to stabilise the supply demand ratio
surplus production is essential. In order to constitute an advertisement certain factors need to be
fulfilled. The first and the foremost ingredient is communication; in order to swing a particular
commodity from the storehouses of factories to the floors of a house, it is required to convince, appeal
and attract the public and to enlighten them about the utility of the product. The next ingredient is
sponsor identification which aims towards finding a reputed company or corporate body to be the face of
the product to instil the feeling of trust and reliance in the mind of the consumers. Another factor would
be the element of creativity and uniqueness which should appeal the audience and should not get passed
without being noticed. However the most essential factor which overpowers all the other factors is
consumer choice which means that the product should enable consumers to purchase as per their
budget requirements and choice.

Directions (17-20):Read the given passage and answer the following questions:
It is the basic rule of nature that in order to establish a sense of equilibrium, independent elements
should acquire the most dominant position while this hierarchy of dominance goes down from
independent to interdependent elements. Relating this concept with the consumer-seller relationship, it
should be the consumers who should have an upper hand and position of dominance as compared to the
purveyors as it is the purveyors who are dependent on the consumers. The consumers always have an
option of moving on to the next seller but if the seller losses its prominent customers, he loses his
business. Therefore, it is the duty of the sellers to conform to the needs of the consumers, provide
them bona fide information in order to enable them to make a fair assessment of the product which

SECTION-IV: LEGAL APTITUDE
Principles for Ques. 111

A. All citizens shall have the right to freedom of speech and expression subject to reasonable
restrictions
B. Restrictions can be placed on the right to freedom of speech and expression in the relation
to contempt of court
C. Fair criticism of a judicial act is valid
Assume that a writ petition has been filed in the SC for decriminalization of consensual homosexual sex
between adults. The SC ruled that the law criminalizing homosexuality is valid. The reasoning behind
this decision was stated as being that recognition of LGBT rights by the apex court would be
unconstitutional since it is not in consonance with the moral and social fabric of India and it might lead
to public unrest and breaking of public peace and order. Moreover, only Parliament is empowered to
change a law, not the courts; hence courts cannot declare a law existing on the statute book as invalid.
News Reporter- a leading national newspaper- criticized the judgment of the Supreme Court. A

Principles for Ques. 122 to 126

A. Minor is a person who is below the age of 18. However, where a guardian administers the
minor’s property the age of majority is 21.
CP/16/C09
B. Minor is not permitted by law to enter into a contract. Hence, where a minor enters into a
contract with a major person, the contract is not enforceable. This effectively means that
neither the minor nor the other party can make any claim on the basis of the contract.
C. In a contract with a minor, if the other party hands over any money or confers any other
benefit on the minor, the same shall not be recoverable from the minor unless the other
party was deceived by the minor to hand over money or any other benefit. The other party
will have to show that the minor misrepresented her age, he was ignorant about the age of
the minor and that he handed over the benefit on the basis of such representation.

guardian. Nonetheless Paula, without the permission of Sonal, sells the land to Gamlu for a total sum of
Rs. 80 lakhs, paid in full and final settlement of the price. Sonal challenges this transaction claiming that
Paula is a minor and hence the possession of the land shall not be given to Gamlu. Thus, Gamlu is in a
difficult situation and has no idea how to recover his money from Paula.
122.Sonal is justified in challenging the sale transaction because:

a) Paula is of unsound mind and is not in a position to make rational decisions.
b) Though Paula is 18 year old, she will be treated as a minor, as Sonal is her guardian.
c) Though Paula is 18 year old, she cannot sell the land without the permission of her mother.
d) Though Paula is 18 year old she should not be treated like a person who has attained the age of
majority.
123.Gamlu can be allowed to recover the money only if he can show that:
a) He was deceived by Paula who misrepresented her age.
b) He honestly believed that Paula was empowered under the law to sell the land.
c) He was an honest person who had paid the full price of the land to Paula
d) Both (a) and (b).
124.In order to defend the sale, Paula will need to show that

b) Paula is mature enough to make rational decisions regarding her own affairs.
CP/16/C09
c) The sale transaction was beneficial to her interest and will enhance her financial status.
d) None of the above.
125.Which of the following is correct?

