Consider the following statements about numbers.
A. There exists a smallest natural number.
B. There exists a largest natural number.
C. Every rational number is also a real number.
D. Between two consecutive natural numbers, there is always a natural number.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Only statements A and C are correct i.e. Option D.
The following question consists of a statement followed by conclusions I, II and III.
Statement: Some hills are rivers. Some rivers are deserts. All deserts are roads.
Conclusions: I. Some roads are rivers.
II. Some roads are hills.
III. Some deserts are hills.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
As we can see that only Conclusion 1 follows, the answer will be Option A.
The following question consists of a statement followed by two arguments I and II.
Statement: Should there be a complete ban on use of all types of chemical pesticides in India?
Arguments: I. Yes, chemical pesticides used in agriculture pollute the underground water and thus they become a serious health hazard.
II.No, the pests will destroy all the crops and farmers will have nothing to harvest.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
The correct answer is D) Both Argument I and II are strong.
Argument I is strong because it addresses a significant, evidence-based environmental and public health concern regarding groundwater contamination.
Argument II is strong because it highlights the immediate, practical economic threat to food security and farmer livelihoods, as a total ban without alternatives would lead to massive crop failure.
In critical reasoning, both arguments are considered "strong" because they provide valid, logical reasons for and against the statement from different but equally important perspectives (health vs. survival).
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: A simple sentence is one which has only one subject and one predicate.
Statement II: A simple sentence is one which has only one finite verb.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the option give below:
A simple sentence is, by definition, a sentence that has one subject and one predicate. Example- The cat (subject) sat on the mat (predicate). Hence, statement one is correct.
A simple sentence also has only one finite verb. Like in ‘the cat sat on the mat’, sat is the only verb. Whereas, in a complex sentence “The cat sits on the mat when she feels bored,” there are two verbs- sit and feel. Hence, sentence two is also correct.
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The writ "Quo Warranto" may be sought to clarify in public interest the legal position in regard to the claim of a person to hold a public office.
Statement II: The writ "Mandamus" is issued by a higher court to a lower court or tribunal, intending to prohibit it from exceeding its jurisdiction.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: When the magma from the interior of earth comes out on the surface, tremendous heat is released, which can be successfully tapped and converted into bio-energy.
Statement II: Bio-energy is also derived from agricultural residue, municipal, industrial, and other waste and garbage.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Venture capital funds should always specialize narrowly in a single sector to maximise returns.
Statement II: Diversification across industries and stages helps venture capitalists to manage portfolio risk, while maintaining strategic focus.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
To maximise returns, diversification is recommended, as it balances risk and exposure, whereas specialising in a narrow sector can increase risk and reduce returns.
So statement 1 is incorrect.
Diversification across industries and stages helps manage risk and returns, which is correct.
