Directions for Questions 24 to 40: The questions are based on the information presented in the
passage given below:
In many situations direct experimentation is possible. For example, at home you may rearrange your
bedroom furniture by directly experimenting with different layouts. You will move the furniture using
every possible layout and observe each layout and then move the furniture to the arrangement judged
the best, completing the experiment.
A similar experiment could in theory be applied to the effects of a rearrangement of machinery in a

factory. Such a procedure would, however, be costly, time-consuming, and disruptive. Hence,
simulation, or indirect experimentation, is employed, using a model to represent the factory and
templates to represent the items of machinery to be moved. Again, direct experimentation in aircraft
design would involve constructing a full-scale prototype, which could be flight-tested under real
conditions. Although this is an essential step at a particular phase in the evolution of a new design, it
would be very costly as a first step. The usual procedure is to evaluate several proposed configurations
by building a model of each and then testing in a wind tunnel. Again this is a process of simulation.
A succinct definition of simulation is that ‘Models represent reality; simulation imitates it’. Simulation
indeed involves the manipulation of a model so that, in effect, it yields a motion picture of reality.
Logical models are used in an attempt to copy the dynamics of a real-life situation. A standard
technique for simulation is the system commonly referred to as the Monte Carlo technique, linked to
the gambling casinos rather than the car rally.
Monte Carlo simulation performs risk analysis by building models of possible results by substituting a
range of values- a probability distribution-for any factor that has inherent uncertainty. It then calculates
results over and over, each time using a different set of random values from the probability functions.
Depending upon the number of uncertainties and the ranges specified for them, a Monte Carlo
simulation could involve thousands or tens of thousands of recalculations before it is complete. Monte
Carlo simulation produces distributions of possible outcome values- probability of each occurrence.

Section – IV: Legal Reasoning

111. Principle: Whoever, intending to take dishonestly any moveable property out of the possession
of any person without that person’s consent, moves that property in order to such taking, is said
to commit theft.
Facts: Hari Prasad was going on a pilgrimage when a sudden stampede caused death of at least a
dozen pilgrims. Amidst the chaos, Hari noticed that one of his fellow travelers, Gangaram who
sat beside him on the bus while they were coming, was lying on the floor. Hari wanted to help
him so he checked his pulse and found that he was already dead. He secretly removed the
Golden Chain and rings from Gangaram’s body, intending to sell it later as it was of no use for a
dead body. When he tried to sell the Ornaments, it was discovered that it was not made of gold
and not worth any money so Hari threw the same in frustration. Has Hari Prasad Committed
Theft?
A. Yes because he dishonestly took the movable property
B. No because he initially wanted to help Gangaram thus there was no dishonest intention
C. No
D. Yes, because he took it out of Gangaram’s possession.
112. In the above principle consider the following fact situation

Lalit was going out of the country for sometime so he entrusted some valuable items with his

the items to Shushil and used the money for buying a property. When Lalit returned and

customers as quickly as possible, the company relies on a vast network of warehouses the size of
aircraft carriers where the company stores its products and processes orders. Amazon operates more
than 75 “fulfilment centres” and 35 sorting centres in America, manned by 125,000 full-time workers.
CP/18/C19
To keep costs in check, Amazon must not only maintain dozens of warehouses, but run them efficiently.
Whereas traditional shop workers might remain idle for hours at a time, Amazon’s workers—the
“stowers” that stock inventory, the “pickers” that pluck items from shelves and the “packers” that box
them up for shipment—are constantly moving. Pickers are equipped with hand-held devices that show
them what each item looks like, where it may be found, and how to get there as quickly as possible. As
they navigate row after row of shelves, timers count down the seconds needed to retrieve each item. To
meet performance targets, pickers must collect as many as 1,000 items and walk up to 15 miles in a
single shift.
