🔍 CLAT 2026 | Logical Reasoning (Wrong Questions) | When & How to file Objections

Many students reviewing the Set B (Logical Reasoning) section have flagged issues in Question 37 and Question 41 from the provisional answer key. While preparing our unofficial key at ResultPrep, we also identified these same discrepancies. Surprisingly, several major coaching institutes repeated the same errors, which can mislead students if not corrected.

Here is a complete explanation of why these two questions deserve objections and what the correct answers should be.

❗ QUESTION 37

If Bharat stole the medallion, which of the following must be false?

(A) The medallion was present at 10:30 PM.
(B) The security logs indicating the code was used.
(C) The museum closing time of 10:00 PM.
(D) The time frame of his alibi (8:00 PM to 1:30 AM)

Provisional Answer Key Suggests: D
Correct Answer: B

🧠 Explanation

The passage clearly states:

“system logs show the display case was opened using the code.”

If Bharat committed the theft, then the theft did not happen using the code. This means the statement that the logs show the case was opened using the code must be false in that scenario.

Because of this, B is the only logically valid answer, and this question must be challenged.

❗ QUESTION 41

What condition is necessary for Chitra to have stolen the medallion?

(A) She must know the five-digit code.
(B) She must have left the graphic design studio before 11:45 PM.
(C) The theft must have occurred after she left the studio and before 1:00 AM.
(D) She must have worked with Anjali to disable the locks.

Provisional Answer Key Suggests: C
Correct Answer: A

🧠 Explanation

A necessary condition is something that must be true in every scenario where the event occurs. The passage confirms that the display case was opened using the code. This means no one, including Chitra, could have taken the medallion unless she knew the five-digit code. That makes Option A the only necessary condition.

Why the other options fail :-

• Options B and C fail to be the correct answer because Chitra could not have stolen the medallion without knowing the code.

• Furthermore, while it is possible that Chitra could have worked with Anjali to disable the lock — especially since a silver button matching Anjali’s coat was found near the display case — this still would not satisfy the requirement of the question. If that scenario were true, Chitra would not have stolen the medallion on her own. Both Anjali and Chitra would be jointly responsible, and the question specifically asks for a condition necessary for Chitra to have committed the theft independently.

• Hence, only knowing the code must be true for Chitra to be the thief. So, Option A is correct and the provisional key should be challenged.
