More questions
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
Both the premises are A type propositions. So, the middle term 'honest' forming the predicate in each is not distributed in either. Since the middle term is not distributed even once, no definite conclusion follows.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is implicit
Explanation:
Since both the assumptions do not follow from the given statement, so neither I nor II is implicit.
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
The statement does not mention any quality of the National Times. So, I is not implicit. According to the statement, amongst all newspapers, the narrator reads the National Times. This means that some people read other newspapers. So, II is implicit.
Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit
Explanation:
Clearly, fascism and communism are against the preservation of individual rights. So, I is implicit. Nothing is mentioned about the economic condition of America. So, II is not implicit.
Correct Answer: Both the statements I and II are independent causes
Explanation:
The two statements discuss two separate statistical and generalised results.
Correct Answer: Both I and II follow
Explanation:
The statement clearly mentions that fulfilling the eligibility criteria and submitting the application before the stipulated date are both essential to avoid rejection. So, I follows. Also, since it is given that the candidates whose applications are rejected shall not be called for written test, so II also follows.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Explanation:
The statement is a symbolic one and only II correctly explains it.
Correct Answer: II only
Explanation:
Statement II is the only true statement. Since all dogs like to run, then the ones who like to swim also like to run. There is no support for statement I or statement III.
Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit
Explanation:
The lacking in first four or five years can be adverse because it is the main period of development. So, I is implicit. Since nothing is mentioned about the predictability of intelligence, II is not implicit.
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
The statement mentions the good qualities of X coil but this does not mean it is the best. So, I is not implicit. Besides, an advertisement highlights the feature which is desirable by customers and can lure them. So, II is implicit.
