More questions
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
The slogan given in the statement is definitely a catchy one which indicates that catchy slogans do attract people. So, I does not follow. Nothing about people's preference for colours can be deduced from the statement. Thus, II also does not follow.

Explanation:
The employees of a bank going on strike and the government employees calling off their protest seem to be two independent events that might have been triggered by individual causes.
Correct Answer: III only
Explanation:
Statements I and II are not supported by the facts. Statement III is true because if all story-books have pictures and only some have words, then some storybooks have both words and pictures.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
Clearly, the term 'guns' is distributed in both the conclusions without being distributed in any of the premises. So, neither conclusion follows.
Correct Answer: Either I or II follows
Explanation:
Since the middle term 'cakes' is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. So, either I or II follows.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is strong
Explanation:
Clearly, ban is necessary to protect our natural environment. So, none of the arguments is strong enough.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Explanation:
According to the statement, sea transport is cheaper than road transport in the case of route from Bombay to Jafra, not in all the cases. So, conclusion I does not follow. The statement stresses on the saving of fuel. So, conclusion II follows.
