Question 1

Verification of truth: Which of the following is always associated with justice? Select the attribute that must accompany justice for it to be valid.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: The question seeks the attribute that must accompany justice—i.e., the quality without which the claim to “justice” fails conceptually or institutionally. Given Data / Assumptions: We consider justice in legal/moral contexts. We distinguish essential from desirable-but-optional traits. Concept / Approach: Justice requires legitimacy: conformity to lawful authority, due process, or morally warranted principles. Magnanimity can decorate outcomes; hypocrisy contradicts justice; “diminutives” is irrelevant. Step-by-Step Solution: Test each option for necessity.Hypocrisy conflicts with justice; thus not “always associated.”Magnanimity (generosity) may or may not accompany just rulings; not required.Legitimacy—lawful/morally valid grounding—is essential to call an outcome “just.”“Diminutives” is unrelated. Verification / Alternative check: Across judicial systems and ethical theories, the idea of justice presupposes rightful authority and valid procedure—i.e., legitimacy. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Hypocrisy: undermines justice. Magnanimity: optional virtue, not a prerequisite. Diminutives: irrelevant word-class notion. None of these: incorrect because legitimacy is necessary. Common Pitfalls: Confusing admirable traits (magnanimity) with definitional requirements (legitimacy). Final Answer: Legitimacy

Accepted Answer

A hill can be without Trees, Animals and Water. But a Hill cannot be Hill without Height.

Question 3

A lotus flower always has

Accepted Answer

NA

Question 4

Verification of truth – causal fallacy: "The conclusion drawn is: the presence of calcium in milk makes it white. Rice, too, is white. Therefore rice also contains calcium." Evaluate the truth value of this conclusion.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: This item tests recognition of a common reasoning error: confusing correlation with causation and committing the fallacy of affirming the consequent. Milk is white and contains calcium; the argument jumps to “calcium causes whiteness,” then generalizes to “anything white (e.g., rice) must contain calcium.” Given Data / Assumptions: Premise A: Milk is white. Premise B: Milk contains calcium. Claimed rule: “Whiteness is caused by calcium.” (not established) Observation: Rice is white. Concept / Approach: Even if X has property P and Q, we cannot conclude that P is caused by Q. Many substances are white for varied reasons (particle size, structure, pigments), and many calcium-rich items are not white. The correct logic would require a validated rule like “If (contains calcium) then (white)” and its confirmed causality—neither is given. Step-by-Step Solution: 1) Observed conjunction in milk: whiteness ∧ calcium.2) Illicit causal leap: calcium → whiteness (not supported).3) Affirming the consequent: rice is white ⇒ rice has calcium (invalid).4) Counterexamples: white sugar, white salt, white chalk (calcium carbonate) vs. white plastics, paper, talc—whiteness arises from scattering/structure, not necessarily calcium content. Verification / Alternative check: Ask whether reversing the putative rule holds: Do all calcium-containing things appear white? No (e.g., spinach, almonds). Do all white things contain high calcium? No (e.g., refined sugar). Why Other Options Are Wrong: True and Probably true wrongly accept an unproven causal law. Can’t say is too weak: we have sufficient reason to reject the argument's logic, not merely suspend judgment. Common Pitfalls: Assuming one feature causes another because they co-occur; generalizing from a single example; mistaking necessary/sufficient conditions. Final Answer: False

Question 5

Verification of truth – car starts suddenly, boy on back seat bends backward: "A boy is sitting on the back seat of a car. When the driver starts the car suddenly, the boy bends towards the backside." Choose the most accurate frequency.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: This question probes everyday physics (Newton’s laws) and how human bodies respond to sudden acceleration of a vehicle. It requires judging typicality rather than logical necessity. Given Data / Assumptions: The car starts suddenly (forward acceleration). The boy sits on the back seat without special restraints other than a typical seatback. We assess what usually happens in such starts. Concept / Approach: By inertia (Newton’s first law), a body at rest resists change in motion. When the car accelerates forward, the seat pushes the boy’s lower back forward; relative to the car’s frame, his upper body tends to “lag,” giving the sensation/appearance of bending backwards. Step-by-Step Solution: 1) Initial state: boy and car at rest.2) Car accelerates forward abruptly.3) Contact forces from the seat accelerate the boy; the upper body’s inertia produces a backward lean relative to the seat.4) Outcome: apparent backward bend is the common result. Verification / Alternative check: Real-world exceptions exist: if the boy anticipates and tenses forward, braces with hands, or if seatbelts/child restraints limit motion, the observable lean can be reduced or absent. Hence it is not “always.” Why Other Options Are Wrong: Always overstates, ignoring cases with restraints or anticipatory bracing. Sometimes understates; the effect is common. Never contradicts basic inertia. Common Pitfalls: Confusing the frame of reference (car vs. ground) and misreading “generally” vs. “always.” Final Answer: Generally

