Q:

Modern public administration has taken a leaf not only from the legislature’s book but also from that of the judiciary. Administrative _____________ is the latest addition to the admin istrative techniques. Administrative ____________ means the determination of questions of a judicial or quasi-judicial nature by an administrative department or agency. Like a regular court, administrative bodies hear the parties, sift evidence, and pronounce a decision in cases where legal rights or duties are involved. The main point of difference between administrative _____________ and administration of justice by the courts is that administrative justice is administered by administrative agencies instead of regular courts. The administrative courts follow the principles of natural justice and common good whereas the courts of law follow the settled principles of law and evidence. The administrative courts are manned by officers belonging to the executive branch whereas the judges are the members of the judiciary independent of executive control.

A) Adjudication B) Division
C) Hearing D) Service
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

The given blank is to be taken in consideration with the word ‘administrative’. ‘Administrative Adjudication’ means a decision or sentence imposed by a judge. ‘Administrative Division’ refers to is a portion of a country or other region delineated for the purpose of administration. ‘Administrative hearing’ refers to an informal way of resolving disputes between agencies and citizens without the

Q:

In the following items, each passage consists of six sentences. The first and the sixth sentence are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labeled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.

S1 :The boy felt his way up the creaking stairs through thick darkness.
S6:He was just telling himself he was safe when the door was flung open and the gaunt old man grabbed his shoulder.
P:All he had to do was just get past the central door on the landing.
Q:He stopped as the great clock below whined for a few seconds and gave out a single, solemn stroke.
R:His eyes were raised to the faint moonlight that shone above the landing.
S:He hesitated as the sound died down and then crept on, thinking that if they could sleep through that, they would sleep through any noise he could make.

The proper sequence should be 

A) P Q S R B) R Q S P
C) P R Q S D) R Q P S
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) R Q P S

Explanation:

The starting statement talked about how the boy managed to climb the stairs despite of thick darkness. So, the continuing statement would be talking about his landing and how his eyes were raised to moonlight. So, the next statement in continuation would be the statement R. This eliminates option (a) and (c). The next statement would be Q. The next statement would be talking about how he managed to pass through the central door and how he was getting afraid with the noise. So P follows Q and S would be the concluding statement. Thus, the correct sequence is RQPS.
