RTI Act is a part of? CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT
Legal GK.
hey rti is a fundamental right. just for the clarification
I think it is an statutory right!
its a statutory right
RTI is taken as an extention to art 19(1)(a) so y can’t b it regarded as fundamental right?
M.P singh’s Constitution of india regard its as fundamental rights and various time SC has taken it as fundamental rights
This right, to information , was explicitly held to be a fundamental right under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of for the first time by Justice KK Mathew in State of UP v. Raj Narain, (1975) 4 SCC 428. This view was followed by the Supreme Court on a number of decisions and after public demand, the Right to Information Act, 2005 was enacted and brought into force.
The cases that talk of RTI being a fundamental right are only obiter. It is a legal/statutory right.
RTI stands for Right To Information and has been given the status of a fundamental right under Article 19(1) of the Constitution. Article 19 (1) under which every citizen has freedom of speech and expression and have the right to know how the government works, what role does it play, what are its functions and so on.
This is according to:
http://rti.india.gov.in/
Authoritative source, no?
hey guys,,,,,RTI is not a fundamental right although it a mentioned in part of right to freedom of 19(1)a,,,bcoz through this act someones’s privacy is also reveals so it is only a statutory right and yes RTE is a fundamental right.
The famous queen Chand Bibi who fought gallantly against Akbar belonged to –
1) Berar 2) Ahmednagar 3)Bijapur 4) Golconda
not sure what the answer is.
she was born in ahmednagar but got married to adil shah of bijapur..confused abt the answer.
“Chand Bibi (1550–1599 CE), also known as Chand Khatun or Chand Sultana, was an Indian Muslim woman warrior. She acted as the Regent of Bijapur (1580–90) and Regent of Ahmednagar (1596–99).” I quote wiki.
But her fight against Akbar was while she was the acting regent of the Ahmednagar sultanate, so Ahmednagar is the right answer.
“Before the Mughal occupation, Berar was part of the Nizam Shahi sultanate of Ahmadnagar. It was ceded to the emperor Akbar by Chand Bibi in 1596, unable to stand against the imperial forces led by prince Murad.”
from wikipedia

Before i even reach my house from my test center you guys already list out the questions! 😀 Anyway, I remember a question being asked on why we hear a clicking sound in our ear whenever we yawn or something. And then there was a question as to why sprout beans are better than cooked beans or something like that :/. Also, there was a question on which chamber the blood enters first to flow through the heart . I vaguely remember these so please correct me if I’m wrong!
Q.the great divide refer to? , Q. zero hour is of how many hours =1 hour

lsat india also took place yesterday
Chand Bibi defended Ahemednagar
also there was 2-3 question about money bill

