More questions
Correct Answer: Both I and II are strong
Explanation:
Clearly, neither the students can be burdened with studies at such a tender age, nor can they be left free to take studies casually, as this shall weaken their basic foundation. So, both the arguments follow.
Correct Answer: Only II is strong
Explanation:
Genetically modified imported seeds have been specially formulated to increase the yield and quality of produce. So, argument II is strong. Besides, increase in production holds much more significance than the sale of domestically produced seeds. Thus, argument I does not hold. Also, the genetically modified seeds result in a producer of finer quality which is no way harmful to the consumer. So, III also does not hold strong.
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
The statement expresses concern over the issue as to when our country would be able to curb terrorism completely. This means that efforts are on and it is quite possible to put an end to terrorist activities although it could take longer. So, only II is implicit.
Correct Answer: Both I and II are implicit
Explanation:
Clearly, A wishes to study the degree of effect of pay revision on job satisfaction of employees. This means that job satisfaction can be measured and A is capable of making such a study. So, both I and II are implicit.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is implicit
Explanation:
Since both I and II do not follow from the statement, so neither of them is implicit.
Correct Answer: Both I and II are implicit
Explanation:
The notice is meant for the people to read. So, it is assumed that the people are literate and I is implicit. Since the notice is to be read by everyone entering the club, so it is assumed that no blind person comes to the club. Thus, II is implicit.
Correct Answer: Both I and II follow
Explanation:
Clearly, the situation demands that the faults in Accounts be properly worked out and the persons involved be interrogated about the matter. So, both the courses follow.
Correct Answer: Only argument II is strong
Explanation:

Correct Answer: Only I and III follow
Explanation:
The solution to the problem lies in accommodating the increasing number of students passing out from schools. So, only I and III follow.
Correct Answer: Only I and III are implicit
Explanation:
Since A has decided to gift a book to Ajay on his birthday, it is quite evident that he will be invited by Ajay and that a book is an acceptable gift. So, both I and III are implicit. Nothing about the state of health of the person can be deduced from the statement. So, II is not implicit.
