More questions
Correct Answer: Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect
Explanation:
Clearly, the increase in the literacy rate may be attributed directly to the stringent efforts of the district administration in this direction.
Correct Answer: Both the statements I and II are independent causes
Explanation:
The increase in the fees of the private colleges and there being no increase in the same in Government colleges seem to be policy matters undertaken by the individual decisive boards at the two levels.
Correct Answer: Only either I or III follows
Explanation:
Since both the premises are particular, no definite conclusion follows. However, I and III involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or III follows.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
The first premise is A type and distributes the subject. So, the middle term 'waters' which forms its predicate, is not distributed. The second premise is I type and does not distribute either subject or predicate. So, the middle term 'waters' forming its subject is not distributed. Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Explanation:
Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, only I follows.
Correct Answer: Only III follows
Explanation:
III is the converse of the first premise and so it holds.
Some rats are cats. Some cats are dogs.
Since both the premises are particular, no definite conclusion follows.
Some cats are dogs. No dog is cow.
Since one premise is particular and the other negative, the conclusion must be particular negative (O-type) and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some cats are not cows'.
Correct Answer: Both I and II follow
Explanation:
As discussed above, it follows that 'All huts are temples'. I is the converse of this conclusion and so it holds. II is the converse of the second premise and so it also holds.
Correct Answer: The demand for more universities is being stepped up.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
Doing away with cinema halls is no solution. Hence, none of the courses follows. Instead, certain incentives and promotional schemes should be awarded to cinema hall owners so that they could manage to draw in crowds.
Correct Answer: Only II follows
Explanation:
The statement implies that capsule Vitamin E does not function so effectively as natural Vitamin E. Since no negative effect of capsule Vitamin E is mentioned, so I does not follow. Hence, only II follows.
