Correct Answer: Either I or II follows
Explanation:
The statement asserts that 25 independent M.L.A.s shall join one party only. Thus, they may join XYZ or any other party. So, either I or II follows.
Correct Answer: Both I and II follow
Explanation:
Clearly, both I and II correctly explain the given statement. So, both follow.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Explanation:
The statement talks of 'adversity' in general and not lack of money'. So, I does not follow. II correctly explains the statement and hence it follows.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Explanation:
Clearly, I follows directly from the given statement. However, II is not related to the given statement and so does not follow.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
The statement does not talk against the auction but only speaks of the response it received from the bidders and gold producers. So, I does not follow. The phrase 'plenty of bidders looking for a bargain' is quite contrary to II. So, II also does not follow.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Explanation:
Clearly, the statement talks of Company X only and no other company. So, I does not follow. Also, it is mentioned that one can take a good shot even in bad weather conditions with a camera of Company X. So, II follows.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Explanation:
It is mentioned in the statement that India's economy depends mainly on forests. This means that forests should be preserved. So, I follows. But, that only preservation of forests can improve the economy, cannot be said. So, II does not follow.
Correct Answer: Only I and IV follow
Explanation:
Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'All branches are leaves'. Thus, I follows. IV is the converse of this conclusion and so it also holds.
Correct Answer: Only II and III follow
Explanation:
Since one premise is particular and the other negative, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, II follows. III is the converse of the first premise and thus it also holds.
Correct Answer: Only III and IV follow
Explanation:
Since the middle term 'trains' is not distributed even once in the/premises, no definite conclusion follows. However, III is the converse of the second premise while IV is the converse of the first premise. So, both of them hold.
