Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 191(1) covers force or violence used by an unlawful assembly or a member in pursuit of the common object. Section 194(1) covers fighting by two or more persons in public that disturbs public peace.

Section 45 addresses abetment of a thing. Section 62 supplies the residual punishment for attempts to commit or cause to be committed imprisonable offences where the Sanhita makes no express provision for the attempt.

Option feedback

Option A

This swaps rioting with affray and swaps abetment with residual attempt.

Option B

Only residual attempt is correctly matched to section 62. Rioting, affray and abetment belong to sections 191(1), 194(1) and 45, respectively.

Option C

All four pairs are correct. Sections 191(1), 194(1), 45 and 62 cover rioting, affray, abetment and residual attempt in that order.

Option D

Rioting and affray are correctly matched. Section 45 covers abetment, and section 62 is the residual attempt provision.