Desert Plants was sunken stomata. Not taproot as far as i remember.
deser plants ie xerophytes have sunken stomata
yes they both were part of same q?
no they were 2 diff. questions. one was about shrunken stomata and the other one was abt the type of roots
no they were 2 diff. ques. one was abt the srunken stomata and the other one was abt the type of roots
no they were 2 diff questions..one was abt the type of roots and one was about srunken stomata
what happens to the level of mercury when it’s poured in a barometer is taken to a coal mine? rises/falls/remains unchanged/none of the above
rises
as the density of air rises as we go below sea level
yess
one of the options was “rises n then falls”….plz clarify the answer someone.
12. Desert plants have what kind of roots? Taproot
^That one wasn’t about the roots, it was about which of these would you see in a desert plant. One of the answers was aerenchyma, I don’t remember the rest.
Also, something on how the following happened in which order:
1)Rupee floated on the current account.
2)Rupee floated on the trade account.
3) Exim scripps introduced.
4) Something which I don’t remember.
this was a crazzy question :/
I found the whole gk section crazy..How could they give such a paper:(
4)rupee devalued
only science are we gonna become scientists or lawyers
the paper was bull shit
And RTI is probably a stautory right. Not a constitutional one since it isnt given in the constitution.
Also, weren’t the Rowlatt protests after Champaran? So didn’t Gandhi technically enter politics with Champaran? Because that was an option for that question, too.
Yes,that is my doubt too.Gandhi entered politics with Champaran
And there was an option related to south africa where the ques.was where did gandhiji for the 1st time took satyagrah or some non violent movmt.I dnt remember exactly.I suppose South African struggle was the answer there
Yeah, Champaran is right… The thing which he did for the Indigo sharecroppers. It was in our 10+2 English 😀
okay. dont get confused. there were 2 questions.
1) where did gandhi first use his policy of satyagrah? this has to be south africa
2)which marked the entry of gandhi into all india politics? this has to be rowlatt protest, because champaran was all about farmers’ suffering etc..
nope… search wiki for gandhi’s satyagraha… he used it first in SA
Champaran was the first time in india.. there was a separate question on that
ans to both is champaran check lucent for details
Dude his first experiment with Satyagraha was in South Africa without doubt. Incidentally it has come in The Hindu today! Go check the last page at the bottom.
His political debut, which was the other question, was Champaran. Rowlatt is completely wrong, there was Kheda, Ahmedabad Mill strike, and Bardoli before it!
For the 1st time satyagrah answer has to be south africa according to me.And for the Indian movmt.it has to be Champaran.Rowlatt protests were not when gandhiji launched satyagrah or any non violent movmt.
i have the same doubt, because even according to me it was champaran because thats where it all started from in india, this ignited his protest against the british.
1)country without government ….for the maximum time..Belgium
2)A. syu kyi…released after how many years of house arrest…….
3)’Year of Divide ‘ signifies
which emperor had embassies outside India?
Tippu Sultan
there was question about veto powers of UN asking how many permanent member are there and the answer was written in the question
i m damn sure about it
i don think that the answer was specified in the question itself…the ans is 5 btw
what happens to the level of mercury when it’s poured in a barometer is taken to a coal mine? rises/falls/remains unchanged/rises then falls
c its barometer not thermometr..!
so i guess no change..
Rises. Pressure rises as you go below sea level.
does it matter if its barometer or thermometer? rise and fall of mercury depends upon the temperature, pressure and not the instrument it is kept in.. i am not sure though
it makes a difference… because the level of mercury rises in a barometer due to the pressure exerted on the mercury in the petridish… therefore the level of mercury rises in the test-tube because some mercury enters the test-tube.
oh.. i guess i need to check the defination of barometer 😛 my bad.. not sure about the answer though
RTI is which of the following: Fundamental, Statutory, Constitutional, Legal.
Standing on an elevator, the force exerted by you on the floor: Becomes 0 when you go down at 9.8m/s2, when you go up at 9.8, in any direction at 9.8, or unchanged at any acceleration.
some legal principle questions were ditto to some questions given in ur mock test -I
yup very true.
the great divide its talking about 1921. how is that related to independence of india?
there was one moreof which of the following patato , ginger . sweet patato nd some caro….(never heard of it before)the edible portion is not a stem
sweet potato is root
the ast option for thic one was some caro.. corn
sweet potato
The great divide is the year of population growth nothin else
The Great Divide answer should be all of the above….The options were rise in population in the 20s, reduction of diseases leading to fewer deaths and something else which i don’t remember
c) decline in the sex ratio in 1921
It is a question of economics/history . The answer is when the population increased & the death rate decreased simultaneously.. the first sign of development in
Yes,It’ll be all of the above
no becoz the other two are reasons for the first one but not two mcauses individually
the answer is not there anywhere on the net either
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_1921_called_the_year_of_the_great_divide
It is.
i’m pretty sure the revised forbes list for 2012 says chinese premier wen jiabo is the mst powerful person on earth who pipped mr obama dis year……
i also marked hu jintao
no bro its u knw obamma da grt :->
no barack obama stands as the most powerful man according to forbes
barack obama
its B.Obama
after Bin Laden’s death… they made him the most powerful… hu jinatao has fallen
it is barack obama
It appears that Hu Jintao is 3rd. Barack Obama 1st, and Vladimir Putin 2nd. Check it out.
http://www.forbes.com/powerful-people/
it is definately barack obama.
Its not Obama. the question said, in 2011.
The correct answer is Hu jintao.
Even this question was in a LST mock test.
Q.unlike the core of earth, the core of moon is a)solid b)vicious liquid c)liquid d)vicious gas

yes

The nasa’s team findings suggest the moon possesses a solid, iron-rich inner core
solid 160 km radius (inner core) & fluid 350 km radius (outer core)

tipu sultan
shah alam 2
Tipu sultan.
Gandhi’s first political activity in India was champaran
When a thermometer is taken down a coal mine, the temperature: rises, falls, rises then falls, remains unchanged.

