Statement: Moving goods between Mumbai and Jafra by the new 300 km sea route, instead of the 1,000 km road route, will save Rs 10 crore a year in fuel. Conclusions: I. On the Mumbai-Jafra link, moving goods by sea will cost less in fuel than moving them by road. II. Sea transport is cheaper than road transport on every route. Which conclusion(s) follow?
  1. Only conclusion II follows
  2. Only conclusion I follows
  3. Neither I nor II follows
  4. Both I and II follow
  5. Either I or II follows
Show answerHide answer

Answer: B official key

Step 1: The statement says the sea route saves fuel money on this link, so I follows. Step 2: II generalises one route to every route, which the statement does not support. Step 3: Only I follows. Correct answer: B.

Statement: All organised persons find time for rest. Rutuja is an organised person with a very busy schedule. Conclusions: I. Rutuja finds time for rest. II. All persons who find time for rest are organised. Which conclusion(s) follow?

  2. Only conclusion II follows
  3. Either I or II follows
  4. Neither I nor II follows
  5. Both I and II follow
Show answerHide answer

Answer: A official key

Step 1: Rutuja is organised, and all organised persons find time for rest, so I follows. Step 2: II reverses the statement: 'all organised persons rest' does not mean 'all who rest are organised'. Step 3: Only I follows. Correct answer: A.

Read the information given below carefully and choose the best alternative
:
Statements: The old order changed yielding place to new.
Conclusions:
I. Change is the law of nature.
II. Discard old ideas because they are old.
  1. Only I follows
  2. Only II follows
  3. Either I or II follows
  4. Neither I nor II follows
  5. Both I and II follow
Show answerHide answer

Answer: A official key

Approach: Statement–conclusion: accept what follows directly; reject extreme or unsupported claims.

Solution:
Statement: the old order changed, making way for the new.
I: 'Change is the law of nature' — the statement is a classic expression of exactly this idea ⇒ follows.
II: 'Discard old ideas because they are old' — the statement says old was replaced, not that age alone is a reason to discard. Extreme ⇒ does not follow.

Why the other options are wrong:
B/E: II is an extreme prescription. C: I and II are not complementary. D: I clearly follows.

Answer: A

Q60EasyCET 2025 · Slot 6 · Q60
Statement I. Arun has four vehicles.
Statement II: Two of the vehicles are red.
Statement III: One of the vehicles is a minivan.
if the first three statements are facts which of the following statements must also be a fact.
I. Arun has a red minivan
II. Arun has 3 cars
III. Aruns favourite colour is red
  1. Only I
  2. Only II
  3. II and III
  4. III ONLY
  5. None of the statement is a known.
Show answerHide answer

Answer: E

Approach: Must-be-true check — a conclusion is valid only if the facts force it.

Solution: Facts: 4 vehicles, 2 are red, 1 is a minivan.
I. Red minivan — the minivan may or may not be one of the red ones → not certain.
II. 3 cars — the other vehicles could be bikes, trucks etc. → not certain.
III. Favourite colour red — nothing is said about preferences → not certain.
None of the three must be true.

Why the other options are wrong: A, B, C, D each claim at least one statement is certain, but every statement is only possible, not forced.

Cetking shortcut: 'Must be true' ≠ 'could be true' — if you can imagine one case where it fails, reject it.

Answer: E

Q74MediumCET 2025 · Slot 5 · Q74

A statement/ group of statements is given followed by some conclusions. Without resolving anything yourself, choose the conclusion which logically follows from the given statement.

Statement: Many business offices are located in buildings having two to eight floors. If a building has more than three floors, it has a lift.

Conclusions:
(a) All floors may be reached by lifts
(b) Only floors above the third floor have lifts
(c) Seventh floors have lifts.
(d) Second floors do not have lifts

  1. (a)
  2. (b)
  3. (c)
  4. (a) & (d)
  5. (c) & (d)
Show answerHide answer

Answer: C

Approach: Statement–Conclusion: accept only what must be true from the given facts.

Solution: Facts: buildings have 2 to 8 floors; any building with more than three floors has a lift.
(a) 'All floors may be reached by lifts' – a 2- or 3-floor building need not have a lift, so this does not follow.
(b) 'Only floors above the third have lifts' – a lift in a 5-floor building serves all its floors; not stated.
(c) 'Seventh floors have lifts' – a building with a 7th floor has more than three floors, so it must have a lift – follows.
(d) 'Second floors do not have lifts' – a second floor in an 8-floor building has a lift; does not follow.

Why the other options are wrong:
A, B – (a) and (b) go beyond the facts.
D, E – (d) is false for tall buildings.

Cetking shortcut: Pick the conclusion that needs only the 'more than three floors → lift' rule.

Answer: C

Q75EasyCET 2025 · Slot 5 · Q75

For given question, a statement is followed by two conclusions. Point out the correct conclusion:

(a) If only conclusion I is true
(b) If only conclusion II is true
(c) If both the conclusions are true
(d) If neither of the conclusions is true
(e) If either conclusion I or conclusion II is true

Statement: Douglas is my cousin. A cousin may be a sister's son, uncle's son or brother's son.

Conclusions:
I. Douglas is my sister's son.
II. Douglas is my uncle's son.

  1. (a)
  2. (b)
  3. (c)
  4. (d)
  5. (e)
Show answerHide answer

Answer: D

Approach: Statement–Conclusion: a 'may be' list of possibilities does not prove any one of them.

Solution: The statement says a cousin may be a sister's son, uncle's son or brother's son – several possibilities.
Conclusion I (sister's son) – only one possibility, not certain → does not follow.
Conclusion II (uncle's son) – also only one possibility → does not follow.
Since there are three possibilities, I and II do not cover all cases, so 'either I or II' also fails. Neither follows → option (d).

Why the other options are wrong:
(a), (b), (c) – neither conclusion is definite.
(e) – 'either–or' needs I and II to be the only two possibilities; a third (brother's son) exists.

Cetking shortcut: 'May be' + a list of 3 or more choices → usually 'neither follows'.

Answer: D
