CLAT 2018: Errors

Q5. 2 / 4. Both sentences are incorrect. It should be ‘science FAIR, not fare’. Fare is a verb.
Sentence C is like a jumbled sentence. There is a clear modifier error. So, both 2/4 can be
the answer. Also, except D, no other sentence has a full stop. In that way, A, B, and C are all
incorrect.

Q 99-103: Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the Question.

Ten friends attended a marriage, five of them Venkat, Manohar, Ravi, Prasanth and Tilak
are sitting in a row facing North and other five friends Vidya, Maya, Divya, Keerthi and Anu
are sitting in a row facing south not exactly in the same order. Each friend in a row is facing
exactly one from the other row. One of them is using a Skoda Car. Manohar sits opposite to
his friend who is using a Ford Car and sits at one of the extremes. The friend who uses a
Honda car, is not Ravi who sits second to the right of Manohar. Venkat sits exactly in the
middle of Ravi and the friend who uses a Nissan car is not Manohar. Keerthi does not sit at
the extreme end but uses a Tata car and sits opposite the friend who uses a Fiat Car. The
one who uses a Maruthi car sits opposite to the friend who is to the immediate left of
Keerthi. The friend who uses a Toyota Car but not Anu, sits opposite Prasanth. Tilak does
not sit at any of the extremes, but sits opposite the friend who uses a Chevrolet car,
and is sitting adjacent to Divya and the friend who uses a Mahindra car. Vidya neither
uses Chevrolet nor Toyota cars.

CORRECT FORM FOR RED MARKS:

The one who uses a Maruthi car sits opposite to the friend who is to the IMMEDIATE
RIGHT of Keerthi.
Tilak does not sit at any of the extremes, but sits opposite the friend who uses a
Chevrolet car, WHO IS sitting adjacent to Divya and the friend who uses a Mahindra
car.

SOLUTION:
After making the above corrections, we will get the following arrangement:
 Divya Anu Vidya Keerthi Maya

Ford Chevrolet Mahindra Tata Toyota

Fiat Nissan

Manohar Tilak Ravi Venkat Prasanth

Now after the corrections, we can see that Ravi is the one who has Maruthi car.

99. Who uses the Mahindra Car?

Ans: Vidya

100. Keerthi is how many places away from the one who uses the Ford car?
Ans: three

101. Who sits third to the left of the one who uses the Chevrolet?

102: Which one does not belong to the group?

Options:

2) Skoda
3) Honda
4) Mahindra
Ans: Mahindra

103. Which is the car used by Maya?

Ans: Toyota

According to the information given in the original set, we can’t arrange these ten
friends, as the person sitting immediate left to Keerthi is opposite to the one using
Nissan Car and not Maruthi.
