ENGLISH LANGUAGE INCLUDING COMPREHENSION

Directions (Q.1-Q.5): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Why do the vital organs of the body slow down on aging? Why do older people experience sleep disorders? A new
study holds the molecular machinery of the "master clock" in the brain responsible for such malfunctions during old
age. The study conducted by researchers at the University of Virginia and reported in the journal 'Proceedings' of
the National Academy of Sciences, compares the working of the vital organs to a wall full of clocks with a large
dominant clock controlling the synchronization of the peripheral clocks. The big clock continues to keep time, but
as it ages, its connecting signal to the "smaller docks weakens. Some of the smaller clocks eventually become
desynchronized and some stop running. This weakening of the signal, rather than a problem with the central
timekeeper itself, apparently is the cause of alterations in the biological timing system in aging mammals — possibly
including humans, according to the researchers.
This may explain why older people experience sleep disorders the signal from the master clock in the brain has
weakened, even as it keeps on ticking. This weakened output causes some of the peripheral clocks in other organs
to eventually stop oscillating or to fall out of proper sync, causing sleep disruption and malaise, the report says. Lack
of sleep can affect more than a person's level of alertness. In the long term, it can disrupt the body's metabolism;
affect eating cycles, lead to declining cognitive abilities and possibly, a shortened lifespan. Sleep disorders are also
associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Gene D. Block, professor of biology and one of the study's lead researchers, was quoted in the report as saying, "Our
new finding demonstrates that the molecular machinery of the master clock continues to function normally. Taken
together with our earlier studies, this suggests that there may be an age-related failure of the conversion of the
clock's molecular rhythm into the electrical or humeral signals that the brain uses for communication. These
weakened central signals may fail to keep some peripheral clocks appropriately synchronized or, in some cases,
even rhythmic." The scientists studied tissues from the brain and other organs of older mice and measured the
activity of a gene that is a part of the biological clock. They found that the central dock in the brain, the
suprachiasmatic nucleus, maintained proper periodicity and synchronization. Clocks in some peripheral organs,
such as the liver and kidney of older animals, were either improperly synchronized or had lost rhythm entirely.
"This new knowledge could eventually lead to new therapies for age-related desynchronization," Block said.
"Arrhythmic or improperly synchronized tissues of old animals could possibly be stimulated by a treatment to
oscillate normally."

1. Which of these factors is held responsible for the slowing down of the vital organs in old age as laid down in the
passage?
(a) Molecular machinery of the master clock and the peripheral clocks in the brain

(d) None of these

3. What was the breakthrough achieved, as a result of the scientist's effort?

(a) The discovery of the fact that the clocks in some peripheral organs were either improperly synchronized or had
lost their rhythm completely
(b) The observation that the brain uses humeral signals for communication
(c) The knowledge that the oscillation is necessary to maintain a person's level of alertness
(d) None of these

LEGAL REASONING

1. Legal Principle:
I. Slander is any defamation that is spoken or heard.
II. Libel is any defamation that can be seen like writing, printing, movie, statue etc.
Factual Situation: Meeta and Reeta are both popular actresses in the Hindi film industry. They were the best of
friends. However, when Meeta was replaced by Reeta in a film, she came on the sets of the film and interrupted the
shooting. She started ranting on how Reeta used to pay directors and producers in order to compel them to cast her.
Following this public outburst, Reeta lost out on major endorsement deals as companies were apprehensive about
her damaged reputation.
(a) Reeta can sue Meeta for libel.
(b) Reeta can sue Meeta for slander.
(c) Reeta cannot sue Meeta for none of the statements made by Meeta were published.
(d) Reeta can sue Meeta for a criminal wrong.

2. Legal Principle: 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 the person will meet an instant death if he does not do it, provided the person does not do the act of his own accord,
or from a reasonable apprehension of harm to himself short of instant death, puts himself in a situation by which he
became subject to such constraint.
Factual Situation: Damodar is a pharmacist by profession. He was sleeping at night when a group of smugglers
broke into his house and compelled him to hide banned substances in his house at gunpoint as the police were after
them. The police soon nabbed the smugglers and on recovering drugs from Damodar’s house, they charged him as
an accomplice too.

(a) Damodar is liable to be prosecuted on charges similar to those against the smugglers.
(b) Damodar is not liable since he acted under the fear of being shot by the smugglers.
(c) Damodar is liable to be prosecuted but the charges would be mitigated for him since he is not a smuggler.
(d) Damodar is not liable to be prosecuted as he was a pharmacist by profession and could reasonably be in
possession of the drugs.

3. Legal Principle: Agreements by way of wager are void except those entered into for or toward any plate, prize or sum
of money of the value or amount of Rs.500 or upwards, to be rewarded to the winner or winners of any horse-race.
By this principle, the law encourages people to rely on hard work and labour rather than games of chance and luck
to earn a living and do good for themselves, their family and society.
Factual Situation: Feroz is a lazy man who spends most his time gambling and betting on horse races to earn money.
One day, he placed a bet for a sum of Rs. 350 on a horse race with his friend Harish. Feroz kept pursuing Harish to
pay the amount when Harish lost the bet but Harish refused to do so, saying there was no valid agreement between
them.

