What among the following is in conformity with Leibniz’s metaphysical assertion of Pre-established Harmony?
Show Hint
- There is a mutual coordination of mind and body.
- Mind and body are different kinds of substances.
- The mind can causally influence the body.
- Cause of a mental state cannot be any previous state of that mind.
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Leibniz proposed that mind and body do not causally interact but function in perfect coordination.
Step 2: Nature of coordination.
This harmony is established by God in advance, ensuring that mental and physical events correspond without direct causal influence.
Step 3: Evaluation of options.
Option (A) correctly captures this idea of non-causal coordination. Options (B) and (C) contradict Leibniz’s rejection of interactionism, while option (D) misrepresents mental causation in his system.
Step 4: Conclusion.
Thus, mutual coordination of mind and body aligns with Pre-established Harmony.

- An organization allows its employees to work independently on consultancy projects but charges an overhead on the consulting fee.
The overhead is 20% of the consulting fee if the fee is up to ₹5,00,000.
For higher fees, the overhead is ₹1,00,000 plus 10% of the amount by which the fee exceeds ₹5,00,000.
The government charges a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 18% on the total amount (i.e., the consulting fee plus the overhead).
An employee of the organization charges this entire amount — that is, the consulting fee, overhead, and tax — to the client.
If the client cannot pay more than ₹10,00,000, what is the maximum consulting fee that the employee can charge? Eight students (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W) are playing musical chairs.