Question 6

Verification of truth – age vs height: "My 10-year-old niece is taller than my 12-year-old son." How often can such a situation occur?

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: This is about biological variability. Height depends on genetics, nutrition, health, and growth timing, not strictly on chronological age. The statement asks how often a younger child can be taller than an older child. Given Data / Assumptions: Child A: 10 years old (niece). Child B: 12 years old (son). We compare typical growth patterns but allow individual variation. Concept / Approach: Height distributions overlap across ages. Some 10-year-olds can fall in higher percentiles than some 12-year-olds, especially around growth spurts. Therefore, the scenario is possible but not guaranteed nor typical. Step-by-Step Solution: 1) Recognize overlapping percentile curves by age.2) Consider early/late puberty effects and sex differences.3) Conclude that while older children tend to be taller on average, counterexamples occur. Verification / Alternative check: Population growth charts show broad ranges for each age; interquartile spans overlap across adjacent ages, supporting “sometimes.” Why Other Options Are Wrong: Always and Generally are too strong; averages do not imply certainties. Never is false; many families observe younger-taller cases. Common Pitfalls: Assuming monotonic height increase with age across different individuals rather than within the same individual. Final Answer: Sometimes

Question 7

Verification of truth – "High tides occur on Maha-Ashtami." Judge the frequency of this statement.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: The prompt mixes a tidal phenomenon with a festival day (Maha-Ashtami, the eighth lunar day of a fortnight). Tides depend on gravitational alignments (Moon, Sun) and local coastal dynamics; festival dates track lunar tithis but are not rigid predictors of specific tide heights. Given Data / Assumptions: Tides (high/low) occur daily due to lunar/solar gravity. Maha-Ashtami is a calendrical designation (tithi 8), not fixed to particular lunar phase angles relative to local high-tide timing. Local tide times vary by location and shift daily. Concept / Approach: Since every coastal location experiences high tides on most days, including the day labeled Maha-Ashtami, it is true that a high tide will occur that day somewhere and sometime. However, the statement as phrased implies a special or necessary association, which is not universal. Step-by-Step Solution: 1) Distinguish astronomical cause (lunar/solar gravity) from cultural calendar labels.2) Recognize high tides occur roughly twice daily in most coasts.3) Conclude the occurrence is not guaranteed at a specific notable level nor at a particular observed time tied to the festival—thus “sometimes.” Verification / Alternative check: New/full moon (spring tides) correlate with stronger highs, but Ashtami (day 8) is mid-fortnight; still, local highs happen every day, though their extremity is not festival-dependent. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Always implies a special causal link—overreach. Generally suggests typical emphasis around that tithi—also too strong. Never is false because tides do occur daily. Common Pitfalls: Confusing regular astronomical cycles with cultural labels; assuming causation from coincidence. Final Answer: Sometimes

Question 8

Verification of truth – "An inferior (bad) egg always sinks in water." Assess the statement's validity.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: This common household test relates buoyancy to egg freshness. As an egg ages, air space increases, lowering its average density; older/spoiled eggs tend to float. The statement claims the opposite—“always sinks.” Given Data / Assumptions: “Inferior” means stale/spoiled or otherwise not good for use. Fresh eggs are denser than water and usually sink/lie flat. Old/spoiled eggs often float or stand upright due to larger air cell. Concept / Approach: Buoyancy depends on density vs. water. As internal gases build up, density drops; floating becomes likely. Therefore, the claim “always sinks” flips the typical sign and is not merely sometimes wrong—it is systematically wrong as a rule. Step-by-Step Solution: 1) Fresh egg: high density ⇒ sinks, lies flat.2) Aging egg: lower density ⇒ may sink tip-up or stand.3) Spoiled/very old egg: lowest density ⇒ tends to float. Verification / Alternative check: Practical kitchen guidance treats floating as a clear red flag. While definitions of “inferior” vary (e.g., cracked shell might still sink), the sweeping “always sinks” claim is untenable—there are abundant counterexamples (floating bad eggs). Why Other Options Are Wrong: Always/Generally contradict observed buoyancy patterns. Sometimes is too lenient; the proposition specifically says “always sinks,” which is never a reliable truth about bad eggs. Common Pitfalls: Over-generalizing from a single case; ignoring the density change due to enlarged air cell. Final Answer: Never

