PU LLB Legal Reasoning 2026 — 50 Practice Questions with Detailed Solutions

The 5 Question Types You Will See in 2026

• Principle-Fact (most common) — apply given legal principle to a fact pattern
• Assertion-Reason — judge legal accuracy of two linked statements
• Legal Maxims — meaning + application (ignorantia juris non excusat, etc.)
• Constitutional / Fundamental Rights — Articles 14, 19, 21 application
• Tort & Contract Basics — negligence, free consent, void agreements

The 4-Step Principle-Fact Framework

• Step 1 — Read the principle TWICE before the facts; never reverse this order
• Step 2 — Identify the key triggering condition in the principle
• Step 3 — Map facts onto the trigger — does the condition apply?
• Step 4 — Eliminate options that introduce new facts or assumptions

Sample Question 1 — Negligence

<strong>Principle:</strong> 'A person is liable for negligence when they fail to take reasonable care that a reasonable person would have taken in the same circumstances, causing damage to another.' <strong>Facts:</strong> A drives carefully but B suddenly runs across the road and is hit. <strong>Answer:</strong> A is NOT liable — duty of care was discharged, the damage was caused by B's own act. Key trigger: 'failure to take reasonable care' was not satisfied.

Sample Question 2 — Free Consent

<strong>Principle:</strong> 'Consent obtained by coercion, undue influence, fraud or misrepresentation is not free consent and makes the contract voidable.' <strong>Facts:</strong> A signs a property sale deed after B threatens to harm A's family. <strong>Answer:</strong> The contract is voidable at A's option — coercion vitiates consent.
