More questions
Correct Answer: E4
Explanation:
The letters decrease by 1; the numbers are multiplied by 2.
Correct Answer: false
Explanation:
Rulers are the most expensive item.
Correct Answer: capable : inept
Explanation:
Dependable and capricious are antonyms; capable and inept are antonyms.
Correct Answer: There are cheap dresses also in that shop.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Explanation:
Since both the premises are universal and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, only II follows.
Correct Answer: Both I and II are implicit
Explanation:
The non-provision of funds for welfare activities in the budget clearly indicates the factory's intention to not carry out such activities in the current year. So, I is implicit. Also, welfare activities cannot be carried out in organisations without the allocation of funds for the same in the budget. So, II is also implicit.
Correct Answer: Only II follows
Explanation:
Clearly, I is not practically viable. However, villagers should be rewarded for their courage, to keep up their spirits in future. Thus, II follows.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
Since both the premises are particular, no definite conclusion follows.
Correct Answer: Either I or II is implicit
Explanation:
The words 'Like a mad man' show that either a person is really mad or he is not mad but acted like mad. So, either I or II is implicit.
Correct Answer: Either I or II follows
Explanation:
As discussed above, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some cameras are not magazines'. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or II follows.
