Which is the oldest Code of Law in India?
  • A:
    Naradasmriti
  • B:
    Manusmriti
  • C:
    Vedasmriti
  • D:
    Prasarsmriti
The answer is b.

Rohan Chauhan answered
The Law Code of Manu, also called "Manusmrti" ("manusmrti") or "Manu Dharma Shastra" ("manu-dharma-zAstra"), is the oldest Law Code from India. In order to take a new look as to when it was composed, it is useful to examine the clues given to us from the Law Code of Manu itself, from the Rig Veda, from the Indus/Harappan Civilization archeological remains in northwest India and Pakistan and from the "Time-Dates" of the beginning and end of the Indus/Harappan Civilization.
The Code of Manu is a compilation of laws reflecting Hindu thought in the Buddhist period, preserved in a metrical recension, or survey.
It contains 2685 verses, and is evidently not the work of one man, but the production of many minds.

If the radius of circle is increased by 110% its area is increased by
  • a)
    110      
  • b)
    301         
  • c)
    341
  • d)
    501    
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Kavya Saxena answered
Option ( c) 341 is correct. 
Explanation:- 
{Let the initial radius of circle = 10 cm
Then, it's area = π r^ 2 
=  π (10) ^2 
=  100 π cm square. 
Given, (radius is  increased by 110%) 
New radius = ( 100+110) % of 10 cm
=> 210% of 10 cm
{ 210 /100 * 10} cm
=> 21 cm
Therefore, area of circle of radius (21) cm
=> π (21) ^2 
=>  441 π cm square. 
Increase in area=  ( 441 π - 100 π ) cm square. 
=> 341 cm square. }

Can you explain the answer of this question below:

A child born after father's death is

  • A:

    Posthumous

  • B:

    Heir

  • C:

    Intestate

  • D:

    Bastard

The answer is a.

Nisha kapoor answered
Explanation:

A child born after the father's death is referred to as a "posthumous child." Let's explore this term in detail.

Posthumous Child:
- A posthumous child is a child who is born after the death of their biological father.
- The term "posthumous" is derived from the Latin word "posthumus," meaning "after death."
- In legal terms, a child is considered posthumous if they are conceived before the father's death but born after his demise.
- The status of being posthumous can have various legal implications, particularly in matters of inheritance, succession, and legitimacy.

Implications and Considerations:
1. Inheritance:
- In many legal systems, a posthumous child has the right to inherit from their deceased father's estate.
- This right is typically recognized if the child is born within a certain period after the father's death, such as within a specified number of months or years.
- The child may be entitled to a share of the father's property, assets, and other inheritance rights, similar to any other legitimate child.

2. Legitimacy:
- A posthumous child is generally considered legitimate, provided their parents were married at the time of the father's death.
- Legitimacy refers to the legal recognition of the child's status as the offspring of the deceased father.
- However, if the parents were not married, the child may have to establish paternity through legal procedures to claim inheritance rights or establish their legitimacy.

3. Intestate Succession:
- Intestate succession refers to the distribution of a deceased person's estate when they have not left a valid will.
- In the case of a posthumous child, they may have a claim to a share of the father's estate, even if the father did not leave a will.
- The laws of intestate succession vary across jurisdictions, and the child's entitlement may depend on factors such as applicable inheritance laws, the child's relationship to the deceased father, and the existence of other legal heirs.

Conclusion:
A child born after the father's death is referred to as a posthumous child. This term is used to describe the legal status of a child who is conceived before the father's death but born after it. The child may have inheritance rights, legitimacy, and other legal implications, depending on the specific laws and regulations of the jurisdiction in question.

  • a)
    0%
  • b)
    0.25%
  • c)
    2.5%
  • d)
    25%
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Prakhya Shrivastava answered
Let 100 be the wages of man if it decreases by 50%, his wages become 100-(50%of 100) = 100-50 =50 Now his wages is 50 when it is increases by 50% then angain his salery become 50+(50%of50) = 50+25 = 75 He has loss of 100-75 = 25 In % = (25×100)/100 = 25% Thus he has loss of 25%. Hence option (d) is correct.

x increased by 37 1/2% ( of x) gives 33, or
x + (37 1/2 % * x) = 33
x + (37.5%x) = 33
1x + (.375x) = 33
1.375x = 33
Divide both sides by 1.375
x = 24

