Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given beside.
1600 teenagers gathered at a function. They were asked about their interests. Each teenager was interested in at least one thing among watches, mobile phones and bikes. 60% of total teenagers were interested in bikes. 65% of total teenagers were interested in mobile phones. 80% of total teenagers were interested in watches. 30% of total teenagers were interested in all three things. 50% of total teenagers were interested in both watches and bikes. 10% of total teenagers were interested in only watches. 20% of total teenagers were interested in both watches and mobile phones but not in bikes.
Q. How many teenagers were interested in watches?
  • a)
    800
  • b)
    960
  • c)
    1080
  • d)
    1280
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

From common explanation, we have
Reqd. number = 80% of 1600 = 1280
Hence, Option D is correct.
Common explanation:
60% of total teenagers were interested in bikes. 65% of total teenagers were interested in mobile phones. 80% of total teenagers were interested in watches. 30% of total teenagers were interested in all three things. 10% of total teenagers were interested in only watches. 20% of total teenagers were interested in both watches and mobile phones but not in bikes.

50% of total teenagers were interested in both watches and bikes. 
Total teenagers who were interested in both watches and bikes but not in mobile phones = 50% – 30% = 20%

Let those who are interested in only mobile phones = x%
Those who are interested in both mobile phones and bikes but not in watches = 65% – (20 + 30 + x)% = 15% – x%
Those who are interested in only bikes = 60% – (20 + 30 + 15 – x)% = x% – 5%

x% – 5% + 15% – x% + x% = 100% – 80%
x% = 10%

PRINCIPLES:
1. If A is asked to do something by B, B is responsible for the act, not A.
2. If A, while acting for B commits a wrong, A is responsible for the wrong, not B.
3. If A is authorised to do something for B, but in the name of A without disclosing B’s presence, both A and B may be held liable.
FACTS: Somu contracted with Amar whereunder Amar would buy a pumpset to be used in Somu’s farm. Such a pumpset was in short supply in the market.

PROPOSED DECISION:
a) Amar alone is liable for the wrong though he acted for Somu.
b) Amar is not liable for the wrong, though he is bound by the contract with Somu.
c) Somu is bound by the contract and liable for the wrong.
d) Both Somu and Amar are liable for the wrong.

In computer programming, code smell is any symptom in the source code of a programme that possibly indicates a deeper problem. Code smells are usually not bugs - they are not technically incorrect and don't currently prevent the programme from functioning. Instead, they indicate weaknesses in design that may be slowing down development or increasing the risk of bugs or failures in the future. But when code is a slow, wretchedly designed mess that's hard to maintain, programmers talk about stench. The metaphor becomes olfactory, the swill of gases that rise from rot and decay.

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.
When parties to a contract are under a 'mistake' regarding an important fact related to such contract, it may affect the contract in two ways. It may, firstly, defeat the consent altogether that the parties are supposed to have given, that is to say, the consent is unreal. Two or more persons are said to consent when they agree upon the same thing in the same sense. Secondly, the mistake may mislead the parties as to the purpose which they had contemplated. Where the mistake does not defeat consent, but only misleads the parties, i.e. where both parties to an agreement are under a mistake as to a matter of fact essential to the agreement, the agreement is void. However, if the mistake is concerning an erroneous opinion regarding value of the subject-matter of the agreement, it is not a mistake as to a matter of fact. Thus, agreement is void when: (1) both the parties to an agreement are mistaken, (2) their mistake is as to a matter of fact, and (3) the fact about which they are mistaken is essential to the agreement. Further, it is pertinent to note that a mistake, in order to invalidate a contract, should be a mistake of fact and not a mistake of law. Furthermore, where only one party to the contract is under mistake of fact, and the other party is not, the contract is not voidable merely for such reason.

Kidnapping- In the case of State of Haryana v Raja Ram, the accused induced the prosecutrix who was 14 years of age away from her lawful guardianship. The Supreme Court held that the persuasion by the accused created a will on the part of minor which kept her away from her lawful guardianship for any amount of time and therefore it amounted to ‘kidnapping’. Section 361 of the Code provides that when a person entices a minor (16 years for male and 18 years for female) or a person of unsound mind, person so enticing will be held liable for kidnapping such minor or person from lawful guardianship. Lawful guardianship shall include any person who has been authorized by law to take care and has of the person who has yet not attained the age of majority. As the person being kidnapped is a minor the consent of the minor does not have any relevance in the given case. This crime requires the actus reus.
Abduction - In the case of Bahadur Ali v King Emperor, the accused misrepresented himself as a police constable and kept a girl in his house for a ransom of Rs 600. The court held that his act amounted to abduction. Any person either by force has compelled or induced any other person to go from any place, shall be booked with abduction. The means used in case of abduction may be force, compulsion or deceitful means. Consent by the person being abducted condones the accused from the offence so charged against him/her.The consent should be given prior to the procedure of the abduction and not while he/she is being abducted. The offence requires the mens rea and the actus reus.
Q. Who all will be considered as a lawful guardian of a minor?

