Solution
Only in option (4) does the conclusion follow logically.
If all XYZ can run, and all ABC are XYZ, then every ABC can run.
In (1), (2), and (3) the conclusion is the wrong direction (they assert converses).
In the following questions, select one alternative in which the third

Solution
Only in option (2) does the conclusion follow.
If all oranges are black and all figs are oranges, then all figs are black.
Options (1), (3), and (4) again draw wrong-direction conclusions.
Statements:
i) Price rise is a natural phenomenon
ii) If production increases prices fall
iii) High prices affect the poor
Conclusion: If production rises the poor feel relieved.

Solution
To satisfy the conclusion:
$ \text{Production ↑} \Rightarrow \text{Prices ↓} \Rightarrow \text{Poor relieved} $
Statement ii gives:
$ \text{Production ↑} \Rightarrow \text{Prices ↓} $
Statement iii gives:
$ \text{High prices hurt poor} \Rightarrow \text{Low prices relieve poor} $
Thus statements ii and iii together support the conclusion.
Cars are safer than planes. Fifty percent of plane accidents result in death, while only one percent of car accidents result in death. Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument above?
1
2
3
4
Solution
The argument claims cars are safer because the death rate per accident is lower.
To weaken it, we must show that comparing percentages alone is misleading.
Option (2) shows that even though the percentage of fatal plane accidents is high, the total number of car accidents is so huge that many more people may die in cars overall.
This directly weakens the argument by showing the comparison is unfair.

Fact 1 : Most stuffed toys are stuffed with beans.
Fact 2 : There are stuffed bears and stuffed tigers.
Fact 3 : Some chairs are stuffed with beans.
If the above statements are fact, which of the following statements must also be fact?
- Only children's chairs are stuffed with beans.
- All stuffed tigers are stuffed with beans.
- Stuffed monkeys are not stuffed with beans.
1

4
Solution
Statement 1 –
❌ Fact 3 says some chairs are stuffed with beans, but never specifies only children's chairs.
Statement 2 –
❌ Fact 1 says most (not all) stuffed toys have beans, so we can't say all stuffed tigers do.
Statement 3 –
❌ Fact 1 says most stuffed toys are stuffed with beans, so stuffed monkeys likely are — not aren't.
∴ Answer = (d)
The Bulls, Pacers, Lakers and Jazz ran for a contest.
Statements:

Solution
Test possible winners:
If Jazz wins → Anup true, Sujit true → two correct ❌
If Bulls wins → Anup true, John false, Sujit false → only Anup correct ❌ (but Bulls contradicts Sujit)
If Lakers wins → Sujit true, John false, Anup false → only Sujit correct ✔
If Pacers wins → Sujit true, John true → two correct ❌
Average Cost (AC) is defined as the sum of Average Fixed Cost (AFC) and Average Variable Cost
(AVC), and dumping is defined as selling a product at a price less than AC but more than AVC. A
company in India, suddenly, found that the demand for its product "ZOOM" has fallen to 60% of the
output produced in that financial year. As a result, the company must sell 40% of the produced
output in a foreign market. If it decides to "dump" 40% of its output in a neighbouring country (by
reducing the price by 20%), what would be the objective of its 'dumping strategy', among the
following? (The company has set a profit margin of 10% of AC while fixing the price of its product
for sale in India).
(a) To minimize losses,
(b) to maximize profits,
(c) to contribute to the recovery of fixed costs,
(d) to contribute to the recovery of variable costs
(a) To minimize losses,
(b) to maximize profits,
(c) to contribute to the recovery of fixed costs,
(d) to contribute to the recovery of variable costs

Solution
Selling at a “dumping” price means the product is sold below AC but above AVC.
-
So, the firm covers all variable costs and earns something to help recover fixed costs.
-
This doesn’t maximize profit, it just minimizes loss and helps recover fixed costs.
Therefore, both
(a) To minimize losses and
(c) To contribute to the recovery of fixed costs
are correct.
