Clearly, an already working Finance Minister shall know better all the plans and resources of the Government and he alone can present a suitable budget. So, course II follows.
2. Statements: Some hens are cows. All cows are horses.
Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So, II follows. I is the converse of II and so it also holds.
3. Statement: Believe me, I have read it in newspaper X.
Assumptions:
Newspaper X gives reliable information/news.
I am reporting exactly as it is given in newspaper X.
The narrator in the statement clearly insists on the reliability of the fact that what he said, he had read it in newspaper X, and not on the truth of what he said. So, only II is implicit
4. Statement: Considering the tickets sold during the last seven days, the circus authorities decided to continue the show for another fortnight which includes two weekends.
Assumptions:
People may not turn up on weekdays.
The average number of people who will be visiting circus will be more or less same as that of the last seven days.
Clearly, the fortnight would include weekdays also. So, I is not implicit. Also, the authorities decided to continue the show with the hope that people would visit the circus in the same numbers as they had done in the last seven days. So, II is implicit. III is vague and so is not implicit.
5. Statements: The 'Official Secrets Act' (OSA) enacted by the ABC government during the war seems to be one of the major source of corruption in the country X.
Conclusions:
The OSA has to be abolished immediately to put an end to the corruption in the country X.
The ABC government had an intention of encouraging corruption in the government offices.
The statement declares enactment of OSA as the direct cause of increase in corruption. So, I follows. However, enactment of an act by a government is undertaken for betterment and not with the intention of encouraging corruption though whatever may be the outcome later on. So, II does not follow.
6. Statements: All those political prisoners were released on bail who had gone to jail for reasons other than political dharnas. Bail was not granted to persons involved in murders.
According to the statement, the political prisoners can be divided into two groups - those who were released and those who were put in jail for political dharnas. However, no person involved in murder was released. This means that no political prisoner had committed murder. So, I follows. Clearly, II is not directly related to the statement and does not follow.
7. Statement: "We do not want you to see our product on newspaper, visit our shop to get a full view." - An advertisement.
Assumptions:
People generally decide to purchase any product after seeing the name in the advertisement.
It can be inferred from the statement that people also like to see a product before buying. So, I is not implicit. Also, the statement is just an attempt to arouse the people to come and see the shop. So, both II and III are implicit.
8. Statement: There has been large number of cases of internet hacking in the recent months creating panic among the internet users.
Courses of Action:
The government machinery should make an all out effort to nab those who are responsible and put them behind bars.
The internet users should be advised to stay away from using internet till the culprits are caught.
Clearly, internet users should not suffer on account of certain individuals who indulge in internet hacking. However, such wrong-doers ought to be penalised so that there are no hassles in the use of internet. So, only course I follows.
9. Statements: Vegetable prices are soaring in the market.
The availability of vegetables is not mentioned in the given statement. So, I does not follow Also, II is not directly related to the statement and so it also does not follow.
10. Statement: The economic condition continues to be critical even after a good harvest season.
Assumptions:
The economic condition was not critical before the harvest season.
The economic condition could not have improved without a good harvest season.
The economic condition was expected to improve after a good harvest season.
It is mentioned that 'the economic condition continues to be critical'. This means that it was critical before the harvest season also. So, I is not implicit. Also, the statement does not imply that only a good harvest season could improve the economic condition. So, II is not implicit. However, since a surprise has been expressed over the condition being critical even after a good harvest season, it means that it was expected to improve after a good harvest season. So, III is implicit.
