Question : 1
Anyone with a little interest in sports is bound to familiar with Sachin Tendulkar’s name.
a) binding to be familiar

Answer »Answer: (c)
On applying the principle of least deviation, the least deviated options are more likely to be a correct option. Here, among the given options, (b) and (d) are least deviated hence either of the two can be a correct option, at the same time, remaining two options (a) and (c), cannot be the correct options.
Now, let us consider options (b) and (d). Option (d) cannot be a correct option because it has ‘to have familiar’. ‘Have’ means to ‘possess something’.
Familiarity is not something in the form of an object that a man can possess. Hence rule out (d). Now, we are left with (b) only, which is absolutely correct.
