Read the passage: 'Libraries were once judged by the number of books on their shelves. Today the best libraries measure themselves by how easily a reader can find, borrow and understand what they need. The building matters less than the guidance offered inside it.' What is the main idea of the passage?

• A.Old libraries had more books than modern ones
• B.The value of a library now lies in access and guidance, not shelf count
• C.Library buildings should be made smaller
• D.Readers no longer borrow physical books

Solution: The passage contrasts the old measure (number of books) with the modern one (ease of finding and understanding), so its central point is that access and guidance now define a good library.

Which part of the Indian Constitution contains the Fundamental Rights?

• A.Part III
• B.Part IV
• C.Part II
• D.Part V

Solution: Fundamental Rights are enshrined in Part III (Articles 12 to 35) of the Constitution of India.

Principle: An agreement made without consideration (something given in return) is void, except where it is a written and registered promise made on account of natural love and affection between parties standing in a near relation to each other. Facts: Ravi, out of affection for his younger brother, orally promises to give him 50,000 rupees. Nothing is written or registered, and the brother gives nothing in return. Ravi later refuses to pay. Which of the following is correct?

• A.The promise is enforceable because they are brothers
• B.The promise is not enforceable because it lacks consideration and is not written and registered
• C.The promise is enforceable because it was made out of affection
• D.The brother can sue for double the amount

Solution: The exception requires the promise to be in writing and registered. Ravi's promise was only oral, so it lacks consideration and does not fall within the exception, making it unenforceable.

Statement: 'We should hold the annual conference online this year, because it will save the organisation a great deal of money.' Which of the following is an assumption on which this argument depends?

• A.Online conferences are more enjoyable than in-person ones
• B.Holding the conference online costs less than holding it in person
• C.Everyone owns a computer
• D.The conference was cancelled last year

Solution: The argument's conclusion (go online to save money) depends on the unstated assumption that an online conference actually costs less than an in-person one; otherwise the money-saving claim collapses.
