Statement - Conclusions Questions and Answers

Answer: C

Correct answer: Neither (A) nor (B) follows.

Only intelligent people work at LT, and MTV graduates are intelligent - but that does not put any of them in the company, so (B) does not follow. (A) claims that graduates of other colleges are less intelligent, which neither statement says. Neither follows.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Private companies’ employees work more than Government employees

Six working days against five is a direct comparison of the two, so this conclusion simply reads off the statements. The others go beyond them: nothing is said about which employees are better, nor about how heavy the work is on either side.

Answer: D

Correct answer: None of these.

“Do not smoke” is an instruction and nothing more. It gives no reason and no consequence - not that smoking is an offence, not that it causes cancer, not that a fine will be charged. All of those would have to be brought in from outside, so the answer is none of these.

Answer: D

Correct answer: None of these.

We are told that Ani earns more than Sam and that Sam will get a rise of Rs 5000, but not by how much Ani’s earnings exceed Sam’s. If the gap is under Rs 5000 Sam will overtake her; if it is more, he will not; if exactly Rs 5000, they will be level. Nothing settles which, so the answer is none of these.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Geeta is a friend of Aarti.

Friendship as stated here works both ways, so Aarti being a friend of Geeta makes Geeta a friend of Aarti - the one conclusion that needs nothing added. Friendship is not, however, carried along a chain: Priya being Aarti’s friend and Aarti Geeta’s does not make Priya and Geeta friends.

Answer: E

Correct answer: If both (1) and (2) follow.

The statement names three things that make life beautiful, so conclusion 1 restates it directly. Conclusion 2 is its other side: someone who has only material things, and none of these three, will not have the beauty the statement describes. Both follow.

Answer: D

Correct answer: If neither (1) nor (2) follows.

“One of the most wanted” is not “the first choice”, so conclusion 1 goes further than the statement. Conclusion 2 offers a reason for the demand - good career prospects - which the statement never gives. Neither follows.

Answer: D

Correct answer: If neither (1) nor (2) follows.

Vettori’s 94 out of 240 is a large share, but the other 146 runs might have been made by one batsman rather than several, so conclusion 1 is not certain. Conclusion 2 depends on the other side’s innings, of which nothing is said. Neither follows.

Answer: B

Correct answer: If only conclusion (2) follows.

Aditi is a member, and every member has a business of their own, so conclusion 2 follows at once. Conclusion 1 is about a member’s son and about the future - neither of which the statement touches. Only 2 follows.

Answer: D

Correct answer: If neither (1) nor (2) follows.

Janvi is studying law, not yet a lawyer, so the statement about lawyers does not reach her - conclusion 1 does not follow. Conclusion 2 speaks of her future, of which nothing is said. Neither follows.
