Statement - Conclusions Questions and Answers

Important Instructions
Direction for [ Question No: 41 To 50 ] :

In the question given below one or more statement is/are followed by inferential conclusions. The conclusion which can be derived without supposing anything else. i.e. without adding anything extra to the statement (s) is your answer

41.

Statement: State government imposes a monthly tax on the salary of all the employees.

Conclusions:

(a) A regular collection, irrespective of the income slab, by the Central govt. is the income tax.

(b) The Central govt. should not collect any tax on income.

(c) Income tax should not vary according to the income slabs.

(d) Tax should be imposed only once on an individual.

(e) The State govt. should not impose any tax on income

Answer: B

Correct answer: b

The statement records a state tax on salaries, and the only thing that can be drawn from it without adding anything is (b): if the state is already taxing income, the centre should not be taxing it too - the same income being taxed twice. The others define income tax, prescribe how slabs should work, or lay down rules the statement gives no ground for.

Statement: The eligibility for admission to the course is minimum second class Graduate degree. However, the candidates who have appeared for the final year examination of Graduation can also apply.

I. All candidates who have yet to get their Bachelor’s degree will be there in the list of selected candidates.

II. All candidates having obtained second class Bachelor’s degree will be there in the list of selected candidates.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Neither I nor II follows.

Both conclusions confuse eligibility with selection. Meeting the condition entitles a candidate to apply; it does not put anyone on the selected list, which will depend on the selection process. Neither follows.

Statement: The national norm is 100 beds per thousand population but in this state, 150 beds per thousand are available in the hospital.

Conclusions:

I. Our national norm is appropriate.

II. The state’s health system is taking adequate care in this regard.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only conclusion II follows

With 150 beds per thousand against a norm of 100, the state is comfortably ahead of the requirement, so conclusion II follows. Conclusion I judges the norm itself, and one state exceeding it says nothing about whether the norm is set at the right level. Only II follows.

I. Disturbances in the society are due to people without self-discipline.

The constitution assures the fundamental rights.

Neither conclusion follows: the power to amend does not mean Parliament put the rights there, and the constitution assuring them says nothing about what Parliament did or did not do. None of the above.
