22. Question 10
As a part of your or job or business, you must have come across this
clause in the Terms and Conditions of a contract. But you must have
hardly seen it getting invoked.
However, in the current lockdown scenario, it’s getting invoked left, right
and centre as organizations find themselves incapable of fulfilling the
requirements of the contract.
By now, it has already been invoked by global behemoths like DHL as well
as Indian PSUs like Indian Oil and Indian Railways.
The term finds it origin in Roman Law wherein it was stated that the
principle of sanctity of contract can be tempered by a competing
principle ‘clausula rebus sic stantibus’, which means obligations under a
contract are binding only as long as matters remain the same as they
were at the time of entering into the contract. Identify the two word
term of French origin.

23. Force Majeure

24. Question 11
Lieutenant Baugh was the Adjutant of the 34th Bengal Native Infantry stationed
at Barrackpore. It was reported to Lieutenant Baugh that X was pacing in front of
the regiment's guard room by the parade ground, armed with a loaded musket,
threatening to shoot the first European that he set eyes on.
Baugh immediately armed himself and galloped on his horse to the lines. X took
position behind the station gun, which was in front of the quarter-guard of the
34th, took aim at Baugh and fired.
He missed Baugh, but the bullet struck his horse in the flank bringing both the
horse and its rider down. Baugh quickly disentangled himself and, seizing one of
his pistols, advanced towards X and fired.
He missed. Before Baugh could draw his sword, X attacked him with a sword,
slashed him on the shoulder and neck, bringing him to the ground.

32. Question 15
Airbus has been running a project called fello’fly: a flight demonstrator
project inspired by nature.
As part of the trials for this project, Airbus plans to fly successive planes
originating from a common region in a V shape formation in which the
leader takes the pole position and the others spread out laterally behind it.
When the energetic core of the wake drags surrounding air, it creates
smooth currents known as “upwash,” or air that moves upwards.
This upwash generated by the leader enables the trailing flights benefit
immediately from free lift, while expending a lot less energy. For
commercial aircraft, this flight technique is also called wake-energy
retrieval and represents a significant opportunity to help airlines reduce
fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Which species are they trying to
mimic here?

33. Geese
