Principle: A Person is entitled to protect his property by using lawful means.
Ramlal is growing valuable vegetables and fruits on his farm and he has fenced the farm to prevent the cattle from entering into it. In addition he has kept a ferocious dog to chase away intruding urchins and cattle. Some children were playing in a nearby playground and the ball slipped into the farm. A boy running after the ball came near the fence and shouted for the ball. But when there was no response, he managed to creep into the farm to get the ball. The dog which was surreptitiously waiting attacked the boy and badly mauled him. The boy’s parents filed a suit against Ramlal. 
  • a)
    Ramlal is not liable, since the fence and the dog are lawful means of protecting the property.
  • b)
    Ramlal is not liable for the boy trespassing and getting badly injured in that process.

2. One shall not take any unauthorised materials into the examination hall.
Facts
Rohini, an examinee in PUC., was thoroughly checked while entering into the examination hall. She did not have anything other than authorised materials such as pen, instrument box, etc., with her.

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.
After Interpol removed the Red Notice against fugitive diamantaire Mr. (1) his spokesperson said there is "an alarming case of state orchestrated kidnap, torture and attempted rendition by the Indian government". The spokesperson commented: The report from the Antiguan police, and the evidence adduced by Mr. (1) in the ongoing High Court proceedings in Antigua, point to an alarming case of state orchestrated kidnap, torture and attempted rendition by the Indian government. The decision of Interpol to delete the Red Notice strengthens these concerns. Moreover, the preliminary ruling of the High Court in Antigua demonstrates that there is a case to answer for a full investigation. In turn, Mr. (1) has presented a compelling case that the Indian government is behind the orchestrated kidnap from Antiguan territory, the torture of Mr. (1), and the attempt to render him to India in breach of the international rule of law. In December 2018, Mr. (1), who has been facing Rs. 11,356.84 crore loan fraud case of Punjab National Bank (PNB), was added to the Red Notice list. Concerned authorities of the Indian government objected to the move of Interpol but the body which made that decision didn't budge. This is a huge set back to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) which were waiting for his deportation. However, official probing his matter said that it will not much effect Mr. (1) 's extradition from Antigua.

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
In contracts of insurance, indemnity or guarantee one thing in common is that they create an obligation on the promisor if an event which is collateral to the contract does or does not happen. The insurer is not called into action until the event of the death of the insured happens. This is a contingent contract.
Under Section 31 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, contingent contracts are defined as a contract in which two or more parties enter into a contract to do or not do something, if an event which is collateral to the contract does or does not happen, then it is a contingent contract.
The condition for which the contract has been entered into must be a future event, and it should be uncertain. If the performance of the contract is dependent on an event, which is although a future event, but certain and sure to happen, then it'll not be considered as a contingent contract.
The contingent contracts to do or abstain from doing something if an uncertain future event happens. However, the contract cannot be enforced by law unless the event takes place. If the event becomes impossible, such contracts become void.
If a contract contingent upon how a person will act at a future time, the event shall be considered impossible when such person does anything which makes it impossible for the event to happen. Such an agreement is valid.
Contingent contracts to do or not to do anything if a future uncertain event happens within a fixed time. Such a contract is void if the event does not happen and the time lapses. It is also void if before the time fixed, the happening of the event becomes impossible. Contingent contract to do or not to do anything if an uncertain event does not happen within a fixed time may be enforced by law when the fixed time has expired, and such event has not happened, or before the time fixed has expired, if it becomes certain that such event will not happen.
[Extracted with edits and revision from Contingent Contracts under Indian Contract Act, blog by ipleaders]
Q. If Y marries Z, X will pay Y some sort of consideration. Z, however, weds A. What is the current state of this contract?
... more

When a contract depends on a person's future actions, the event is deemed impossible if that person takes actions that render the event impossible. In this case, the contingency has become impossible due to Z marrying A, thus invalidating the contract. In other words, it has become impossible.

Directions: Kindly read the passage carefully and answer the questions given beside.
Supporting women in tech has been my ongoing aim as a woman tech founder. Thus, I am excited to see an increase in women’s participation in the workforce. According to a study conducted by 451 Research in 2022, women comprise 34% of the Indian IT workforce. Further, India has achieved a 50:50 gender balance in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education.
However, the same study reports only 51% of women are recruited for entry-level positions. The numbers drop to 25% of women in management positions, and only 1% hold C-suite positions. There is a significant gender gap in employment and leadership opportunities, wages, and workplace perception, among other things.
The current situation requires immediate change that can only be achieved through reordering internal departments, and corporate policies and revamping the business ecosystem. However, the aim to enhance the participation of women in the tech industry will remain incomplete without adequately representing women in policymaking. Though the government has introduced many initiatives (like The Startup India Program) targeting up-skilling and reskilling, education, and finance management for women, exposing them to international markets and trade is necessary.
More initiatives to neutralise the prevailing gender inequality in industries like IT and BFSI are required to create an impartial and prejudice-free work environment. To continue its economic growth, India requires two things –first, stronger entrepreneurial contributions, and second, equal opportunities for men and women to compete for and win projects based on abilities and merit.
Underrepresentation of women in tech roles not only widens the gender gap but also limits the scope of companies to sustain themselves in a competitive market. Going by McKinsey and Company’s ‘Why Diversity Matters’ report, businesses prioritising gender diversity achieve superior financial returns than those failing to promote gender equality. Companies must widen their talent pools in a competitive market dominated by skill gaps through a better gender equality approach.
Unfortunately, engineering and core STEM jobs are still seen as male-dominated professions keeping women away from the numerous opportunities in artificial intelligence, data analytics, and robotics. Adding insult to injury, the prevalence of bias in the tech industry worsens the situation. Whether conscious or unconscious, such biases often lead to subtle discrimination with damaging consequences for women employees and businesses. Owing to this, deserving women candidates are excluded from projects, promotions, and leadership opportunities.
Q. What inference can be drawn from the information provided in the passage?
... more

