details Legal Reasoning: The Legal Reasoning section of Mock 18 was of a reasonably easy level. Legal Knowledge: The legal Knowledge portion was of a moderate level.

The section was constituted of questions from Criminal Law, Law of Torts, Law of Contracts, Constitutional Law, International Law, Intellectual Property Law, General Principles of Law and Important Statutes.
Question analysis Questions 78 and 79:The questions were based on the Principle of State mentioned under Article 12 of the Constitutional law. The principle was followed by a long set of facts. When we read through the facts we can see that there is a good degree of control by the government but not enough to term it ‘State’ as per the principle given. W.r.t. Question 78, NCERT cannot come under the ambit of State because its activities are not totally dependent on government functions and the control was limited to funding and issuing of directions on policy and programmes. Hence, (a) is the correct answer. W.r.t. Question 79, if we change the facts to the situation that NCERT was formed under a statute then also it will not be ‘State’ because the Principle says that financial, functional and administrative control is required for a body to become ‘State’. Hence, (b) is correct.
Question analysis Questions 89: This question was the lengthiest question in the reasoning part and dealt with the concept of Bailment. The first principle states the concept of bailment and defines the ‘bailor’ and ‘bailee’. The second principle states the liability of the parties in case a contract of bailment is made. As per the facts, the store owner is not responsible for the missing broach as she was not the one who found it. It was Anamika’s assistant, Madhur, who found the brooch and placed it in his drawer, entering into bailment. Hence, (c) is the correct answer option.
