Each of these questions has a statement followed by two conclusions numbered as I and II. Consider the statement and the following conclusions. Decide which of the conclusions follows from the statement. Mark answer as

Question 121

Statement :
There is mounting concern that water will be a flash point for political, social and economic turmoil.
Conclusions:
I. Water faces an endemic global shortage.
II. The scarcity of water will have serious repercussions on our lives.

Video Solution

Solution

Since water is said to be a flash point for every sphere, it is clear that there is currently a decrease in its quantity, which will have serious repercussions on our lives. Otherwise, there can be no reason for it to play such a role as a flash point in all the spheres.

Hence, both conclusions are valid.

Question 122

Statement : Cardiac myopathy is marked by an increase in the size of heart and decrease in the efficiency of pumping.
Conclusions :
I. The bigger the size of heart the better it works.
II. The efficiency of the heart is inversely proportional to the size of the heart.

Video Solution

Solution

The statement talks about the two effects of cardiac myopathy on hearts: An increase in size and a decrease in efficiency.

However, we cannot state the size of the heart is inversely proportional to the efficiency. It might be the case that this is a coincidental effect of cardiac myopathy, which is not the same in general conditions. Hence, the second conclusion is invalid.

The first option is again vague and slightly against the main premise, as there is nothing that speaks about the enhanced efficiency of a bigger heart.

Question 123

Statement: Some religious gurus preach austerity to poor while living in luxury and driving Mercedes.
Conclusions:
I. Some of the frauds have donned the garb of religious god men.
II. There is a world of difference between preaching and practising.

Video Solution

Solution

Since the main premise shows how the religious gurus preach something while not practicing the same, the second conclusion shall hold true in this regard.

The first conclusion, however, is out of scope as it deals with fraudulent acts that is not covered under the main premise.

Question 124

Statement : Every natural remedy is not necessarily harmless and should be used with caution.
Conclusions:
I. The natural remedies are not scientifically proven.
II. Everything natural has no side effect.

Video Solution

Solution

The main premise asks us to be careful while using natural remedies since not all of them are harmless.

The first conclusion is incorrect since we don't have any information with respect to the scientific testing of natural remedies.

The second conclusion is incorrect again, since it directly goes against the main premise.

Question 125

Statement : Summer heralds, the arrival of mosquito borne diseases such as malaria, dengue and chickunguniya.
Conclusions :
I. Mosquito bites are harmless during winter, autumn and spring season.
II. Mosquitoes breed rapidly during summers.

Video Solution

Solution

The statement merely talks about summer being a hotspot for mosquito borne diseases. There is no information about the bites being harmless in other seasons or the season allowing mosquitoes to breed rapidly. There might be other factors influencing the same.
