    . Not a grievous iniury

    • . Multiple scars of face

    • . Fracture of femur

    • . Emasculation

    • . Contusion of breast

    Correct Answer
    A. . Multiple scars of face
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Multiple scars of face." This answer is chosen because the other options listed are more severe injuries such as a fracture of the femur, emasculation, and contusion of the breast. While multiple scars on the face can still be significant, they are not considered a grievous injury compared to the other options.

    . Inquest of Dowry death is done by

    • . Police

    • . Magistrate

    • . Coroner

    • . Medical examiner

    Correct Answer
    A. . Police
    Explanation
    In cases of dowry death, the investigation is primarily conducted by the police. They are responsible for gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and building a case against the accused. The police have the authority to arrest and charge individuals involved in the crime. While other officials such as magistrates, coroners, and medical examiners may be involved in the legal process, the initial inquest and investigation is typically led by the police.

    Rupture of the skin and subcutaneous tissue is called

    • . Incised wound

    • . Abrasions

    • . Lacerated wound

    • . Contusion

    Correct Answer
    A. . Incised wound
    Explanation
    An incised wound refers to a type of injury where the skin and subcutaneous tissue are cut or sliced open. This can occur due to a sharp object such as a knife or a glass shard. The edges of the wound are typically clean and well-defined, indicating a deliberate and precise injury. Incised wounds often bleed profusely and may require medical attention to clean, stitch, and prevent infection.

    . First permanent teeth to erupt is

    • . First premolar

    • . Second premolar

    • . First molar

    • . Second molar

    Correct Answer
    A. . First premolar
    Explanation
    The first permanent teeth to erupt are the first premolars. These teeth typically come in around the age of 10 to 12 years old, replacing the primary molars. The eruption of the first premolars marks an important milestone in dental development, as it signifies the transition from the primary dentition to the permanent dentition.

    . Test used to detect blood group of blood stain

    • Benzidine test

    • Takayama test

    • Luminol test

    • Absorption elution test

    Correct Answer
    A. Benzidine test
    Explanation
    The Benzidine test is used to detect the blood group of a blood stain. It involves adding a reagent called benzidine to the stain, which reacts with the hemoglobin in the blood. This reaction produces a blue-green color, indicating the presence of blood. The test is based on the fact that different blood groups have different antigens on the surface of red blood cells, and these antigens can be detected through the reaction with benzidine. Therefore, the Benzidine test is a reliable method for determining the blood group of a blood stain.

    True about hydrocution are all except

    • . Electrocution in water

    • Death results from cardiac arrest

    • Results from falling in the water with feet first

    • . Emotionally tense individuals are prone for this

    Correct Answer
    A. . Electrocution in water
    Explanation
    Hydrocution refers to the sudden immersion in cold water causing a physiological response that can lead to cardiac arrest and potentially death. Electrocution in water, on the other hand, refers to the fatal injury caused by electric shock in water. It is not related to hydrocution. Therefore, the statement "Electrocution in water" is not true about hydrocution.

    . Lesion with intact skin but tearing of subcutaneous tissue is

    • . Scalds

    • . Laceration

    • . Contusion

    • . Abrasion

    Correct Answer
    A. . Scalds
    Explanation
    A scald is an injury caused by hot liquids or steam coming into contact with the skin. In this case, the lesion has intact skin, indicating that there is no break in the outer layer of the skin. However, there is tearing of the subcutaneous tissue, which is the layer of tissue beneath the skin. This tearing suggests that the injury is deeper than just the superficial layers of the skin, which is consistent with a scald.

    • . 0

    • . 5

    • . 10

    • . 20

    Correct Answer
    A. . 0
    Explanation
    By the age of 14, all of the deciduous (baby) teeth have typically been replaced by permanent teeth. Therefore, a 14-year-old child should not have any deciduous teeth remaining.

    LAW AND FORENSIC MEDICINE 5. Police inquest is required in all except:

    • . Sucide

    • . Accidental death

    • . Dowry death

    • . Murder

    Correct Answer
    A. . Sucide
    Explanation
    Police inquests are not required in cases of suicide, as suicide is considered a self-inflicted act and does not involve any criminal investigation. In cases of accidental death, dowry death, and murder, a police inquest is necessary to determine the cause and circumstances of the death and to gather evidence for potential criminal charges.

    . A child can not be considered responsible for a crime before the age of 

    • . 5 years

    • . 7 years

    • . 10 years

    • . 12 years

    Correct Answer
    A. . 5 years
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 5 years because it is generally accepted that children below the age of 5 do not have the cognitive and moral development to understand the consequences of their actions or to form criminal intent. This is supported by various psychological and legal frameworks that consider a certain level of maturity and understanding as necessary for criminal responsibility. Therefore, it is commonly agreed upon that children cannot be held responsible for crimes committed before the age of 5.

