Given Information:
- Eight persons L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, and T are sitting around a circular table facing the center.
- Q is not the neighbor of P or R.
- M is second to the left of T and third to the right of P.
- R is third to the left of N, who is to the immediate left of T.
- L is second to the right of P.

To Find: The neighbors of T

Solution:
- We can start by drawing a diagram to represent the given information. Let's assume that T is at the top of the circle and draw the other persons around it:
```
R
N T P
S M
Q L
```
- From the given information, we know that:
- Q is not the neighbor of P or R. So, Q cannot be sitting next to T.
- M is second to the left of T and third to the right of P. So, P must be sitting between M and T. Also, since there are only eight persons, M cannot be sitting next to T. Therefore, P must be sitting next to T, and M must be sitting opposite to T.
- R is third to the left of N, who is to the immediate left of T. So, R must be sitting next to T, and N must be sitting opposite to T.
- L is second to the right of P. So, L must be sitting two places clockwise from T.
- Based on the above deductions, we can fill in the remaining positions:
```
R
N T P
S L M
Q |
-------
```
- Now, we can see that the neighbors of T are N and P. So, the correct answer is option D, "None of these".

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Directions : Study the following information carefully and answer the questions. A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circle, facing the centre. A sits fourth to the right of H while second to the left of F. C is not the neighbor of F and B. D sits third to the right of C. H never sits next to G.
Who amongst the following sits between B and D?
  • a)
    G
  • b)
    F
  • c)
    H
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Given information:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circle, facing the centre.
A sits fourth to the right of H while second to the left of F.
C is not the neighbor of F and B.
D sits third to the right of C.
H never sits next to G.

To find: Who amongst the following sits between B and D?

Solution:
1. Draw a circle and mark 8 points on it to represent A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H sitting around it facing the center.
2. Use the given information to arrange the positions of the people around the circle:

- A sits fourth to the right of H, so we can place A and H on opposite sides of the circle with 4 other people in between them.
- A is also second to the left of F, so F must be sitting next to A (on the left side of A).
- C is not the neighbor of F and B, so B and C cannot be sitting next to F or each other. Thus, B and C must be sitting on opposite sides of the circle.
- D sits third to the right of C, so we can place C and D on opposite sides of the circle with 2 other people in between them.
- H never sits next to G, so G cannot be sitting next to H.

3. The circle should now look like this:

G - - - - - - - - - H - - - - - - - - - A - - - - - - - - - F - - - - - - - - - E
| |
| |
| |
| |
F B - - - - - - - - - C
| |
| |
| |
| |
E - - - - - - - - - D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

4. To find who is sitting between B and D, we look for the two people sitting on either side of D and B. D is next to E and C, and B is next to C and A. Thus, the person sitting between B and D is C.

Answer: Option B (F)

Directions : Study the following and answer the questions given below:
(i) Five persons A, B, C, D and E are sitting in a circle and their faces are towards the centre.
(ii) D is between B and C.
(iii) B is to the left of E.
Q. ​Who is to the right of ‘E’?
  • a)
    A
  • b)
    B
  • c)
    C
  • d)
    D
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Anaya Patel answered
In this circle ,
B is extreme left to E, E is extreme left to A, A is extreme left to C ,C is extreme left to D ,
as well as D is extreme left to B .
So , the 2nd line means that A is extreme right of E.
That's why,
A is the right answer.

Principle:
I. An Interference with the use of the property of another person is nuisance.
II. To constitute a tort, an act or an omission must result in the violation of a legal right vested in the plaintiff.
Facts:
Vinay and Navin were old friends and had recently started living next door to each other. Navin cooked delicious steak on barbecue, and Vinay was a fan of Navin’s cooking. Therefore, when it was Vinay’s birthday, he requested Navin to cook the steak for him. Navin agreed happily. However, when he started cooking, the smoke from the barbeque was blown by wind straight into Vinay’s house. Vinay felt nauseated and had to leave the house and stay out all night. Is Navin liable for nuisance?
  • a)
    No, because Vinay asked Navin to prepare steak for him.
  • b)
    Yes, because blowing smoke from a barbeque into another’s house and the smoke causing discomfort is a foreseeable situation.
  • c)
    Yes, because Navin’s act interfered with Vinay’s use of property. 
  • d)
    No, because Navin did not know that Vinay would have such a reaction to smoke from barbeque.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Aspire Academy answered
The Principle is quite wide in scope and does not create a distinction between authorized and unauthorized interference with the use of property. Thus, the interference under this principle would amount to nuisance.
 

