Statement - Conclusions Questions and Answers

Important Instructions
Direction for [ Question No: 101 To 110 ] :

In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.

Give answer:

  • (A) If only conclusion I follows
  • (B) If only conclusion II follows
  • (C) If either I or II follows
  • (D) If neither I nor II follows and
  • (E) If both I and II follow.

101.

Statements: A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

Conclusions:

1. We should be content with what we have.

2. We should not crave for what is not.

Answer: E

Correct answer: Both I and II follow

The proverb values what is actually held above what is merely hoped for, which is precisely conclusion I - be content with what you have - and conclusion II, that one should not hanker after what one does not have. Both follow.

Statements: This world is neither good nor evil; each man manufactures a world for himself.

Conclusions:

1. Some people find this world quite good.

2. Some people find this world quite bad.

Answer: E

Correct answer: Both I and II follow

If each man makes his own world, then the world will strike different people differently - some finding it good and some bad. That is exactly what the two conclusions say between them. Both follow.

Statements: The eligibility for admission to the course is minimum second class Master's degree. However, the candidates who have appeared for the final year examination of Master's degree can also apply.

Conclusions:

1. All candidates who have yet to get their Master's degree will be there in the list of selected candidates.

2. All candidates having obtained second class Master's degree will be there in the list of selected candidates

Answer: D

The statement mentions that the candidates who have obtained second class Master's degree or have appeared for the final year examination of Master's degree, can apply for admission. This implies that both types of candidates may be selected on certain grounds. Thus, some candidates of each type and not all candidates of any one type, may be selected. So, neither I nor II follows.

Statements: Any student who does not behave properly while in the school brings bad name to himself and also for the school.

Conclusions:

1. Such student should be removed from the school.

2. Stricter discipline does not improve behaviour of the students.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Neither I nor II follows

Conclusion I prescribes a punishment the statement never suggests; it says only that such conduct brings a bad name. Conclusion II makes a claim about the effect of strict discipline, which the statement does not touch on at all. Neither follows.

Statements: A Corporate General Manager asked four managers to either submit their resignations by the next day or face termination orders from service. Three of them had submitted their resignations by that evening.

Conclusions:

1. The next day, the remaining manager would also resign.

2. The General Manager would terminate his services the next day

Answer: C

Correct answer: Either I or II follows

The manager was given exactly two courses: resign by the next day, or be terminated. One of the two must therefore happen to the fourth manager, though which one cannot be told. That is what makes it either I or II.

Statements: Only good singers are invited in the conference. No one without sweet voice is a good singer.

Conclusions:

1. All invited singers in the conference have sweet voice.

2. Those singers who do not have sweet voice are not invited in the conference

Answer: E

The statement asserts that a good singer always has a sweet voice and only good singers are invited in the conference. This implies that all those invited in the conference have sweet voice and those who do not have sweet voice are not invited. So, both I and II follow

Statements: To cultivate interest in reading, the school has made it compulsory from June this year for each student to read two books per week and submit a weekly report on the books.

Conclusions:

1. Interest in reading can be created by force.

2. Some students will eventually develop interest in reading

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only conclusion II follows

Conclusion I overstates the case: the school is compelling the reading, but nothing says the interest itself can be forced into being. Conclusion II is the modest expectation behind the rule - that out of the whole school at least some students will come to enjoy reading. Only II follows.

Statements: Applications of applicants who do no fulfil eligibility criteria and/or who do not submit applications before last date will be summarily rejected and will not be called for the written test.

Conclusions:

1. Those who are called for the written test are those who fulfil eligibility criteria and have submitted their applications before last date.

2. Written test will be held only after scrutiny of applications

Answer: E

The statement clearly mentions that fulfilling the eligibility criteria and submitting the application before the stipulated date are both essential to avoid rejection. So, I follows. Also, since it is given that the candidates whose applications are rejected shall not be called for written test, so II also follows.

Statements: Recent trends also indicate that the number of child migrants in large cities is increasing. These children leave their families to join the ranks of urban poor doing odd jobs in markets, workshops, hotels or in service sectors.

Conclusions:

1. Migration to big cities should be checked.

2. The plight of poor children should be thoroughly studied

Answer: D

Correct answer: Neither I nor II follows

Both conclusions prescribe action, while the statement only reports a trend. It says neither that migration ought to be stopped - which would not help the children who have already come - nor that a study should be commissioned. Neither follows.

Statements: No country is absolutely self-dependent these days.

Conclusions:

1. It is impossible to grow and produce all that a country needs.

2. Countrymen in general have become lazy.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only conclusion I follows

If no country is self-dependent, then no country manages to produce everything it needs, which is conclusion I. Conclusion II blames laziness, a cause the statement never suggests - dependence arises from geography, resources and specialisation. Only I follows.