a) Gamlu should be allowed to recover the money because even though there is no contract, Paula
and Sonal should not be allowed to unjustly benefit from his money.
b) Gamlu should be allowed the possession of land because Sonal can always decide to approve the
transaction between him and Paula
c) Gamlu should not be allowed to recover because he induced Paula, a minor, to sell the land.
126.Which of the following is correct?

a) If Gamlu is allowed to recover the money, that will defeat the law framed for protecting the
minors against fraudulent persons.
b) If Gamlu is not allowed to recover that will cause him injustice as he has paid off the entire sale
price.
c) If Gamlu is not allowed to recover, Sonal will benefit from both the money and the land.

with about its whereabouts. Whether Prasad is liable for theft? Decide.
a) Yes, because Prasad is a teacher and he should not be doing an act like this.
b) No, because a teacher cannot be sent to jail and Kunal is at fault as he was wearing a golden ring
which is not required in school.

walking past the parked car when suddenly Bruno started jumping in the car and smashed a glass panel
which caused a small glass piece to enter the eye of Mike and injured him. Mike filed a suit against
Louis for damages.

the 'UP Goondagiri Control Act, 2014'. Section 19 of the Act empowered the police to take preventive
action against the citizens. If the police feels that a particular citizen is a 'gunda', then his movement
could be restricted. The Act nowhere indicated the test to be applied in determining as to whether a
person is a 'gunda' or not. Also, the person was not given any opportunity to defend himself in proving
that he is not a 'gunda'. Under Section 19 of the Act, police disallowed BahubaliGajender from moving
out of his hometown Mathura. BahubaliGajender, who was a travel enthusiast, filed a writ under Article
19(1)(d) to invoke his right to movement. Decide.

guaranteed under Article 19(1)(d)
b) BahubaliGajender will not succeed as he is a local goon hailing from Mathura and hence his activities
need to be monitored in public interest
c) BahubaliGajender will succeed since the State cannot put unreasonable fetters on a person who is a
travel enthusiast

the villagers faced a lot of problems arising from water shortage. In order to tackle this problem,
SurajRathi got 15 wells constructed at various locations in the village. On the inaugration of these wells,
he dedicated the wells for use by the inhabitants of the village only. Certain students from Theatre
Institute of Mumbai, born in Delhi, arrived in Charanpur to shoot a documentary on the lives of
Rajsthani women. They were to stay in the village for a week. SurajRathi made it clear that the wells are
meant to be used only by villagers and hence the students cannot use it. One of the students, Nayantara,
filed a writ alleging violation of her fundamental rights under Article 15.

a) Yes, because water is a basic necessity and its denial amounts to violation of right to life
CP/16/C09

wells for usage by women. Menfolk of the village file a writ alleging violation of their fundamental

b) No, because the State has made a special provision for women
c) Yes, because their fundamental right to equality is being violated

Last year, a curious nonfiction book became a Times best-seller: a dense meditation on artificial
intelligence by the philosopher Nick Bostrom, who holds an appointment at Oxford. Titled
―Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies,‖ it argues that true artificial intelligence, if it is realized,
might pose a danger that exceeds every previous threat from technology—even nuclear weapons—and
that if its development is not managed carefully humanity risks engineering its own extinction. Central
to this concern is the prospect of an ―intelligence explosion,‖ a speculative event in which an A.I. gains
the ability to improve itself, and in short order exceeds the intellectual potential of the human brain by
many orders of magnitude.
Such a system would effectively be a new kind of life, and Bostrom‘s fears, in their simplest form, are
evolutionary: that humanity will unexpectedly become outmatched by a smarter competitor. He
sometimes notes, as a point of comparison, the trajectories of people and gorillas: both primates, but
with one species dominating the planet and the other at the edge of annihilation. ―Before the prospect of
an intelligence explosion, we humans are like small children playing with a bomb,‖ he concludes. ―We
have little idea when the detonation will occur, though if we hold the device to our ear we can hear a
faint ticking sound.‖
191. Humans could go extinct as the AI will have the ability to improve itself.
CP/16/C09
192. Gorillas are soon to be extinct.

