Direction (41-45) :
41. (a); Clearly, none of the arguments provides a substantial reason either for or against the given statements. So, none
of the arguments holds strong.
42. (b); Clearly, television offers various educational programmes which are of great practical value to the students. So,
it serves as a means (but it is not the only means) to educate the masses. Thus, I holds strong while IV does not.
Besides, the demerits of watching television, mentioned in II and III, may be done away with by allowing children to
watch selected programmes on television, according to a set schedule. So, neither II nor III holds strong.
43. (d); Clearly, a policy to select deserving candidates cannot be abolished just because of the expenditure it entails. So,
argument I does not hold. Also, students who are intelligent enough to secure good marks in academic exams have
no reason not to perform well in entrance tests. So, II also does not hold. Further, the students passed out from
different universities are assessed on different patterns and hence a common entrance test would put the
candidates to uniform test and assessment. So, only III holds strong.
44. (c); Clearly, privatization leads to betterment in a bid to win over the others in the field and earn both good
reputation and money. So, argument I holds strong. Besides, privatization cannot be opted for just because it is the
present trend. Also, privatization would, in no way, deteriorate the educational standards. So, neither II nor III holds.
45. (c); The use of only in I makes it invalid. Also, it is the duty of the government to save its citizens from intake of any
harmful products, even if they like them. So, II does not hold strong. Besides, a product must not be banned unless
its harmful effects have been proved. So, III holds strong. Lastly, we cannot blindly follow the decisions taken by
other countries, So, IV also does not hold.
Directions (46-50) :
46. (b); According to the statement, sea transport is cheaper than road transport in the case of Bombay to Jafra, not in
all the cases. So, conclusion I does not follow. The statement stresses on the saving of fuel. So, conclusion II follows.
47. (a); Clearly, I follows directly from the given statement. However, II is not related to the given statement and so does
not follow.
48. (c); The statement mentions that demand for oil is increasing faster than the production. So, either the demand.
Thus, either I or II follows.
49. (d); According to the statement, 80% of the total runs were made by spinners. So, I does not follow. Nothing about
the opening batsman is mentioned in the statement. So, II also does not follow.
50. (b); The phrase only book in the statement makes II implicit. However, nothing about the state of poverty before
1950 can be deduced from the given statement.
