Statement: Last over of the match remains to be bowled but it is definite that Team A has lost to Team B as 29 runs cannot be made in five balls in any possible circumstance.

II. In the match being played between teams A and B, the maximum runs possible in one ball is definitely less than six.

Correct Answer: (4) Both I and II can be concluded

45. This question consists of a statement and arguments numbered I to IV. You have to pick from the given options the argument/s which is/are strong pertaining to the given statement.

Statement: Should the government increase subsidies provided to the farmers in order to bring about improvement in agriculture?
Argument (I): No, since subsidies are provided to only certain crops. It motivates farmers to grow only these crops without rotation for long period leading to increase in pest attack and diminished soil fertility.
Argument (II) : Yes, most of the developed countries which provide subsidy in agriculture have been leaders in the production of a certain number of crops.
Argument (III): No, the subsidy being provided to the farmers is already the eighth highest in the world.
Argument (IV) : Yes, as farming is a seasonal business it becomes difficult for the farmers to maintain a steady in-come without subsidies

Correct Answer: (1) Both I and IV are strong
Solution:Argument II is based on an example. We know that citing example is a bad argumentation. Therefore, we can eliminate options (2), (3), (4) and (5). Arguments I and IV seem to be strong.