Question 9

Verification of truth – "An animal always has ___." Identify the feature present in all animals.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: This question asks for a structural attribute that is universal across the animal kingdom. Some options name organs that many (but not all) animals possess. Given Data / Assumptions: Lungs: absent in many animals (fish, numerous invertebrates). Brain: lacking in simple animals (e.g., sponges; nerve nets in cnidarians instead of centralized brains). Heart: absent in many invertebrates and primitive forms. "Skin": generalized external covering (integument) present across animals, though its form varies (epidermis, cuticle, exoskeleton with epidermal layer beneath). Concept / Approach: In biology, the integumentary system—an outer covering that protects and interfaces with the environment—is universal to animals, though its structure differs (mammalian skin, reptilian scales, arthropod cuticle over epidermis, etc.). Hence “skin” as a generalized outer covering is the only broadly correct universal among the given choices. Step-by-Step Solution: 1) Eliminate non-universals: lungs, brains, hearts are not present in all animals.2) Recognize “skin” as shorthand for integument, universally present in animals.3) Select “Skin.” Verification / Alternative check: Even organisms with shells or exoskeletons have an epidermal tissue layer—an integument that qualifies as “skin” in a broad, exam-style sense. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Lungs/brain/heart exclude wide swaths of the animal kingdom; picking them would make the statement false for many taxa. Common Pitfalls: Interpreting “skin” narrowly as mammalian skin; exam conventions use it to mean “outer body covering.” Final Answer: Skin

Question 10

Verification of truth – "Bargaining always comprises ____." Choose the essential element.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Bargaining is a negotiation process to reach mutual agreement. The question asks for the element inherent to bargaining. Given Data / Assumptions: We consider core features of negotiation: proposals, concessions, counter-offers. We must avoid importing subjective moral labels (e.g., generosity, baseness). Concept / Approach: At its core, bargaining entails reciprocal concessions—each side offers something and expects something in return, i.e., “give and take.” Step-by-Step Solution: 1) Define bargaining: interactive process of offer and counteroffer.2) Identify reciprocity as the constant across contexts.3) Select “Give and take.” Verification / Alternative check: Whether in markets, labor talks, or daily life, bargaining without reciprocal movement is mere dictation, not negotiation. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Generosity may occur, but is not required. Baseness is a value judgment, not intrinsic. Costliness is incidental, not definitional. Common Pitfalls: Confusing typical haggling tone with the logical structure of bargaining. Final Answer: Give and take

Question 11

Verification of truth – "Blameless always has ____." Identify the necessary accompaniment (if any).

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: “Blameless” means free of fault or guilt. The prompt asks for something that always accompanies blamelessness. We test necessity, not possibility. Given Data / Assumptions: Blameless = without blame/culpability. Options list reactions or related concepts (punishment, blame, prevention, scold). Concept / Approach: By definition, blameless explicitly excludes blame and associated sanctions. None of the offered items is a necessary accompaniment of innocence. Step-by-Step Solution: 1) Eliminate “Blame” and “Punishment,” which presuppose fault.2) “Scold” is a response to perceived wrongdoing—again, not a necessary companion of innocence.3) “Prevention” is a process to stop problems; it may co-occur but is not entailed by someone being blameless. Verification / Alternative check: Consider contexts (court acquittal, exoneration, or clear alibi): none of the listed outcomes must occur. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Each suggests either fault or a contingent reaction, not a definitional necessity. Common Pitfalls: Reading “blameless” as “leads to no harm,” then inferring prevention; that is a category error. Final Answer: None of these

