Statement & Conclusion (SSC CHSL 2023 Tier -2 )

1. A statement is followed by two courses of action, numbered I and II. You must assume everything in the statement to be true and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which of the following course(s) of action logically follow(s) for pursuing. [SSC CHSL Tier II 10/01/2024]

Statement: Voltage fluctuation in A's home has damaged many of his new electrical appliances.

Courses of action:

I)A should consult an electrician and install a device to safeguard appliances against fluctuations in voltage.

II) A must replace all the appliances.

(a) Both I and II follow
(b) Only II follows
(c) Only I follows
(d) Neither I nor II follows

Correct Answer: (c) Only I follows

Solution:(c) Many of A's new electrical appliances have been damaged due to voltage fluctuations in his house. Therefore A should consult an electrician and install a device to protect the electrical equipment from voltage fluctuations so that all the equipment can function properly in future. But simply replacing damaged equipment is not a permanent solution. Hence only the course of action (I) follows.

2. Read the given statement and inferences carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given inferences can be derived from the statement. [SSC CHSL Tier II 10/01/2024]

Statement: All mammals are warm-blooded animals.

Inferences:

I. Dogs are warm-blooded animals.

II. All warm-blooded creatures are mammals.

(a) Neither (I) nor (II)
(b) Only (II)
(c) Both (I) and (II)
(d) Only (I)

Correct Answer: (d) Only (I)

Solution:(d) Since a dog is a mammalian animal, according to the given statement, the dog's blood will be warm and it is not said in the statement that all the animals whose blood is warm are mammals. Hence only assumption (I) is correct.

3. In this question, a statement is followed by two inferences numbered I and II. Based on the statement, you have to decide which of the inferences can be derived from the statement. (An inference is something which is not directly stated but can be derived from the given facts/information in the statement) [SSC CHSL Tier II 02/11/2023]

Statement: The eligibility for admission to the course is a minimum of 80% marks in the 10th standard board exams. However, students who have appeared for the 10th standard board exams this year can also apply.

Inference:

I. No 11th standard students can apply for the course.

II. Students who have appeared for 10th standard exams will get admission only if they score 80% or more in their exam.

(a) Neither (I) nor (II) can be inferred.
(b) Only (II) can be inferred.
(c) Both (I) and (II) can be inferred.
(d) Only (I) can be inferred.

Correct Answer: (b) Only (II) can be inferred.

Solution:(b) Conclusion (I) is incorrect because it is not clear that they scored 80% or more in 10th standard. Conclusion (II) is correct because it fulfills all conditions.

4. Read the following information and answer the question that follows. Suresh has started practicing critical reasoning after hearing about Ramesh's incredible result in the competitive exam. [SSC CHSL Tier II 02/11/2023]

Which of the following can be inferred from the given statement? (An inference is something which is not directly stated but can be derived from the given facts/information in the statement)

I. Ramesh has scored most of marks in critical reasoning.

II. Most of the questions in exam constitute of critical reasoning questions.

(a) Neither (I) nor (II) can be inferred
(b) Only (II) can be inferred
(c) Both (I) and (II) can be inferred
(d) Only (I) can be inferred

Correct Answer: (c) Both (I) and (II) can be inferred

Solution:(c) Since Ramesh is good in critical reasoning and also he has scored good marks in the examination. Therefore, we can say that he scored most of the marks in critical reasoning and also maximum questions in the exam were of critical reasoning. Hence we can infer that both conclusions are correct.