    . In India, for exhumation maximum permissible time period is

    • 5 years

    • 10 years

    • . 20 years

    • . No limit

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 years
    Explanation
    In India, the maximum permissible time period for exhumation is 5 years. This means that after a person is buried, their remains can only be exhumed within a period of 5 years. After this time period, exhumation is not allowed unless there are exceptional circumstances or legal requirements. This time limit ensures that the deceased's remains are given adequate time for decomposition and allows for proper burial practices to be followed.

    Inquest for custodial death is held by

    • Doctor

    • . Magistrate

    • Sub-inspector

    • District attorney

    Correct Answer
    A. Doctor
    Explanation
    Inquests for custodial deaths are typically held by doctors. This is because doctors are responsible for determining the cause of death and conducting post-mortem examinations. They have the necessary medical knowledge and expertise to examine the body and collect evidence that can help establish the cause and circumstances of the death. Magistrates, sub-inspectors, and district attorneys may be involved in the investigation and legal proceedings related to the custodial death, but the actual inquest is conducted by a doctor.

    MEDICOLEGAL ASPECT OF DEATH 10. Most informative test in parental identification

    • . HLA

    • Parental likeness

    • Developmental defects

    • . DNA finger printing

    Correct Answer
    A. . HLA
    Explanation
    HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) testing is the most informative test in parental identification. HLA genes are inherited from parents, and by comparing the HLA profiles of a child and their alleged parents, it is possible to determine if there is a biological relationship. This test is particularly useful in cases where DNA testing is not possible or inconclusive. HLA testing can provide strong evidence of parental likeness and help establish or confirm biological parentage.

    . Brain death is said to occur if there is

    • . Absent spinal reflexes

    • Cortical death following widespread brain injury

    • . Absence of brainstem reflexes

    • Core temperature of the body is below 35 degree C

    Correct Answer
    A. . Absent spinal reflexes
    Explanation
    Brain death is said to occur if there are absent spinal reflexes. Spinal reflexes are involuntary movements that are controlled by the spinal cord without any input from the brain. When these reflexes are absent, it indicates that the brain is no longer functioning, leading to brain death.

    Regarding medical termination of pregnancy, all of the following are true except:   

    • Professional secrecy has to be maintained

    • Woman has the right to abort his fetus without consent of husband

    • . In an emergency, termination of pregnancy can be done by a single doctor

    • . Termination of pregnancy up to 20 Weeks can be done by medical practitioner without consulting specialist

    Correct Answer
    A. Professional secrecy has to be maintained
    Explanation
    In the context of medical termination of pregnancy, all of the given statements are true except for the statement that professional secrecy has to be maintained. In medical practice, professional secrecy refers to the obligation of healthcare providers to keep patient information confidential. However, in the case of medical termination of pregnancy, healthcare providers may be required to disclose certain information to ensure the safety and well-being of the patient. This may include sharing information with other healthcare professionals involved in the procedure or reporting cases of termination to relevant authorities. Therefore, professional secrecy is not always maintained in the context of medical termination of pregnancy.

    . DNA can be taken as sample from all of the following except

    • Hair roots

    • . Semen

    • . CSF

    • Buccal mucosa

    Correct Answer
    A. Hair roots
    Explanation
    DNA can be extracted from various sources for forensic analysis, such as semen, CSF (cerebrospinal fluid), and buccal mucosa (inner lining of the cheek). However, hair roots do not contain enough viable DNA for reliable testing. While DNA can be found in the hair shaft, it is typically degraded and not suitable for accurate analysis. Therefore, hair roots are not a viable sample for DNA extraction.

    Post mortem stiffening is called:                                                                             

    • . Putrefaction

    • . Rigor mortis

    • . Livor mortis

    • . Mummificafion

    Correct Answer
    A. . Putrefaction
  • 19. 

    After death, Livor mortis is caused because of: 

    • . Muscle of the body began to relax

    • Muscle of the body began to stiffen

    • Discolouration as a result of capillo-venous distension in the dependent parts of the body

    • . Putrefaction of the body tissues

    Correct Answer
    A. . Muscle of the body began to relax
    Explanation
    After death, Livor mortis is caused because the muscles of the body begin to relax. Livor mortis, also known as lividity, is the pooling of blood in the dependent parts of the body due to gravity. As the muscles relax, blood is no longer being pumped through the body, causing it to settle in the lower areas. This results in a discoloration of the skin in those areas, giving a purplish appearance.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Rigor mortis occurs due to

    • . Muscle of the body began to relax

    • Capillo-venous distension in the most dependent body parts

    • . Muscle of the body began to stiffen

    • Muscle of the body began to stiffen

    Correct Answer
    A. . Muscle of the body began to relax
    Explanation
    Rigor mortis occurs due to the stiffening of muscles in the body after death. This happens because ATP, the molecule responsible for muscle contraction, is no longer being produced. Without ATP, the muscles are unable to relax and remain in a contracted state, causing stiffness.
