More questions
Correct Answer: if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
Explanation:
It is not necessary that the price rise be there in the mind of Government while taking the decision. In fact the truth is that our petroleum companies are running losses even after the drop in international price. Hence, both are invalid assumptions.
Correct Answer: Only II is true
Explanation:
M ? D ...(i) D< K ...(ii) K ? N ...(iii)
From (i) and (ii) K and M can't be compared.
Hence I does not follow.
From (ii) and (iii) D < K ? N or N > D.
Hence II follows. From (i) and II, M and N can't be compared. Hence III does not follow.
Correct Answer: if either conclusion I or conclusion II is true
Explanation:
V > I ...(i) I ? M ...(ii) M ? Q ...(iii)
From (ii) and (iii) I and Q, can't be compared. But I and II make a complementary pair. Hence either I (I ? Q) or II (I ? Q) follows.
Correct Answer:

Some jungles are kites (I) Hence IV follows. some pencils are kites + Some jungles are kites = I + I = No conclusion Hence I and II does not follow. All desks are jungles + All jungles are mountains = A + A = A = All desks are mountains ? Conversion ? Some mountains are desks (I). Hence III follows.

Correct Answer: 22, 01, 55, 66
Explanation:
From above given matrices I and II , we can see that
Matrix-I
F ? 00, 12, 24, 31, 43
M ? 02, 14, 21, 33, 40
O ? 01, 13, 20, 32, 44
R ? 04, 11, 23, 30, 42
S ? 03, 10, 22, 34, 41
Matrix-II
A ? 55, 67, 79, 86, 98
P ? 59, 66, 78, 85, 97
From given matrix it is clear that all the values for word SOAP are matched in only option ( 2 ) for every letter . So , the set for the word SOAP will be 22, 01, 55, 66 .From matrix , option ( 2 ) is required answer.
Correct Answer: Only II and III follow
Explanation:
All keys are balloons + Some balloons are mirrors = A + I = No conclusion Hence I does not follow. All chairs are keys + All keys are balloons = A + A = A = All chairs are balloons ? conversion ? Some balloons are chairs (I) Hence II follows. Some balloons are mirrors (I) ? conversion ? Some mirrors are balloons (I) Hence III follows.
