| List I - Description | List II - Offence/Section |
|---|---|
| A. Death caused by a child of 6 years | I. Exception 4 to Section 101 |
| B. Death committed without premeditation in a sudden fight | II. Right of private defence |
| C. Death of trespasser of the House who was escaping | III. No offence |
| D. Death is caused in safeguarding property from mischief by fire | IV. Exception 2 to Section 101 |
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
A death caused by a child of six years is no offence under section 20 BNS (formerly section 82 IPC), death in a sudden fight without premeditation falls under Exception 4 to section 101 BNS (formerly section 300 IPC), killing an escaping trespasser engages Exception 2 to section 101 (exceeding the right of private defence), and causing death to save property from mischief by fire is within the right of private defence under section 41 BNS (formerly section 103 IPC). Hence the matching is "A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II".
