Statements: The manager humiliated Jake in the presence of his colleagues.

 

Conclusions:

 

1. The manager did not like Jake.

2. Jake was not popular with his colleagues.


A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Either I or II follows
D. Neither I nor II follows
E. Both I and II follow

Answer & Explanation:

Answer: Option D

A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Either I or II follows
D. Neither I nor II follows

Statements: In a highly centralised power structure, in which even senior cabinet ministers are prepared to reduce themselves to pathetic countries or yesmen airing views that are primarily intended to anticipate or reflect the Prime Minister's own performances, there can be no place for any consensus that is quite different from real or contrived unanimity of opinion, expressed through a well orchestrated endorsement of the leader's actions.

 

Conclusions:

 

1. The Ministers play safe by not giving anti-government views.

2. The Prime Minister does not encourage his colleagues to render their own views.


A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Either I or II follows
D. Neither I nor II follows
E. Both I and II follow

Answer & Explanation:

Answer: Option A

Explanation: According to the statement, even senior cabinet ministers are always ready to conform to the Prime Minister's views. So, I follows. However, II contradicts the given statement and so does not follow.

Statements: National Aluminium Company has moved Georgia from a position of shortage to self-sufficiency in the metal.

 

Conclusions:

 

1. Previously, Georgia had to import aluminium.

2. With this speed, it can soon become a foreign exchange earner.


A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Either I or II follows
D. Neither I nor II follows
E. Both I and II follow

Answer & Explanation:

Answer: Option E

Explanation: According to the statement, National Aluminium Company has moved Georgia from a position of shortage in the past to self-sufficiency in the present. This means that previously, Georgia had to import aluminium. So, I follows. Also, it can be deduced that if production increases at the same rate, Georgia can export it in future. So, II also follows.