QUESTION:more than 50 sikh shrines are named after ??
OPTIONS :a) plants b) trees c) animals d) flowers !!!
does anyone know the answer to this ‘no head no tail’ question ??
trees
yeah..it’s actually trees..!
Wasn’t satyagraha first practiced by Gandhi in South Africa against the policies of apartheid? Yes, in India it was definitely in Champaran but I don’t think the question mentioned it to be India-specific.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satyagraha
Yes,the ques.didn’t ask anything primarily about india.even I have marked south africa n that is what i assume to be correct
the answer for outside india is south africa and within india is champaran. for sure!
Which one of the following rulers established embassies in foreign countries on modern lines?
(a) Haider Ali
(b) Mir Qusim
(c) ShahAlam II
(d) Tipu Sultan
haider ali?
Tipu Sultan. Sure.
maximum sikh shrines have been named after which of the following?
a.birds
b.flowers
c.trees
d.none of the above
answer I think was trees
it’s trees…..
I think one of the questions was that the constitution is based on the lines which were first mentioned in?(options were karachi session, jawaharlal nehru’s speech of purna swaraj etc.)
I think its the objectives resolution by the constituent assembly.
the question related to heart was:
which of the following does the blood enter the heart from
left ventricle/right ventricle/left aorta/right aorta
why in the world are we supposed to know this? there are plenty of doctors around. go ask em
ya bro right we weren;t giving cpmt ?
it was not aorta. the qs was
which of the following pumps the blood into the aorta!?
and the options were left and right auricle and left and right ventricle..
answer is left ventrivle,, it is in 10th class science book
left ventricle is correct.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCp4hVC2fnM
there was also a question on why some sailors of some ship protested in some year :/
just incase ^ helps anyone recall what it was:|
Wow. This is too much detail for the question to be answered.
I was just helping “recall” questions.
not expecting you to answer THAT 😛
give me some credit? 🙁
It was ‘Why did the employees of Royal Indian Navy protest?’
The Indian Naval ratings protested in 1945 against the prosecution of the INA soldiers. It was a mutiny.
The answer was because of the INA trial.
and the 12 Q here was something like which of the following i inherent in desert plants
and in that year of great divide question they did not ask the year. options were something like – rapid increase in population growth rate, declining sex ratio, decrease in death rate and all of the above
which lang is declared as a classic lang by central gov? telugu
I think the answer should be Pali.
tamil was given the status of classical language in 2004
The desert plant options were : aeriel roots, aerenchyma, sunken stomata and the fourth one I don’t remember. However, tap root wasn’t an option.
indus valley civilisation’s feautures?? can someone please elaborate on that question?? i dont remember exactly,,there were three points and fourth was all of the above !!!
answer was 1(cotton) and 3(Grid)
about the classical language question, tamil and sanskrit were both options.
but according to this http://www.hindu.com/2005/10/28/stories/2005102809281200.htm
both answers are right :/
its better if two answers are right…because then its a wrong question
Tamil and sanskrit already have classical language status, telugu got it most recently. Telugu is the right ans.
their was no recently mentioned in the question… so kinda the same logic as the Gandhi one.. (the answer changes if first Satyagraha was mentioned.)
Since Tamil and Sanskrit were options also, you should have logically concluded that they’re trying to ask you which one was most recent. Even NLUD can come up with a bit of current affairs once in a while! 😛
And both the Gandhi questions are easily answered. 1.FIRST experiment with satyagraha- South Africa. 2.Political Debut- Champaran. No doubt about both.
why do we hear a clicking sound when we yawn/swallow?
one of the options was: because the Eustachian tube opens.
This is also the answer most probably (googled)
THE ANSWER TO GANDHI FIRST PRACTICED SATYAGRAHA HAS BEEN WRITTEN WRONGLY. THE ANSWER IS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
EVEN THE ANSWER ON SPROUTS IS WRONG.
THE ANSWER IS ENZYMES ARE GENERATED. SEE WIKIPEDIA FOR MORE.
i marked that
even I agree with the enzyme secreted wala answer
Um in the theory of orgin,one option was somebody’s theory on concurrent current,which i dont think relates to the earths origin
4. Who’s the World’s Most Powerful Man according to the Forbes?
I think the answer should be Hu Jintao
http://www.newser.com/story/104576/hu-jintao-unseats-obama-on-forbes-most-powerful-list.html
^ that was 2010
http://www.forbes.com/powerful-people/
This is 2011.
answer for sprout one is “The metabolic activity of resting seeds increases as soon as they are hydrated during soaking. Complex biochemical changes occur during hydration and subsequent sprouting. The reserve chemical constituents, such as protein, starch and lipids, are broken down by enzymes into simple compounds that are used to make new compounds.”
thanx bro mine id right yipeeeeeeeeee
and one more questions clat gyan –
how many pincoades are dere in india i mean how many starting didgits..and the answer in 8
9 acc to wikipedia
it is 9 go to wikipedia for more info
recently added 9th something like army central…..???
The sprout one is not just a myth. The answer is that germination leads to protein synthesis and hence they re richer in protein. option B it was i guess
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouting
This list has an answers wrong:
Escape velocity doesn’t depend on the mass of the object. It depends upon the mass of the PLANET and NOT the object.
That being said, Right to Information is a constitutional right and Gandhi first used Satyagraha in South Africa. He used it in Champaran for the first time IN INDIA. He had done so before in South Africa while demanding rights for Indian who lived there.
There is a huge difference between ‘first time’ and ‘first time in India’
Exactly!
As far as I remember, South Africa wasn’t an option.
yup south africa it is.
Q 28 and 30 are the same. Plus its not vicious liquid , its viscous liquid 😛
LOL! 😀
^the core of the moon is solid. check google images.
Yeah you’re right. Viscous was with reference to the Earth’s core, which was a part of the question.
The question was ‘Analogous to earth’s MOLTEN core, what forms the moon’s core?’
The molten part of the earth’s core is technically the outer core while the inner core of the earth is solid.
So analogically the outer core of the moon is VISCOUS LIQUID while the inner core is solid as well.
Q 12 and 26 are also the same thing. 26 is the right form of what we need here
Hey question no.10 was in legal knowledge. Not gk.
GK only
Tell me if anyone disagrees… it was a messed up GK section
And most of the people who get in will get in on luck because of random marking and that sucks because this is at the expense of real talent.