Nilesh Patel answered
The passage cites McKinsey and Company's report, which indicates that companies emphasizing gender diversity attain better financial outcomes. This implies a favorable connection between gender diversity and long-term prosperity in a competitive market, thus supporting option B as the accurate inference from the passage.
Therefore, option B is the appropriate choice.

How often should I take mock tests during my CLAT exam preparation?

Kriti reddy answered
Introduction:
Taking mock tests is an essential part of CLAT exam preparation. It helps in assessing your knowledge, identifying strengths and weaknesses, improving time management skills, and gaining familiarity with the exam pattern. However, determining the frequency of taking mock tests can vary depending on individual preferences and study schedules.

Factors to cons
... more
There are several factors to consider when deciding how often to take mock tests during CLAT exam preparation. These include:

1. Time availability: Assessing how much time you can dedicate to mock tests is crucial. If you have a lot of spare time, you can take mock tests more frequently. However, if your schedule is packed with other study activities, it might be better to space out your mock tests.

2. Level of preparation: If you are in the initial stages of your preparation, it is advisable to take mock tests less frequently. This allows you to focus on building your foundation and conceptual understanding. As you progress and gain confidence, you can increase the frequency of mock tests.

3. Target score: If you have set a specific target score for the CLAT exam, you can plan your mock tests accordingly. If your target score is high, you may need to take more mock tests to gauge your progress and identify areas for improvement.

4. Performance analysis: It is crucial to analyze your performance in mock tests thoroughly. Identify the topics or sections where you are consistently scoring low and focus on improving them. If you are unable to analyze your performance within a short span, it is advisable to take mock tests less frequently.

Recommended frequency:
Considering the factors mentioned above, a recommended frequency for taking mock tests during CLAT exam preparation can be as follows:

1. Initial stage: In the initial stage of preparation, focus on building your foundation and understanding the concepts. Take one or two mock tests per month to assess your basic knowledge and identify areas that require more attention.

2. Intermediate stage: Once you have covered the syllabus and gained a reasonable understanding of the topics, increase the frequency of mock tests. Take one or two mock tests every two weeks to track your progress and identify areas for improvement.

3. Final stage: As the exam date approaches, increase the frequency of mock tests further. Take at least one mock test per week to practice time management, improve speed, and familiarize yourself with the exam pattern.

Conclusion:
Taking mock tests is an integral part of CLAT exam preparation. The frequency of taking mock tests can vary depending on factors such as time availability, level of preparation, target score, and performance analysis. It is advisable to start with a lower frequency in the initial stage and gradually increase it as you progress. Regular analysis of mock test performance is essential to identify areas for improvement and focus your preparation efforts effectively.

Q. What is the ratio of number of males in Marketing department to the number of males in HR department?
... more

Aryan Khanna answered
Total number of employees working in various departments = 4,500
Number of employees in IT department = 18% of 4,500 = 810
Number of male employees in IT department = 2/3 of 810 = 540
Number of female employees in IT department = 1/3 of 810 = 270
Number of employees engaged in Marketing = 20% of 4,500 = 900
Number of male employees in Marketing = 2/5 of 900 = 360
Number of female employees in Marketing = 3/5 of 900 = 540
Numbers of workers running HR department = 12% of 4,500 = 540
Number of male employees in HR department = 5/6 of 540 = 450
Number of female employees in HR department = 1/6 of 540 = 90
Number of persons employed in Production department= 15% of 4,500 = 675
Number of male employees in Production department = 3/5 of 675 = 405
Number of female employees in production department = 2/5 of 675 = 270
Number of persons occupied in Purchase department = 24% of 4,500 = 1,080
Number of male employees in Purchase department = 1/2 of 1,080 = 540
Number of female employees in Purchase department = 1/2 of 1080 = 540
Number of persons occupied in Accounts department = 11% of 4,500 = 495
Number of male employees in Accounts department = 1/3 of 495 = 165
Number of female employees in Accounts department = 2/3 of 495 = 330

Ratio of number of males in Marketing department to the number of males in HR department = 360 : 450 = 4 : 5

Let the total fund of the organization be 100%.
Therefore,
⇒ 100% = 16 crores⇒ 42% = ?⇒ 42% × 16 crores / 100% = ₹6.72 crores
The percentage of amount used by Building Maintenance is 25%.
⇒ 100% = 16 crores⇒ 25% = ?⇒ 25% × 16 crores / 100% = ₹4 crores
The amount of money left to the Ministry of Home Affairs is 6.72 − 4 = ₹2.72 crores
Hence, the correct answer is ₹2.72 crores.
