Reasoning Quiz for Indian Bank PO Mains: 31st October 2018 |

Dear Aspirants,

Reasoning Ability is an onerous section. With the increasing complexity of questions, it becomes hard for one to give it the cold shoulder. The only way to make the grade in this particular section in the forthcoming banking exams like Indian Bank PO Mains is to practice continuously with all your heart and soul. And, to let you practice with the best of the latest pattern questions, here is the Adda247 Reasoning Quiz based on the exact same pattern of questions that are being asked in the exams.

Directions (1-5): In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.
Give answer :

Q1. Statement : Until our country achieves economic equality, political freedom and democracy would be meaningless.
Conclusions :
I. Political freedom and democracy go hand in hand.
II. Economic equality leads to real political freedom and democracy.

if only conclusion I follows

if only conclusion II follows

If either I or II follows

if neither I nor II follows and

if both I and II follow

Solution:

Nothing about the relation between political freedom and democracy is mentioned in the statement. So, I does not follow. But II directly follows from the given statement.

Q2. Statement : “The Government will review the present policy of the diesel price in view of further spurt in the international oil prices”. – A spokesman of the Government.
Conclusions :
I. The Government will increase the price of the diesel after the imminent spurt in the international oil prices.
II. The Government will not increase the price of the diesel even after the imminent spurt in the international oil prices.

if only conclusion I follows

if only conclusion II follows

If either I or II follows

if neither I nor II follows and

if both I and II follow

Solution:

The Government seeks to review the policy so as to determine whether the diesel price needs to be increased or it can be kept stable by adjusting certain other factors. So, either decision may be taken. Thus, either I or II follows.

Q3. Statement : The T.V. staff deserves an applaud for showing booth capture.
Conclusions :
I. T.V. aims at showing things in their true perspective.
II. People involved in booth capturing have been recognized and are being tried by law.

if only conclusion I follows

if only conclusion II follows

If either I or II follows

if neither I nor II follows and

if both I and II follow

Solution:

Clearly, I directly follows from the statement. However, II is not directly related to the given statement and so does not follow.

Q4. Statement : The national norm is 100 beds per thousand population but in this state, 150 beds per thousand are available in the hospitals.
Conclusions :
I. Our national norm is appropriate.
II. The state’s health system is taking adequate care in this regard.

if only conclusion I follows

if only conclusion II follows

If either I or II follows

if neither I nor II follows and

if both I and II follow

Solution:

Whether the national norm is appropriate or not cannot be said. So, I does not follows. However, more number of beds per thousand population are available in the state. So, II follows.

Q5. Statement : Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
Conclusions :
I. Fashion designers do not understand the public mind very well.
II. The public by and large is highly susceptible to novelty.

if only conclusion I follows

if only conclusion II follows

If either I or II follows

if neither I nor II follows and

if both I and II follow

Solution:

The statement asserts that people cannot stand any particular trend for long and seek change quite often. So, only II follows.
