Law QUESTION #9503

Question 803

A obtains a decree against B. B satisfies the decree in full by paying the decretal amount to A. A does not inform the Court and subsequently applies for fresh execution. B seeks to raise the plea of satisfaction. A argues B should have deposited the amount in Court. What is the correct position?

B can raise the plea of full satisfaction of the decree in the execution proceedings under Section 47 CPC; the executing Court must investigate and, if satisfied, refuse execution✔️
A is correct; only Court-deposited payments constitute valid satisfaction
B's plea cannot be raised in execution; payment must always be made in Court
B must file a separate suit to prove payment

Correct Answer Logic:

Section 47 CPC vests jurisdiction in the executing Court to determine all questions of execution, discharge, or satisfaction. Payment made directly to the decree-holder and accepted by him constitutes valid satisfaction. B can raise this in execution proceedings and the Court must adjudicate it.

Question 805

The octahedral shear stress theory (von Mises criterion) for yielding states that yielding begins when:

\(\sigma_{vm} = \sqrt{\sigma_1^2 + \sigma_2^2 + \sigma_3^2} \geq S_y\)
\(\sigma_{vm} = \sigma_1 - \sigma_3 \geq S_y\)
\(\sigma_{vm} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sqrt{(\sigma_1-\sigma_2)^2+(\sigma_2-\sigma_3)^2+(\sigma_3-\sigma_1)^2} \geq S_y\)✔️
\(\sigma_{vm} = \frac{\sigma_1+\sigma_2+\sigma_3}{3} \geq S_y\)

Correct Answer Logic:

The von Mises (distortion energy) criterion: \(\sigma_{vm}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sqrt{(\sigma_1-\sigma_2)^2+(\sigma_2-\sigma_3)^2+(\sigma_3-\sigma_1)^2}\geq S_y\).

Administration QUESTION #9606

Question 807

An organization restructures from a tall hierarchy (7 levels) to a flat structure (3 levels) and simultaneously widens every manager's span of control from 5 to 15 subordinates. Six months later, managers report overload and junior employees report feeling unsupervised. Which organizational design principle was violated, and what contingency factors should have been assessed before restructuring?

The principle of unity of command — multiple reporting relationships have confused authority lines after flattening
The span of control principle — effective span is not uniform but depends on task complexity, subordinate competence, degree of task interdependence, and clarity of plans; widening span without first ensuring these contingency conditions are met creates supervisory overload and performance gaps✔️
The scalar principle — the reduction in hierarchical levels has broken the chain of authority from top to bottom
The departmentalization principle — flattening without changing departmental groupings produces functional conflicts

Correct Answer Logic:

Span of control theory (Graicunas, Urwick) holds that effective span depends on: task complexity (complex tasks require more supervisory interaction), subordinate training (trained subordinates need less supervision), task interdependence (interdependent tasks require more coordination), and plan clarity (clear procedures reduce supervisory burden). Widening span to 15 without addressing these factors creates the exact failure described. Restructuring must be preceded by contingency assessment, not driven solely by cost-reduction logic.

Quantitative Reasoning QUESTION #8123

Question 812

In her later years, Bertha Pappenheim devoted herself to noble but already (i)_______ notions, always respected for her integrity, her energy, and her resolve but growing increasingly out of step and ultimately (ii)_______ even her own organization.

anachronistic .. alienated from✔️
accepted .. emulated by
exotic .. appreciated by
anachronistic .. emulated by

Correct Answer Logic:

The sentence signals that Pappenheim was out of step with her time — her ideas were dated. Anachronistic (belonging to a past era) fits blank (i) perfectly. For blank (ii), since she was out of step even with her own organization, she must have become alienated from it — estranged or separated. 'Accepted' contradicts 'out of step.' 'Appreciated by' contradicts the negative trajectory described.
