There is a roughly normal incidence of intelligence and stupidity, good taste and bad taste, morality, immorality. But very few people are dukes and duchesses, although the later have become rather more frequent with modern easing of divorce laws. As a result, even though they may be intrinsically unexpectional they are regarded with some awe. So it has long have been with the rich. Were dukes numerous their position would deteriorate.

Keeping in view the expanding horizon of the principle of natural justice which govern exercise of power by administrative authorities. The rules of natural justice are not embodied rules. The extent of their application depends upon the particularly statutory framework where under jurisdication has been conferred on the administrative authority. with regard to the exercise of particular power by an administrative authority including exercise of judicial or quasi-judicial functions the legislature, while conferring the said power, may feel that it would not be in the larger public interest that the reasons for the order passed by the administrative authority be recorded in the order and be communicated to the aggrieved party and it may dispense with such a requirement. 44"The rules of the natural justice are not embodies rules" means that these rules A.are left deliberately vague B.cannot be satisfactorily interpreted C.are flexible D.cannot be visualized 45.

Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 100 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack. Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (for some i between 0 and 100). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2- move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coin is the third coin from the top. Then O In order to win, Alice's first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move. O In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move. O In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 0-move.

Lemon can be added with any material. (Actually they had also mentioned how much amount of one can be added with how much quantity of the other; but thats not needed for the question.) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume except: 1) Balsamic and Lilac 2) Woody and Lemon 3) MI mosaic and Woody 4) MI mosaic and Lilac Solution:-first is acceptable for perfume since balsamic and liliac are given to be present and second is also acceptable as lemon can be added with any of four ,third is also acceptable as given in question...left fourth is not acceptable as MI mosaic is always with woody...and balsamic is always with liliac ..therefore combination of MI mosaic and liliac cant occur because woody and balsamic are never together Q14: Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game.
