Statement - Conclusions Questions and Answers

Answer: D

Correct answer: Neither I or II follows

The statement judges books that lack knowledge of life to be useless. Conclusion I says the opposite - that all books contain such knowledge. Conclusion II turns the remark into advice about how people should live, which it does not give. Neither follows.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only conclusion II follows.

To speak of governments that refuse people liberty and the right to dissent is to treat those as things the people want and are being denied - conclusion II. Conclusion I says the opposite, that people are indifferent to them. Only II follows.

Answer: E

Correct answer: Both I and II follows

A college does not start such a cell without the staff and space to run it - conclusion I - nor without a demand for what it offers, which is conclusion II. Both follow.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only conclusion II follows.

If fashion must be altered every six months, it is because people will not stay with the same thing - conclusion II, their appetite for novelty. Conclusion I blames the designers’ grasp of the public mind, whereas the remark suggests they read it only too well. Only II follows.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only conclusion II follows.

The statement makes economic equality the condition on which political freedom and democracy become meaningful, which is conclusion II. Conclusion I asserts a link between political freedom and democracy that is never argued; they are merely named together. Only II follows.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Both I and II are strong.

Both arguments bear directly on the question and both are weighty. New industry would indeed create employment, which matters in a city that needs it; and heavy industry would indeed add to Kolkata’s pollution, which is already a serious problem. Each addresses a real consequence of the decision, so both are strong.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only Argument II is strong

Argument II rests on a real difference between school and college: college students are adults, and dictating their dress is a needless restriction on people old enough to choose. Argument I appeals only to the look of the place, which is a trivial ground for compelling thousands of adults. Only II is strong.

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.
