Question - Statements Questions and Answers

Answer: D

The statement tells us that U.S.A. is helping Pakistan build up a massive military. This means that U.S.A. is an ally of Pakistan and we could also infer that U.S.A, in terms of military, is much stronger than Pakistan. Students should be very cautions here as to not bring in their general awareness and relate this aspect to India, as the passage does not mention India in any way, nor does it explicitly state the reason as to why Pakistan intends to build up its military. Hence, any reason given for the same would be pure conjecture and not supported by evidence from the passage. Conclusion I is rejected as the statement does not hint at the reason for U.S.A. helping Pakistan. In much the same way the sentence does not give any reason for Pakistan building up its military. Hence, II also does not follow.

Answer: C

Correct answer: This is a good book.

The sentence puts this book in the class of things that help, and it does so by way of the rule that good books help - the clause “and so will this one” carries the implication that the book belongs to that class. The statement makes no comparison with other books, says nothing about bad ones, and directly contradicts the suggestion that some good books do not help.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Only II follows

The statement itself says that October 2nd has already been named the International Day of Non-Violence, and the sentence attributes the initiative to the United Nations, so conclusion II is simply the statement restated. Conclusion I claims that countries all over the world honour the policy, and III that the UN wants every country to adopt it - neither is stated, and issuing a commemorative stamp establishes neither.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Narendra and Arvind were guilty.

The word only makes the inference valid: if the arrested set contains none but guilty singers, then anyone arrested is a guilty singer, and Narendra and Arvind were arrested. The other three reverse or overextend the classes - that all singers are guilty, that all arrested people are singers, or that these two were not singers - none of which follows from a statement about who was arrested.

Answer: D

Providing anything for a solution automatically leads to the fact that the provider has assumed that neither it will disturb while working nor it has any adverse side effect, and that it will rather promote the work.

Answer: D

Correct answer: None of these.

The statement reports what the government did not do and attaches a purpose clause to it, which leaves the sentence ambiguous rather than informative. It does not establish what the farmers want, and it certainly does not settle anything about farmers in areas that were not drought-hit. Since none of the three offered conclusions can be drawn from what is actually said, the fourth is the answer.

Answer: A

As the company is installing gym to keep its employees fit, there is an implicit assumption that gym can keep them fit, I is implicit.

II is a conclusion.

Implementation is based on the assumption of the utilization of the facility. III is implicit.

Only I and III are implicit.

Answer: A

The fact that this suggestion is given means that the book could be useful for the exam. Hence, assumption I follows. The person may be preparing for the exam or he may be the publisher of the book who makes this statement to gamer publicity. Hence, (II) is not implicit.

Answer: B

The employee is relating stress to attitude but not to success. Hence neither I nor II is implicit.

There is a relation between stress and attitude.

According to the employee attitude can make work stressful or stress less.

Only III is implicit.

Answer: A

Correct answer: If only assumption I is inplicit

Calling help to the poor a service presupposes that the poor stand in need of it; without that need there would be nothing to serve. Assumption II goes much further, making the failure to help a forfeiture of one’s humanity. The statement praises an action; it does not condemn those who omit it.