crappiest paper of my life!
There was one question on Number of PIN zones in India- Answer 9 PIN zones.
Friends, what is the guess. what should be the cut off this year considering there were quite a few wierd questions particularly on science.
Definitely below 100. Last year’s was 102 I guess, that too when the highest was 115.
Such a weird paper. What were they thinking!
the topper should be around 100 i guess, unless the mindless bubbling makes him/her lucky
its was a bad paper
last year was 108 I think
cut off ll be above 100.. thr ll be atleast 50 scorin more than 100..
these are some of the questions tht i remember:
1.free legal aid is DPSP.
2.classical lang:tamil
3.SC AND ST have been specified by presidential orders in consultation with governors.
4.director .of IMF is always from: Europe
5.MP is disqualified if he is absent for 6 months.

did anyone have a problem solving the last question of logical reasoning:|
yup!! it was weird. i did not understand why did they give information about the night duty people when it was of no use??? i could not even form the correct order… just guessd the last parts :/
Yah!!even I left last 3 ques.But,the 1st two were option (a) i guess.
I thought there was some information missing in the question.
the night and day thing made no sense whatsoever.

right to legal aid is a fundamental right? can someone confirm please?
nope its enshrined under Dpsp undre 39 – a if im nt wrong or 39
Yeah you’re right!
“Article 39-A was introduced in the Directive Principles of State Policy by 42nd Amendment of the Constitution. With the object of providing free legal aid.”
Damn it man! I thought it was a fundamental right!
No, Right to free legal aid is to be construed under Article 21. Sorry to say bro, But you’re wrong.
http://www.legalserviceindia.com/article/l261-Legal-Aid.html
Check this out.
Article 21 is the protection of life and personal liberty. It does not enshrine free legal aid.
Ministers cant be arrested 40 day before and after the commencement of the session for civil cases bt can b arrested for criminal cases

1 question related to characteristics of Indus valley civilisation
the lift answer iswrong it remains unchanged
source 11 th class physics book and lucent
I HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT,I HOPE.
remains unchanged is absolutely right. Newton’s third law: ‘To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction’. The question mentioned acceleration which is valid, as force is proportional to acceleration. F=ma. 🙂
What remains unchanged is mass of body.
mass & weight are 2 different concept, taught in basic physics..
P.S. : Please do not defame physics book by giving reference of it for such a wrong answer.
& if the book indeed printed so, then it will be of better use as toilet papers..
The force exerted by the floor on the man as the lift moves down is ZERO….

NLU paper was a disaster….it vwz jus a blooodyy bull shit..fuck off nlu
9 postal zones is the correct answer..
What is the expected cut-off for NLU-D?
Unfortunately, 105.
No matter how tough the paper is, there are always more than 50 students who do score well!
History proves that. inspite of CLAT 2011 being the shittiest paper ever, People did score 173. So, the cut off will never go below 100. It will be 105+
12 postal zones? WTF. it wasnt even an option. the answer is 9
The Anti Ragging Committee question was in legal reasoning, not in GK !
Yep, I remember it being on the second page of the question paper, in legal reasoning/knowledge.