  • The judgment relates to a case in which a US-based doctor had opined against the operation of a cancer patient through video conferencing. Ignoring the advice, two Indian doctors operated on the lady, who later passed away.
  • The patient's family went to court against the doctors. However, the US-based doctor, Ernest Greenberg, refused to come to India, but expressed willingness to give evidence through video conferencing.
  • But the Bombay high court did not allow the trial court to go ahead citing Section 273, which lays down the procedure for recording evidence.
  • The husband of the deceased, P C Singhi and the Maharashtra government had appealed against the high court order in the Supreme Court.
  • The prosecution has alleged that the two Indian doctors -- Praful B Desai and A K Mukherjee -- did not take good care of the patient after the operation as a result of which she suffered a lot before her death.
  • Speaking for the bench, Justice Variava said, "In cases where the attendance of a witness cannot be procured without an amount of delay, expense or inconvenience, the court could consider issuing a commission to record evidence by way of video conferencing."

Can you explain the answer of this question below:
Indian Parliament is based on the principle of
  • A:
    Bicameralism
  • B:
    Universal Adult Franchise
  • C:
    Dyarchy
  • D:
    Federalism
The answer is a.

Sushant Datta answered
Indian Parliament is based on the principle of Bicameralism. This means that the Parliament of India consists of two houses - the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and the Lok Sabha (House of the People).

The Rajya Sabha is the upper house of the Indian Parliament and represents the states and union territories of India. It has 245 members, of which 233 are elected by the state legislative assemblies and 12 are nominated by the President of India. The members of the Rajya Sabha have a fixed term of six years, and one-third of its members retire every two years.

The Lok Sabha is the lower house of the Indian Parliament and represents the people of India. It has 545 members, of which 543 are elected by the people of India and two are nominated by the President of India. The members of the Lok Sabha have a term of five years.

Advantages of Bicameralism:

1. Representation: Bicameralism provides for better representation of the diverse interests of the people. The Rajya Sabha represents the states, while the Lok Sabha represents the people.

2. Checks and Balances: Bicameralism provides for a system of checks and balances, as both houses have to agree on a bill before it becomes a law. This ensures that no single house can dominate the legislative process.

3. Expertise: Bicameralism allows for the participation of experts and specialists in the legislative process. The Rajya Sabha, in particular, has members who are experts in various fields.

4. Stability: Bicameralism provides for stability, as the Rajya Sabha has a fixed term and one-third of its members retire every two years. This ensures that there is continuity and experience in the legislative process.

In conclusion, the principle of Bicameralism is an important feature of the Indian Parliament, as it provides for better representation, checks and balances, expertise, and stability in the legislative process.

The right of a party to initiate an action and be heard before a Court of law is called

  • A:

    Right in rem

  • B:

    Right in personam

  • C:

    Fundamental right

  • D:

    Locus standi

The answer is d.

Bijoy Pillai answered
In law, locus standi means the right to bring an action, to be heard in court, or to address the Court on a matter before it. Locus standi is the ability of a party to demonstrate to the court sufficient connection to and harm from the law or action challenged to support that party’s participation in the case. For example, in the United States, a person cannot bring a suit challenging the constitutionality of a law unless the plaintiff can demonstrate that the plaintiff is (or will be) harmed by the law. Otherwise, the court will rule that the plaintiff “lacks standing” to bring the suit, and will dismiss the case without considering the merits of the claim of unconstitutionality. In order to sue to have a court declare a law unconstitutional, there must be a valid reason for whoever is suing to be there. The party suing must have something to lose in order to sue unless they have automatic standing by action of law.

A party to the suit is called
  • a)
    Accused

Lets take the orignal price as 100. Then on decreasing the price by 30% we get= 70. Now the sale is increased by 20%=84 (20% of 70 or 20/100*70= 14 now 70+14=84) So we can say that Cp=100 and Sp=84 Thats loss as cp is bigger. Loss=16 Loss%=16/100*100 =16%

According to Osborn's Concise Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., a 'Power-of-Attorney' means a formal instrument by which one person empowers another to represent him, or act in his stead, for certain purposes, usually in the form of a deed poll, and attested by two witnesses. The donor of the power is called the principal or constituent; the donee is called the attorney. The latter is not entitled to exercise his powers for his own benefit, e.g., draw cheques on the former's account to pay his own debts. 2. Execution under power-of-attorney.--The donee of a power-of-attorney may, if he thinks fit, execute or do any q***1 instrument or thing in and with his own name and signature, and his own seal, where sealing is required, by the authority of the donor of the power; and every 'gni instrument and thing so executed and done, shall be as effectual in law as if it had been executed or done by the donee of the power in the name, and with the signature and seal, of the donor thereof. This section applies to powers-of-attorney created by instruments executed either before or after this Act comes into force.
