82. A; The facts do not specify that B was doing any additional work for A. The facts only state
that A was dependent on B for his services. In light of these facts option (d) invalid and
since B used his position to extract double salary out of A, therefore the contract is vitiated
by undue influence. Note that the facts do not state that demands of A came as a part of
the initial bargain to employ services of B, in which case (c) could have been considered an
option because no fiduciary relationship yet existed. However, the facts in this case tell us
that A has already employed the services of B and therefore this is a case of undue
influence.

83. B; Facts do not meet the criterion to constitute fraud.

84. C; Principle is self-explanatory

85. A; Principe is self-explanatory

86. A; Article 16 (2) – No person can be discriminated against in the matter of public

Article 29 (2) – No person shall be denied admission into any educational institution

90. D; In the case of Chameli Singh Vs. State of U.P. 1996, the Supreme Court has held that Right

the infrastructure necessary to enable a person to live. According to Supreme Court in the
case of satwant Singh Vs. Union of India, it was held that Right to Travel abroad is a
Fundamental Right. The Right to Equal Pay for Equal work is not expressly mentioned as
Fundamental Right but is the Constitutional goal, which must be achieved by every

Article 39(d), held that the principle of "equal pay for equal work” although not expressly
declared by the constitution to be a fundamental rights, is fundamental right as it flows
from Article 14 and 16 of constitution.

empowerment of children. Thus both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct
explanation of (A).

(2) is wrong while other who statements are correct.

96. B; Article 24(4) of the Constitution of India says that no law providing for preventive

Article 40: Organisation of Village Panchayats.