(b) Feroz cannot sue Harish for breach of contract.
(c) Harish can sue Feroz for harassment and extortion.
(d) Feroz can be asked to pay Rs.350 to Harish since he relies on gambling to make a living.

4. Legal Principles:
I. Whenever it is provided that the Court ‘may presume’ a fact, it may either regard such fact as proved, unless and
until it is disproved, or may call for proof of it
II. Whenever it is directed by the Indian Evidence Act that the court ‘shall presume’ a fact, it shall regard such fact as
proved, unless and until it is disproved
Factual Situation: Gauri was working as a personal assistant to Mr. Rao. She was a very diligent worker. She
maintained a record of all the files and correspondence and never gave Mr. Rao a chance to complain. However, one
day he made sexually coloured remarks to her, after which she walked out of his office, making it clear that she was
not comfortable with such conduct. The next day, when she came back to the office, she was told she had been fired
from her job. Gauri has filed a case of sexual harassment and wrongful termination against Mr. Rao. The court has

Head Office: 127, Zone II, MP Nagar, Bhopal |+91-7676564400| https://www.toprankers.com Page 1 of 5
 not sought any evidence as to the fact that Gauri was an employee of Mr. Rao, and has proceeded with the case,
unless the former is disproved.
The fact of employment of Gauri, as per the facts, would fit as something the Court:
(a) May presume (b) Shall presume
(c) Conclusive evidence (d) None of the above

Legal Principles (Q.5 and Q.6): As per the Constitution of India, the State shall direct its policy towards securing
equal pay for equal work for both men and women. While denial of equal pay for equal work becomes irrational
classification within the right to equality (Article 14), this doctrine stipulates equal pay for equal work for those who
are placed equally in all respects, and a person employed on contract cannot claim equal pay on the basis of equal pay
for equal work.
5. Factual Situation: Jenny is an employee of M/s. Fairtraders and works on the marketing division. She has just been
recruited. There are four other members on the core team of the marketing division, all of whom are male. They all
work on the same level for equal number of hours and at the same post of marketing analyst. Their job is to analyze
the sales curve for the products of M/s. Fairtraders on a monthly basis and work on new strategies to increase their
market outreach. At the end of the first month, Jenny noticed that she had received a salary cheque of Rs. 35,000
while her other four colleagues had been given a salary of Rs. 42,000 each.

(b) Jenny cannot claim the same salary as her male colleagues as the salary has been fixed as per the division of
work in the marketing team
(c) Jenny cannot claim the same salary as her male colleagues as she has just been recruited
(d) Jenny can claim equal pay as her male colleagues for she is a woman and more qualified than the others

6. Factual Situation: M/s. Drill House engaged the services of Shami, a hardware expert by profession. Shami signed
a contract with the company for working on their construction sites for one year and the consideration amount was
Rs. 1.5 lakhs for the whole year, with equal payments every month. After working at their construction site with two
other hardware specialists (permanent employees of M/s. DrillHouse) for a month, Shami complained that the other
two were each being paid Rs.12, 000 per month which was unfair as he was working as hard as them.
(a) Shami will succeed in his claim under the doctrine of equal pay for equal work
(b) Shami will succeed in his claim as it amounts to irrational classification under Article 14
(c) Shami will not succeed in his claim as he is working for the company on a contract
(d) Shami will not succeed in his claim as there is not much variation between his salary and that of his other two
colleagues
7. Legal Principle: When, at the desire of the promisor, the promisee or any other person has done or abstained from
doing, or does or abstains from doing, or promises to do or to abstain from doing, something, such act or abstinence or
promise is called a consideration for the promise
A promise founded on motive of generosity, prudence and natural duty is a promise without consideration.
Factual Situation: Raju was chased by a group of thugs near the police station. The inspector, Mr. Khan happened
to be Raju’s neighbour. Raju went to Mr. Khan’s house later in the evening and narrated his misery. He requested

property.
Factual Situation: M/s. Dribble and Co. were renowned manufacturers for sports equipments. They launched a new
type of cricket ball in the market which had extra bounce and was best for practising fast catches and honing one’s
fielding skills. Barrie bought the ball and started playing with it right next to Mrs.Frosty’s house. The ball nearly hit
the glass windows four times but Barrie kept on playing with it, until finally, the ball hit the window and shattered
it.
Who will be liable for breach of duty of care in this case?
(a) M/s. Dribble and Co. (b) Barrie
(c) Mrs. Frosty (d) All of the above

14. Legal Principle: Nothing is an offence which is done by a person who, at the time of doing it, is, by reason of
intoxication, incapable of knowing the nature of the act, or that he is doing what is either wrong, or contrary to law
provided that the thing which intoxicated him was administered to him without his knowledge or against his will.
Voluntary intoxication is not a plea recognized as an exception to criminal liability.
Factual Situation: Tarun was at an office party. His colleagues kept persuading him to drink more and he ended up
getting very intoxicated. In this inebriated state, Tarun went and started troubling and passing lewd remarks on a
female colleague. She has now filed a complaint of sexual harassment against him.

