Question 1 of 5
Statement: The population of City A is growing at a rate of 10% annually. Conclusions: I. City A will face housing shortages in the future. II. City A has a larger population than City B.
A
A. Only conclusion I follows
B
B. Only conclusion II follows
C
C. Either I or II follows
D
D. Neither I nor II follows
Why: The statement provides information only about the population growth rate of City A at 10% annually. It gives no data about housing availability, infrastructure capacity, or comparison with City B's population. Therefore, neither conclusion I (housing shortages) nor conclusion II (larger population than City B) logically follows from the given statement. The correct choice is D[2].
Question 2 of 5
Statement: The school is closed in May. Conclusions: I. Students are admitted to the school before June. II. The school remains open in June.
A
A. Only conclusion I follows
B
B. Only conclusion II follows
C
C. Either I or II follows
D
D. Neither I nor II follows
Why: The statement indicates the school is closed specifically in May but provides no information about admission timelines or the school's status in June. Conclusion I assumes admissions occur before June without evidence, and Conclusion II assumes the school is open in June, which is not stated. Thus, neither conclusion logically follows from the statement. Answer: D[2].
Question 3 of 5
Statement: The government has launched an initiative to plant 10 million trees across the country. Conclusions: I. The government is concerned about the environment. II. The initiative will completely solve the issue of deforestation.
A
A. Only conclusion I follows
B
B. Only conclusion II follows
C
C. Either I or II follows
D
D. Neither I nor II follows
Why: Launching a tree-planting initiative directly implies governmental concern for environmental issues like deforestation and climate change, so Conclusion I logically follows. However, planting 10 million trees does not guarantee complete resolution of deforestation, which involves multiple complex factors, so Conclusion II does not follow. Thus, only I follows. Answer: A[2].
Question 4 of 5
Statement: Gold prices are rising each day in the market. Conclusions: I. Nobody wears gold nowadays. II. It has become tougher to locate gold deposits.
A
A. Only conclusion I follows
B
B. Only conclusion II follows
C
C. Either I or II follows
D
D. Neither I nor II follows
Why: Rising gold prices indicate increased market demand or supply constraints but provide no information about consumer wearing habits (Conclusion I) or difficulties in locating gold deposits (Conclusion II). Both conclusions are assumptions not supported by the statement. Therefore, neither follows. Answer: D[5].
Question 5 of 5
Statement: Agrima took part in a State-level singing competition and won it. Conclusions: I. Agrima is the best singer in the country. II. Agrima can dance well.
A
A. Only conclusion I follows
B
B. Only conclusion II follows
C
C. Either I or II follows
D
D. Neither I nor II follows
Why: Winning a state-level competition demonstrates excellence at that level but does not establish Agrima as the national best (Conclusion I), nor does it provide any information about her dancing ability (Conclusion II). Neither conclusion logically follows from the statement. Answer: D[5].
