I. Mr X did meet the Chief Minister yesterday to seek certain favours.
II. Mr X did not meet the Chief Minister to seek certain favours.
(a) Only conclusion I follows
(b) Only conclusion II follows
(c) Either I or II follows
(d) Neither I nor II follows
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) Either I or II follows
Explanation:
1. The statement only reports an allegation and its denial; it does not tell us which side is true.

3. So either I or II follows.
Teacher's Note:

2. 'Either I or II' fits only when the two conclusions cannot both be true and cannot both be false.

(d) Neither I nor II follows
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
1. The advertisement talks about consistent performance in the long term, not about high gains in the short term, so I does not follow.

3. Hence neither follows.
Teacher's Note:
1. Treat the statement as true even if it sounds unusual in real life.

(a) Only conclusion I follows
(b) Only conclusion II follows
(c) Either I or II follows
(d) Neither I nor II follows
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
1. Using practices of leading institutes does not make MN Institute a leading institute itself, so I does not follow.

3. Hence neither follows.
Teacher's Note:
1. When two conclusions are exact opposites and the statement does not settle the matter, the answer is usually 'Either I or II'.
2. For advertisements and notices, ask what the writer clearly intends the reader to understand.

(c) Either I or II follows
(d) Neither I nor II follows
Show Answer & Explanation

Explanation:
1. The minister only questioned the programme's utility; this is his opinion, not an established fact, so I does not follow.
2. The statement does not say that all research should be oriented to national needs, so II does not follow.
3. Hence neither follows.
Teacher's Note:
1. Judge each conclusion only by what the statement actually says; your own knowledge or opinion does not count.
2. A conclusion must follow beyond reasonable doubt, so words like 'only', 'all' and 'never' usually make it fail.

I. The laws and statutes should be framed but they should not be implemented to avoid corrupt working system.
II. There should be obvious method to investigate corrupt working system.
(a) Only conclusion I follows

Show Answer & Explanation

2. The statement does not discuss any method of investigation, so II goes beyond it.
3. Hence neither follows.
Teacher's Note:
1. Check whether a conclusion goes beyond the scope of the statement; if it brings in new subjects, it does not follow.
2. Read the conclusions separately first, then check whether they form a complementary pair.

II. Mrs X is the member of Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes.

3. So either I or II follows.
Teacher's Note:
1. Treat the statement as true even if it sounds unusual in real life.

Show Answer & Explanation

3. Hence only I follows.
Teacher's Note:
1. When two conclusions are exact opposites and the statement does not settle the matter, the answer is usually 'Either I or II'.
2. For advertisements and notices, ask what the writer clearly intends the reader to understand.

Teacher's Note:
1. Judge each conclusion only by what the statement actually says; your own knowledge or opinion does not count.
2. A conclusion must follow beyond reasonable doubt, so words like 'only', 'all' and 'never' usually make it fail.

3. Hence only II follows.
Teacher's Note:
1. Check whether a conclusion goes beyond the scope of the statement; if it brings in new subjects, it does not follow.
2. Read the conclusions separately first, then check whether they form a complementary pair.

III. Perfect dedication to God is essential to realize the existence of ultimate reality.
(a) Only conclusion I follows
(b) Only conclusions II and III follow
(c) Only conclusions I and III follow
(d) All conclusions follow
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) Only conclusions I and III follow
Explanation:
1. Statement I links meditation and dedication to God with finding ultimate reality, so conclusion I (meditation helps realize God) follows.
2. For the same reason, dedication to God is presented as the path to ultimate reality, so conclusion III follows.
3. Nothing says meditation fails to give Mukti, so conclusion II does not follow. Hence only I and III follow.
Teacher's Note:
1. Treat the statement as true even if it sounds unusual in real life.
2. An assumption is taken for granted before a statement; a conclusion is drawn after it. Do not mix the two.

3. Hence neither follows.
Teacher's Note:
1. Judge each conclusion only by what the statement actually says; your own knowledge or opinion does not count.

1. Judge each conclusion only by what the statement actually says; your own knowledge or opinion does not count.
2. A conclusion must follow beyond reasonable doubt, so words like 'only', 'all' and 'never' usually make it fail.