Principle:
I. A person can be held guilty under the tort of negligence only if there is proximate cause and the damage is not too remote
II. Proximate cause means that you must be able to show that the harm was caused by the tort you are suing for
III. Proximate cause may be doubtful when a superseding intervening cause happens shortly after the injury.
Facts: Bantu was playing in the school soccer field when he got hit hard by the ball in his chest by a friend. He fell unconscious and suffered severe internal injuries. His mother decided to sue for the tort of negligence.
Which of the following is correct?
  • a)
    The damage to Bantu was due to proximate cause
  • b)
    The damage to Bantu was remote
  • c)
    The damage to Bantu was due to superseding intervening cause
  • d)
    None of the above
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Aryan Khanna answered
Going by principles I and II, it is clear that Bantu was injured as a direct result of being hit by the ball on the soccer field, and neither the cause nor the damage was too remote. Thus, it may be deduced that the damage to Bantu was due to proximate cause.

Given Information:
- B, M, K, H, T, R, D, W and A are sitting around a circle facing at the centre.
- R is third to the right of B.
- H is second to the right of A who is second to the right of R.
- K is third to the right of T who is not an immediate neighbour of H.
- D is second to the left of T.
- M is fourth to the right of W.

To find: Who is to the immediate left of D?

Solution:
- We need to draw a circle and place all the given persons on it, facing towards the center.
- From the given information, we can place R at the third position to the right of B.
- A is second to the right of R, so A will be placed after R in the clockwise direction.
- H is second to the right of A, so H will be placed after A in the clockwise direction.
- T is not an immediate neighbor of H, so we can place T at any position except the two adjacent positions of H. Let's place T between B and M.
- K is third to the right of T, so K will be placed after T, three positions to the right.
- D is second to the left of T, so D will be placed before T, two positions to the left.
- M is fourth to the right of W, so M will be placed after K, four positions to the right.
- Now, we can see that the immediate left of D is H.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' (H).

    The plaintiff's suit should be decreed in his favour
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Eshaan Kapoor answered
The defendant is liable for nuisance as it was his duty to manage the queues of customers that was effecting the neighbouring shops. Nuisance, in law, is a human action or a physical condition that is destructive or hostile to other people and offers ascend to a reason for the activity. An open irritation made in an open spot or on open land, or influencing the ethics, security, or soundness of the network, is viewed as an offence against the state.

Principle: Whoever stores a substance that could potentially cause damage on escape shall be absolutely liable for any damage caused by the escape of such substance from its premises. The person will be liable for the tort of negligence. 
Facts: Prerna and Anurag decide to buy a mini- chemical capsule for their scientific experiments. The minuscule capsule has great potentiality for damage if broken, and hence Prerna and Anurag take complete precautions against that. However, one day the capsule breaks due to an earthquake. Their neighbour, Bajaj, rushes into their premises to check what caused the loud sound that accompanied the breakage of the object. Prerna and Anurag ensure that the damage is contained within the premises of the room. However, their neighbour, Bajaj, sues them for the damage caused to him due to contact with the toxic object.
  • a)
    Bajaj was responsible for entering their premises and cannot sue Prerna or Anurag for his stupidity.
  • b)
    The object did not escape the premises, and hence Prerna and Anurag would not be liable.
  • c)
    The act of keeping a dangerous object would in itself make Prerna and Anurag absolutely liable.
  • d)
    None of the above.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Radhika Koli answered
According to the principal the person would be liable for the damage caused by a dangerous substance owned by him/her if it was because of their own negligence. But as stated In the question , Damage was caused because of the Act of God i.e Earthquake. Act of God is something which is beyond human control.
Therefore, Prerna and Anurag would not be liable since the damage caused was not because of their negligence but Act of God.
I hope this clears your doubt .

The square of  is
  • a)
  • b)
    3/5
  • c)
    -9/25
  • d)
    9/25
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
The square of a number is obtained by multiplying the number by itself. In this case, we need to find the square of -3/5.

To calculate the square of a fraction, we square both the numerator and the denominator separately. So, the square of -3/5 can be calculated as (-3/5)^2.

