CAT 1999 Question Paper

Option A: Traffic congestion and increase in carbon monoxide are hazardous to health. But, we cannot infer that one is a result of other. Hence, option A is wrong.

Option B: Option B is wrong because the traffic congestion that does not cause increased carbon monoxide might cause some thing else that is hazardous to health.

Option C: C and D are not related. So, we cannot infer E.

Option D: Increase in Carbon monoxide is hazardous to health and traffic congestion increases Carbon monoxide. So, we can say that traffic congestion is hazardous to health.

Option A: All sweets are tasty and no apple is tasty

=> Apples and sweets are disjoint sets.

=> A can be inferred.

Hence, CEA is the correct order.

Option A: We do not know if town Meghana is in India. So, we cannot infer the statement E. Hence, option A is wrong.

Option B: All polluted towns must be destroyed and some towns in India are polluted => Some towns in India must be destroyed. Option B is correct.

Option A: No patriot is a criminal and Bundledas is a Patriot => Bundledas is not a Criminal.

Option A is correct as we can infer B from A and C.

Option A: DCA

A cannot be inferred from D and C.

Option B: ADC

Ant eaters like ants and Balaram likes ants. From this, we cannot say that Balaram is an anteater.

But, from A and C, we can infer D.

Hence, ACD is the answer => Option D.

Option a) is incorrect. Ram need not necessarily be a popular actor.

Option b) is also incorrect. The first two statements talk about actors whereas the third statement talks about people. So, it cannot be deduced.

Option c) is also incorrect. The first two statements talk about Ram whereas the third statement talks about all actors. So, it cannot be deduced.

Option d) is the correct answer. The third statement can be deduced from the first two statements.

The statements can be understood by the Venn Diagram below.

Modern industry is technology driven ( Modern industry is a subset of technology driven)

BTI is a modern industry ( BTI is a subset of modern industry)

Hence, BTI is technology driven (BTI is a subset of technology driven.)

Since this holds, the statements are implied.

The relationship between Golmal Islanders, Blue colored people and some smart people is as shown in the diagram below.

Since some smart people and golmal islanders are non-intersecting sets,option B holds true.

The sentence Ram and Sita are in great demand is a conclusion that can be drawn from Ram and Sita are MBAs and MBAs are in great demand.

The sentence can be written as follows:

Orangutan is angry => He frowns upon the world.

Orangutan doesn't frown upon the world => He is not angry.

So, CB and DA follow.