(a) Tarun can escape punishment claiming he was in an intoxicated state when he made the remarks
(b) Tarun can escape punishment claiming that his colleagues had talked him into drinking too much alcohol
(c) Tarun cannot escape punishment as he had voluntarily been intoxicated
(d) Tarun will be punished but his liability will be mitigated by reason of his intoxicated state

15. Legal Principle: The tort of nuisance involves strict liability for a neighbour who interferes with another’s enjoyment
of his real property.
Factual Situation: Ram bought the house adjacent to Shyam’s and installed a sprinkler in the garden. The sprinkler
was positioned such that the water crossed into Shyam’s garden as well, and sprayed the antique bench that was
stationed there. Shyam complained to Ram, but to no avail.
Which of the following is correct?
I. Ram’s actions constitute tort of nuisance
II. Ram is strictly liable for the nuisance caused to Shyam in this case
III. Ram is not at fault, as he has installed the sprinkler on his property
IV. Ram will only be liable if considerable damage to the furniture on Shyam’s property occurs

(a) I, II (b) III (c) IV (d) III, IV

Legal Principles (Q.16 and Q.17): Intentional torts are intentional acts that are reasonably foreseeable to cause
harm to an individual and that do so.
In most cases, transferred intent, which occurs when the defendant intends to injure an individual but actually ends
up injuring another individual, will satisfy the intent requirement.
Factual Situation: Tinu, an infamous assassin was given Rs.30,000to beat up Samrat, a businessman. Tinu was
waiting outside a restaurant where Samrat had gone for dinner, with a plan to ambush him. When Samrat walked
out, Tinu dragged him to a corner and began beating him but just then, Samrat’s friend Kamran saw this and ran to
help Samrat. He got hit with the rear end of the pole with which Tinu was thrashing Samrat when he intervened in
the scuffle.

16. Which of the following is correct?

I. Direct intent was involved in Tinu’s actions
II. Transferred intent was involved in Tinu’s actions
III. Samrat suffered from a reasonably foreseeable harm
IV. Tinu cannot be held liable for an intentional tort
(a) I,III (b) I,II (c) I,II,III (d) II,IV

17. Factual Situation: Say, Tinu while waiting to beat up Samrat, nabbed the wrong person and started beating him up
instead. Will the victim be successful in filing a tortious claim against Tinu?
(a) Yes, because Tinu’s actions involve transferred intent
(b) Yes, because Tinu’s actions involve direct intent
(c) No, because Tinu did not intend to hurt the other person
(d) It cannot be determined from the facts

18. Legal Principle: False imprisonment is the restraint of a person in a bounded area without justification or consent.
Factual Situation: A group of thugs came into a supermarket in an attempt to loot it. They held the customers
present inside at gunpoint, and forced them to stay inside while the thugs completed the robbery. Then, they locked
them all from outside and fled from the scene.

(a) The above is an instance of false imprisonment as the customers were detained in the store without their
consent or justification

Head Office: 127, Zone II, MP Nagar, Bhopal |+91-7676564400| https://www.toprankers.com Page 4 of 5
 (b) The above is an instance of false imprisonment as the customers were detained while the robbery was taking
place
(c) It would not be false imprisonment if the thugs had not locked the store from outside and fled
(d) It would not be false imprisonment as the customers could have attempted to escape

19. Legal Principle: Replevin is the legal remedy for a person to recover goods unlawfully withheld from his or her
possession, by means of a special form of legal process in which a court may require a defendant to return specific goods
to the plaintiff at the outset of the action, that is, before judgment. The summary remedy afforded by replevin statutes
can be thwarted by defendants who contest the claimant’s right to possession, by contesting the plaintiff’s complaint,
and insisting on traditional litigation or trial by jury, where applicable.
Factual Situation: Barry had kept some valuables with Richie as part of a mortgage between the two. However,
even after paying off the required sum to Richie, Richie refused to return the valuables to Barry. When Barry filed a
claim with the court regarding the unlawful possession of his property by Richie, the court gave a judgment in favour
of Barry.
Which of the following is correct?

(a) Barry received a remedy in the form of replevin

(b) Barry received a remedy in the form of the judgment of the court
(c) Richie can thwart the remedy given by the court by means of a trial by jury
(d) None of the above

20. Legal Principle: Self-defence is a valid defence to trespasses against the person, provided that it constituted the use of
reasonable force which they honestly and reasonably believe is necessary to protect themselves, or someone else, or
property.
The force used must be proportionate to the threat.
Factual Situation: Rohit and Mohit were colleagues and were fierce competitors at work. One day, they started
having an argument outside the office. Rohit accused Mohit of embezzling funds and Mohit pushed him. Rohit,
infuriated, pulled out a knife and slashed Mohit’s hand, leaving Mohit with a gaping cut.

(a) Rohit can claim that he acted against Mohit in self-defence since Mohit threatened his property
(b) Rohit can claim that he acted against Mohit in self-defence since Mohit threatened his person and capability at
work
(c) Rohit cannot claim self-defence as a valid defence for the force he used was not proportionate to the threat
(d) Rohit cannot claim self-defence as a valid defence for he harboured secret intentions of injuring Mohit