193. Humans are children at heart as a result they are playing with a bomb.

195. The main reason for the annihilation of humans will be intelligence explosion.
Directions(196-200): Read the following paragraphs and answer the questions that follow:
196. When, on a particular shopping trip, a consumer purchases an item which he previously had no
intention of purchasing, this sale is called an ―impulse purchase.‖ The objects of impulse purchases are
occasionally essential items (i.e. items that satisfy basic subsistence needs), but much more frequently
are luxury or non-essential items. Researchers have determined that, at the end of a shopping trip, a
consumer is much more excited if she has bought a luxury item on an impulse purchase, than if she had
made no impulse purchases.
If the information above is true, and if the researchers‘ investigation was properly conducted, then which
of the following must also be true?
(A) The impulse purchase of a luxury or non-essential item is more exciting than the impulse purchase
of an essential need.
(B) A consumer who, for whatever reason, is not able to purchase an item she had planned to buy is
necessarily disappointed.
(C) Consumers seeking a high level of excitement often make impulse purchases.
(D) The researcher had a reliable way to determine whether the consumer had planned to buy the luxury
or non-essential item he purchased on that trip.
197. Over the past ten years, the population of Dilli has grown five times as large as it was. During this
time, the average income in the city has risen substantially, and a tremendous amount of capital has
flowed into city. An independent audit found that, somewhat surprisingly, the number of violent
felonies reported per year is now lower than it was ten years ago.
Each of the following statements below, if true, would explain the somewhat surprising finding
EXCEPT:
(A) White collar crimes, which are almost always non-violent, tend to replace street-crimes during times
of prosperity.
(B) The police now have a computerized filing system, so that it is almost impossible for a violent crime
to be unrecorded.
(c) The police force has expanded in number and is equipped with the latest crime detection technology.
CP/16/C09
(D) The city is now much better lit at night, and security cameras protect a large number of public
venues.
198. Archeologists have discovered three sites showing conclusive evidence for the mastery of fire in
Tanzania, from a period slightly after the time that Homo habiliswas present in Africa. These sites
clearly were founded by Homo erectus, the descendent species of Homo habilis that migrated north, out
of Africa and into Asia.Homo erectus was known to have mastered fire, from ample evidence at sites in
Asia. There is no reason to attribute mastery of fire to Homo ergaster, the descendent species of Homo
habilis that remained in Africa.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) Before their migration, Homo erectus occupied African territory as far south as Tanzania.
(B) The strain of migration provided the selective pressure motivating Homo erectus‗ mastery of fire.
(C) Homo ergaster would not have derived as much benefit from the mastery of fire as did Homo
erectus.
(D) Homo ergaster inherited all cultural knowledge from Homo habilis, a species that did not have
mastery of fire.
199. Five years ago, the town of bayside, in the Katonic River Valley, had catastrophic flooding one
spring, and consequently, most insurers now refuse to write flood insurance for houses in Bayside. The
town of Dryadia, in the Phemptic River Valley, is much like Bayside in its proximity to a similar river at
an almost identical point in the river valley. We can conclude that the only reason the same insurers do
not write flood insurance for houses in Dryadia either is its similarity to Bayside in terms of where it is
situated in the river valley.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously undermine the argument?
(A) A small number of independent insurers will write flood insurance for at least some houses in each
of the two towns.
(B) It is hard for a homeowner to buy flood insurance if a large proportion of other houses in the same
town have been flooded in recent years.
(C) In many other towns in the Katonic River Valley, it is hard for home-owners to buy flood insurance.
(D) The town of Dryadia has some flooding most springs.
200. More than 80% of the executives in the county attended high school in the county, and clearly they
represent some of the brightest in the county. Among the seventeen high schools in the county, the three
in the coastal towns have had the highest test scores in the county for several decades. A recent study
CP/16/C09
shows that almost all of the county executives who attended high school in the county attended one of
those three high schools in the coastal towns.
The argument above is most vulnerable to criticism on which grounds?
(A) The argument does not take into account the significant salary difference between jobs in
government and careers in the private sector.
(B) The argument inappropriately posits a causal relationship between academic intelligence and the
ability to govern effectively.
(C) The argument assumes without basis that these county executives were above-average students at
their respective high schools.
(D) The argument does not consider that all county executive now work in the county seat, which has
the lowest scoring high schools in the county.