Dia Mehta answered
There is no specific list of people who can be considered as lawful guardians. However the definition makes it clear that any person who has to lawfully take care of the minor. Parents, teachers and servants can be lawful guardians.

The city of Mahabalipuram was largely developed by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I in the 7th century AD. The mandapa or pavilions and the rathas or shrines shaped as temple chariots are hewn from the granite rock face, while the famed Shore Temple erected half a century later, is built from dressed stone. The Pancha Rathas shrines were carved during the reign of King Mahendravarman I and his son Narasimhavarman I. The purpose of their constructions not known, structures are not completed.

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.
As the Taliban's campaign to reconquer Afghanistan was gathering pace in June, hundreds of people were dying in the fighting, and tens of thousands were fleeing. Danish Siddiqui, a 38-year-old star photojournalist for Reuters based in New Delhi, decided he wanted to help cover the story, telling a boss: "If we don't go, who will?"
On Sunday, July 11, Siddiqui arrived at a base of the Afghan Special Forces in the southern city of Kandahar.
On Tuesday, July 13, Siddiqui joined a successful mission to rescue a policeman who was surrounded by insurgents. His convoy was returning when it came under fire from rocket-propelled grenades.
The Humvee he was travelling in was hit by one of the RPGs. Siddiqui captured on video the flash and jolt as a grenade struck the side of his vehicle and the commandos up front drove through the barrage. His images and report of the mission went on the Reuters wire, and he later shared the action on Twitter.
Three days later, Siddiqui and two Afghan commandos were killed in a Taliban attack while on another mission, a failed attempt to retake the key border town of Spin Boldak.

Directions: Study the following information carefully answer the question given beside.
India has come under fire at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) for avoiding questions raised by members on its MSP programmes for food grain, particularly rice, where subsidies have breached prescribed limits. Some countries have alleged that India did not give sufficient replies to concerns raised by them during consultations.
Members such as the U.S., Australia, Canada, the EU, and Thailand, said at a WTO agriculture committee meeting on Monday, that India must reply to questions asked on its public stockholding (PSH) programmes at the committee, according to sources. “India, however, stuck to its guns and insisted that it provided the best possible information and clarifications at the consultations held with interested members based on available information.
India’s MSP programmes are under scrutiny at the WTO, as it is the first country to invoke the Bali ‘peace clause’ to justify exceeding its 10% ceiling (of the total value of rice production) for rice support in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. While the ‘peace clause’ allows developing countries to breach the 10% ceiling without invoking legal action by members, it is subject to onerous notification requirements and numerous conditions such as not distorting global trade and not affecting food security of other members.

Nilesh Patel answered
The Bali 'peace clause' is invoked by developing countries at the WTO to gain temporary approval for exceeding subsidy limits, specifically for food security purposes. It does not exempt them from all trade regulations or allow them to freely distort global trade but aims to strike a balance between supporting food security needs and adhering to global trade rules.

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.
What's life-sustaining becomes life-threatening when it gets contaminated and is transfused into an unsuspecting patient. Safe blood transfusion continues to be a major challenge for the healthcare sector in India. Back in 1996, the Supreme Court had told the Union Government to 'consider the advisability' of enacting a separate legislation for regulating the collection, processing, storage, distribution and transportation of blood and the operation of blood banks in the country. Consequently, the National Blood Transfusion Council was established, followed by the framing of the National Blood Policy.
The petitioners have red-flagged the mushrooming of stand-alone private blood banks which not only provide products of inconsistent quality but also fleece patients with impunity. Several blood banks in Punjab's Doaba region have been under scrutiny in recent years over quality control and pricing issues.
The petition has claimed that the number of registered and licensed blood banks in India is abysmally low — less than three per 10 lakh population. Ideally, every district hospital should have a blood bank. However, merely expanding the network of such storage centres is not enough to improve the state of affairs. It's imperative that each blood bank should have adequate infrastructure and trained manpower. The authorities ought to address the shortage of trained healthcare professionals in the field of transfusion medicine. Strict enforcement of the licensing norms can help to stem the rot. With precious lives at stake, unscrupulous elements cannot be allowed to bleed people dry.
Q. Which of the following is an example of a situation in which the transfusion of contaminated blood turned out to be life-threatening?

Eshaan Kapoor answered
The term 'life-threatening' can be best illustrated by option D. Option A merely mentions about 'bacterial infection'; options B and C are examples of situation in which contaminated blood products were not the main issue, but the lack of blood and medical facilities posed an issue.