To simplify the calculation, we can write -3/5 as a fraction with positive numerator and denominator by multiplying both numerator and denominator by -1. This gives us (-1*-3)/(-1*5) = 3/5.

Now, we can square 3/5. Squaring the numerator gives us (3^2) = 9, and squaring the denominator gives us (5^2) = 25.

So, the square of -3/5 is (3/5)^2 = 9/25.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D) 9/25.

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anshul Pillai answered
Ancestors and dead relations were believed to punish individuals for their wrongdoings or to bring misfortune upon them. This belief was prevalent in many ancient cultures and still exists in some traditional societies today.

In these belief systems, it was thought that the spirits of deceased family members had the ability to observe the actions of the living and intervene in their lives. They were believed to have the power to cause illness, accidents, or other misfortunes as a form of punishment for immoral or unethical behavior.

The idea behind this belief was to maintain social order and ensure that individuals acted in accordance with societal norms and values. It served as a form of social control, as people were discouraged from engaging in harmful or immoral actions due to the fear of retribution from their ancestors.

Various rituals and ceremonies were performed to appease the spirits of ancestors and ensure their favor. These rituals often involved offerings, prayers, and other forms of communication with the deceased. By showing respect and reverence to their ancestors, people believed they could avoid punishment and receive blessings instead.

This belief in ancestral punishment also extended to concepts of karma and reincarnation in some cultures. It was believed that the repercussions of one's actions in this life would not only affect them but also carry over to their future lives. Therefore, behaving morally and ethically was seen as crucial for avoiding future suffering.

While these beliefs may seem outdated or superstitious to some, they continue to hold significance for many individuals and communities. They provide a sense of connection to their ancestors and serve as a reminder of the importance of living a virtuous life.

Light year is the unit of -
  • a)
    Frequency  
  • b)
    Distance  
  • c)
    Energy
  • d)
    Power
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Garima patil answered
**Explanation:**

The correct answer is option **B) Distance**.

A light-year is a unit of distance used in astronomy to measure large distances in space. It is defined as the distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum. Since light travels at a constant speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (or about 186,282 miles per second), the distance covered by light in one year is immense.

To better understand the concept of a light-year, let's break down the distance calculation and the significance of using this unit in astronomy:

**Definition of a Light-Year:**
- A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year.
- Light travels at a speed of about 299,792 kilometers per second (or about 186,282 miles per second).
- Therefore, in one year, light can travel about 9.46 trillion kilometers (or about 5.88 trillion miles).

**Importance of Light-Years in Astronomy:**
- The vast distances between celestial objects in space make it impractical to use conventional units like kilometers or miles.
- Astronomers use light-years to measure the distances between stars, galaxies, and other objects in the universe.
- Light-years allow us to comprehend the enormous scale of the universe and the time it takes for light to travel across such vast distances.

**Examples of Light-Years:**
- The nearest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri, is approximately 4.24 light-years away.
- The Andromeda Galaxy, our closest neighboring galaxy, is about 2.537 million light-years away.
- The observable universe is estimated to be about 93 billion light-years in diameter.

In conclusion, a light-year is a unit of distance used in astronomy to measure the vast distances between celestial objects. It represents the distance that light travels in one year and is an essential tool for understanding the scale and size of the universe.

Which of the following is optical illusion?  
  • a)
    Rainbow  
  • b)
    Earthshine  
  • c)
    Halo
  • d)
    Mirage 
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sonia patil answered
Explanation:
A mirage is an optical illusion that occurs due to the bending of light rays. It is a phenomenon where distant objects appear to be shimmering, distorted, or displaced from their actual position. The correct answer is option 'D' because a mirage fits the description of an optical illusion.

Definition of a Mirage:
A mirage is a phenomenon that occurs when light rays bend due to the variation in air temperature. It usually happens in hot, desert-like environments where the ground is significantly heated. The bending of light causes an apparent displacement of objects, creating the illusion of water or reflections.

Causes of Mirage:
1. Temperature Gradient: Mirages occur due to the temperature gradient in the air. The air close to the ground is hotter than the air higher up. This temperature difference causes the light rays to bend as they pass through the layers of air with varying densities.