Question 12

Verification of truth – "A factory must have ____." Identify the necessary component.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: The prompt asks for a requirement that applies to factories in general, not only to specific eras or industries. We interpret “labour” broadly as human workers (including supervisory/technical staff). Given Data / Assumptions: Factories are places of production/processing. Some factories are highly automated. Not all factories have chimneys (non-smokestack industries), nor run exclusively on electricity in all historical contexts. Concept / Approach: Even automated plants require human personnel for operation, oversight, safety, maintenance, logistics, and quality control. Thus, some level of labour is indispensable. Step-by-Step Solution: 1) Chimney: specific to combustion/venting industries; not universal.2) Electricity: widespread today but not a logical must (historically steam/other power); also some processes could be off-grid with alternatives.3) Seller: sales function may be offsite; a factory can be captive to another business unit.4) Labour: minimal but necessary human presence is universal. Verification / Alternative check: Legal/safety regimes require responsible human operators; fully “lights-out” plants still maintain staff for monitoring and intervention. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They are contingent on industry or organizational structure, not definitional. Common Pitfalls: Equating common modern features (electricity) with logical necessities. Final Answer: Labour

Question 13

Verification of truth – "A husband is always ____ than his wife." Assess the statement's validity and pick the best completion (if any were universally true).

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: This item tests recognition of over-generalization and stereotype. The stem asserts an absolute (“always”) comparative about husbands versus wives. Given Data / Assumptions: No universal biological or cognitive rule fixes relative height, looks, size, or intelligence between spouses. Individual variation and partner choice yield all combinations. Concept / Approach: To be “always,” a property must hold for every married couple—not merely be common in some populations. None of the listed traits meets that standard. Step-by-Step Solution: 1) Height: many wives are taller than husbands.2) “More handsome” is subjective and gendered.3) “Bigger” is ambiguous (height/weight/build) and not universal.4) Intelligence varies individually; no spousal rule applies. Verification / Alternative check: Demographic data show distributions, not absolutes, for physical and cognitive traits. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Each proposes a universal comparative that is plainly false in many cases. Common Pitfalls: Assuming cultural norms (e.g., taller husband preference) create logical necessities—they do not. Final Answer: None of these

Question 14

Verification of truth – "A college always comprises ____." Identify the essential component.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: A college is an educational institution. The core function—teaching/learning—requires academic staff (teachers), even if infrastructure varies. Given Data / Assumptions: Instruction is essential to collegiate education. Physical artifacts (books, boards, buildings) can vary or be virtual. Concept / Approach: Choose the element necessary for instruction. Step-by-Step Solution: Eliminate non-essentials: building (online colleges), black-board (digital), books (digital resources). Teacher remains essential. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They are common but not logically required. Final Answer: Teacher

Question 15

Verification of truth – "Danger always comprises ____." Identify what is invariably present.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Danger denotes exposure to harm. Psychologically, fear is the natural response associated with perceived danger. Given Data / Assumptions: Danger ≠ necessarily an enemy or an attack; it can be environmental. Help is not intrinsic to danger. Concept / Approach: “Fear” captures the experiential aspect most tightly coupled to danger in exam convention. Step-by-Step Solution: Select “Fear” as the element commonly tied to danger as a human experience. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Enemy/attack are contingent, not necessary; help is external. Final Answer: Fear

Question 16

Verification of truth – "In every singing, it should have ____." Identify the necessary element.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: In exam usage, “singing” typically implies vocalization of lyrics; chorus/drum/musician are optional adornments. Given Data / Assumptions: Scat/humming exist, but the intended conventional answer is “words.” Concept / Approach: Pick the element most intrinsic to typical singing. Final Answer: Words

Question 17

Verification of truth – "A camera always comprises ____." Choose the essential part.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Cameras, analog or digital, require optics to form an image; reels, flash, and prints are optional/external. Final Answer: Lens

Question 18

Verification of truth – "A motorcycle always comprises ____." Identify the indispensable component.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: A motorcycle is a motorized two-wheeler; the motor (engine) is essential by definition. Mirrors, horns, and even specific brake types vary by regulation and design. Final Answer: Engine

Question 19

Verification of truth – "Atmosphere always has ____." Choose the best universal description.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: “Atmosphere” denotes the envelope of gases—i.e., air—around a body. Oxygen, moisture, and microbes vary; “air” (gaseous mixture) is definitional. Final Answer: Air

Question 20

Verification of truth – "Which of the following is always found in bravery?" Pick the necessary quality.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Bravery entails facing danger despite fear; courage is the essential ingredient. Experience, power, or knowledge may help but are not necessary. Final Answer: Courage
