Important Instructions
31.

In the following question, a statement/group of statements is given followed by some conclusions. Without resolving anything yourself, choose the conclusion which logically follows from the statement(s).

Statement - Ability is poor man’s wealth.

Answer: D

Correct answer: A poor man can earn wealth if he has ability.

To call ability the poor man’s wealth is to say that it is what he has to trade on, and therefore his route to acquiring wealth of the ordinary kind. The statement says nothing about rich men in either direction, and nothing about poor men who lack ability, so the other three options all supply information the saying does not contain.

Statement:

If children are to manage our world in future, then they need to be equipped to do so.

Assumptions:

I. The world has always educated children.

II. It is possible to educate children.

Answer: B

Correct answer: If only assumption II is inplicit

The statement says children need to be equipped for a future task, and a recommendation is only meaningful if it can be acted on, so the possibility of educating them is assumed. Assumption I is a claim about the past, that the world has always educated children, which the statement neither states nor requires - it is precisely because the equipping may be lacking that the point is being made.

Statement:

Please do not use lift while going down- an instruction on the top floor of a five-stores building.

Assumptions:

I. While going down the lift is unable to carry any load.

II. Provision of lift is a matter of facility and not of right.

Answer: D

Correct answer: If neither I nor II is implicit

The notice asks people to walk down; it does not say why. Assumption I supplies a mechanical reason - that the lift cannot carry load downward - which is not a property of lifts and is nowhere suggested. Assumption II states a general principle about facilities and rights, which is a justification the notice might invoke if challenged but does not rest on. The request stands as a request.

Assumptions:

I. No other drug is causing ripples in the medical field.

II. Medicine 'x' is a great drug.