Hey!! I think the two you are missing were the ones on GandhiJi..one was ‘what was Gandhiji’s first non-cooperation movement in india?’ i think the ans was Champaran.
The 2nd was Where did Gandhiji first use satyagraha effectively..south africa?
Maybe i’m just mixing up the gk and legal aptitude qs but anyway…

Champaram movement of 1916 was the first LOCAL movt……answer is ANTI ROWLATT SATYAGRAHA,1919…..
Oh got another wrong one then :/ The ans to which of these is not a stem should be beetroot right? beause colocasia is Arbi, which is a stem too…

In 22, I dont think the question said ‘mass of planet’. I believe it said ‘mass of object and distance from center of mass of the planet’, if I remember correctly.
12th one is some Corn something. Some nonsense like that.
The 17th question was, from which of the following does blood enter the heart. Or that’s what I remember reading.
one question was this also
Q) of which of the following patato , ginger . sweet patato nd some colocasia the edible portion is not a stem?
Exactly. Corn Colo-whatever.
the edible part of sweet potato is its root..for more setails check wikipedia… and i don think corn colocasia was an option the 4th option was beetroot
there was one question related to ship sailors protesting.no one seems to remember it 😛
I think suu kyi was imprisoned for 20 yrs not 15
Another question: Which of the following was a political cause for the 1857 revolt???
“Looses”? Guys, “Looses”? 😉

No , its available to anyone to enforce any rights conferred upon them

For number of postal zones, 12 wasn’t an option :O

I think these will be the average scores in different sections in AILET 2012:
Legal: 20-25
gk: 18-20
maths:9
Logical Reasoning: 25
English: 27
so I think the cut off is gonna be around 100..what do u say guys??
True!
But dont you think a 9 in maths would not be the AVERAGE score? :\
The marks of other sections are very correct!
Btw, the question in legal reasoning related to the ship owner and tge cavemptors empkyed by him. Whats the answer to that? He should be held liable right?
Employed*
no he would not be liable..check nlsiu 1995 legal section..the stevedovers were independent contractors
That was a previous NLS qs i believe, but i’m still not sure abt the ans to that :/
Do people remember some questions of Legal GK as well? Guys, we can contribute and have all the questions of legal aptitude also.
the questions i remember are
– 1 ) years required for recognition as an indian citizen. 2) how are scheduled caste and scheduled tribe determined in india? 3) Right to free legal aid is a fundamental right? 4) RTI is a which right?
5) who recognises thata bill is a money bill or not? 6) whose recommendation is required for a money bill? 6) what is the maximum limit of minutes for a zero hour 7) who creates the portfolios for all the ministers? 8) anti ragging committee? Thats all i remeber. Please reply and help! Thank you. !
1- 5 years
2-by president (executive power)
3-no
4-lok shabha
5-lok shabha speaker decision will bi final
6-not define
7-prime minister
8-raghvan committee
I think rti and right to free legal aid are both fundamental rights as they are inferred from artice 19 and 21 respectively.
And also, a money bill requires consent of the president. 100% sure.
Q.32. In how many postal index zones is India divided into? (12 is not correct)
It is 9 actually.
There are nine PIN zones in India, including eight regional zones and one functional zone.
I remember one question : When there is national emergency the state government can ?
interfere in concurrent list .
is suspended .
dont remember other two options ! 😐
I think the answer to this is that state governments rights get suspended.
dont tell me there were no questions from sports section.
I think few SETS had different gk questions.
I very well remember there was a question in my gk section” Who was Wisdens leading cricketer for 2010 or 2011 i guess ?
But it is not mentioned in the above list of 35 questions =/
right to constitutional remedies is available for citizens only, right?
hey guys what is the synonym of lynch??
to hang or to kill someone?? both the options were there in the paper :/
The Universal Dictionary(from Readers Digest),a very reliable authentic 1752 pages compendium says : LYNCH — To kill a person(suspected of crime) especially by hanging,without due process of law.
but both these options were there :/ i marked A ie to hang someone
hi….the core of the moon is solid…..cz its cooler than the surface 🙂
28. If the core of the Earth is molten, the core of the moon is? Viscous
The Answer probably SOLID
