Statement: Hard work is the key to success. Conclusions: I. All successful people are hardworking. II. Laziness leads to failure. MCQ with Answer and Explanation
Statement: Hard work is the key to success. Conclusions: I. All successful people are hardworking. II. Laziness leads to failure.
A. Both I and II follow
B. Only II follows
C. Only I follows
D. Neither I nor II follows
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
I does not follow: the statement does not say that all successful people are hardworking (there could be other factors). II is an assumption not directly stated. Neither follows.
Statement: Since inequality is built in, wherever there is development there is little that can be done to arrest it except at the cost of development itself.
Conclusions:
I. To achieve development, inequality should be allowed to continue.
II. Equality and development do not go together.
Explanation:
Both conclusions follow from the statement. If arresting inequality comes at the cost of development, then to achieve development, inequality must be allowed (I). Also, it implies equality and development are not compatible (II).
Statement: The Official Secrets Act (O.S.A.) enacted by the XYZ government during the war seems to be the source of much corruption in the country 'P'.
Conclusions:
I. The Official Secrets Act has to be abolished, immediately to stop corruption in country 'P'.
II. The XYZ government wanted to encourage corruption in the government offices.
Explanation:
Conclusion I follows: if the Act is a source of corruption, abolishing it could stop corruption. Conclusion II does not follow; the Act was enacted during war for secrecy, not to promote corruption.
Statements:
1. Some books are pens.
2. Some pens are erasers.
Conclusions:
I. Some books are erasers.
II. No book is an eraser.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
There is no direct relationship established between books and erasers. They might overlap, or they might not. Therefore, neither conclusion can be definitively drawn individually. However, they form a complementary pair (Some A are B / No A is B), meaning one of them must be true. Hence, 'Either I or II follows' is the correct logical deduction. (Mapped to option C for this specific question).