2. Total Internal Reflection: When light travels from one medium to another, it bends or refracts. In the case of a mirage, the temperature gradient causes the light rays to bend more than usual, leading to total internal reflection. This reflection creates the illusion of water or a shiny surface.

Types of Mirage:
1. Inferior Mirage: An inferior mirage is the most common type of mirage. It occurs when the air close to the ground is hotter than the air above. This causes the light rays to bend upwards, creating an image of objects below the actual position.

2. Superior Mirage: A superior mirage occurs when the air close to the ground is colder than the air above. In this case, the light rays bend downwards, creating an image of objects above their actual position. Superior mirages are often seen in cold Arctic regions.

Characteristics of a Mirage:
1. Shimmering Effect: Mirages create a shimmering effect, making the reflected image appear unstable or wavering.

2. Displacement: Mirages can displace the position of objects, making them appear higher or lower than their actual location.

3. Illusion of Water: One of the common characteristics of a mirage is the illusion of water. Due to the bending of light, distant objects may appear as if they are reflecting off a water surface.

4. Distance: Mirages often occur at a distance, particularly in desert areas where the ground is heated.

In conclusion, a mirage is an optical illusion that occurs due to the bending of light rays caused by a temperature gradient in the air. It creates the illusion of shimmering, displaced, or distorted objects, often resembling water or reflections.

Q. Find the word most appropriate for Blank no. 12
  • a)
    mission
  • b)
    omission
  • c)
    permission
  • d)
    remission
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Dia Mehta answered
The sentence mentions that ancestors and dead relations punished people for both sins of commission and omission. Sins of commission refer to doing something that is wrong or forbidden, while sins of omission refer to not doing something that is required or expected. Therefore, the appropriate word for blank no. 12 is 'omission', as it refers to the failure to do something that should have been done, and is opposite to sins of commission.

Principle: A contract is not voidable because it was caused by mistake as to any law in force in [India], but a mistake as to a law not in force in [India] has the same effect as a mistake of fact.

    Either (a) or (b)
  • d)
    None of the above

Faizan Khan answered
As per the principle given, a contract is not voidable because it was caused by mistake as to any law in force in [India]. In the instant case, the contract has been entered with an erroneous belief about the Merchant Shipping Act in force in India, and this does not make the contract voidable, nor is it void.

Solution:

Given Data:
B, M, K, H, T, R, D, W and A are sitting around a circle facing at the centre.

R is third to the right of B.

H is second to the right of A who is second to the right of R.

K is third to the right of T who is not an immediate neighbour of H.

D is second to the left of T.

M is fourth to the right of W.

To solve such questions, we follow the below steps:

1) Draw a circle and mark the positions of all the people.

2) Calculate the positions of the remaining people using the given information.

3) Answer the questions based on the positions.

Let’s apply the above steps:

Step 1: Draw a circle and mark the positions of all the people.

We get a circle as below:

Step 2: Calculate the positions of the remaining people using the given information.

Using the given information, we get the following positions:

R is third to the right of B.

H is second to the right of A who is second to the right of R.

K is third to the right of T who is not an immediate neighbour of H.

D is second to the left of T.

M is fourth to the right of W.

Step 3: Answer the questions based on the positions.

In which of the following combinations is the third person sitting in between the first and second persons?

We have four options:

a) WKR
b) RAM
c) WTR
d) MHD

Checking each option:

a) WKR: W is fourth to the right of M. K is third to the right of T. R is third to the right of B. So, the third person in between W and K is T. Hence, option A is incorrect.

b) RAM: R is third to the right of B. A is second to the right of R. M is fourth to the right of W. So, the third person in between R and A is B. Hence, option B is incorrect.

c) WTR: K is third to the right of T. H is not an immediate neighbour of T. Hence, H cannot be in between W and T. So, option C is incorrect.

d) MHD: D is second to the left of T. K is not an immediate neighbour of D. Hence, K cannot be in between M and D. So, option D is incorrect.

Therefore, option A i.e. WKR is the correct answer.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option A".

Eclipses occur due to which optical phenomena?  
  • a)
    Reflection  
  • b)
    Refraction  
  • c)
    Rectilinear propagation  
  • d)
    Diffraction
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aryan Khanna answered
An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object is temporarily obscured, either by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer. Rectilinear propagation is a wave property which states that waves propagate (move or spread out) in straight lines.
