Statement & Conclusions

A statement is a group of words arranged to form a meaningful sentence. A

conclusion is a judgment or decision reached after consideration about the
given statement.

Different types of questions covered in this chapter are as follows.

One statement with Two Conclusion Based

More than Two Statements and Conclusion Based

A conclusion is an opinion or decision that is formed after a period of thought

e
or research on some facts or sentence stated by someone. A consequent effect
has always to be analysed before reaching to the final result or conclusion of a
given premise. This requires a very systematic and logical approach.

Example:

m
Statement: Some people say that good thought comes to their mind in the
morning.
ro
Conclusion: Thoughts come in mind, in the morning only.

Now, consider the statement, the word ‘some’ used in the statement does not
mean ‘all’. It means some people say not all. Hence, according to some people,
good thoughts come in their mind in the morning but thought can come any
ch

time in the mind of other people, so, the conclusion that ‘thoughts’ come in
mind, in the morning only is not valid. Also, the word used ‘only’ makes the
conclusion totally invalid because its restricts that the thought can come only in
the morning.

To reach to a conclusion think only about the information given in the

jk

statement. There is no need to use, assume anything else or add any further or
extra information from outside but the established facts cannot be denied like
the Sun always rises in the East, a day consists of 24 h etc.

Memory Add-ons

If the statement is formed with two or more sentences, then there should
be no mutual contradiction in a sentence.
Statements and conclusion should not go against established facts and
prevailing notions of truth.
 If definitive words like all, always, at least, only, exactly and so on are
used, then such words make the conclusion invalid or ambiguous.
Always read very carefully and try to find keywords as they play an
important role in analysing valid and invalid conclusions.
If the conclusion is provided with a stated example, then the conclusion is
invalid.

These are several types of questions that are asked form this section in
different exams. So, here we have classified the problems in two types
which are explained below.

Type 1: One Statement with two Conclusions Based.

e
In this types of questions, a statement is given followed by two conclusions.
the candidate is required to find out which of conclusion follows the given
statement and select the correct option accordingly. Following examples will

m
give a better understanding of the type of questions asked.

Directions ( 1 – 2): In each of the following questions, a statement is

followed by two Conclusions I and II.
ro
Give answer

(a) if only Conclusion I follows

(b) if only Conclusion II follows

ch

(c) if either I or II follows

(d) if neither I nor II follows

Ex 1: Statement: Parents are prepared to pay any price for an elite education
to their children.
jk

Conclusion

I. All parents these days are very well off.

II. Parents have an obsessive passion for the perfect development of their
children through good schooling.

Solution: (b)

It may be a conclusion from the statement that since parents want a perfect
development of their children through good schooling, therefore, they are
prepared to pay any price for a good education but the statement does not give
a sense of the parents being very well off. Hence, only Conclusion II follows.

Ex 2 : Statement: Interview panel may select a student who is neither

possessing the abilities of desired level nor any value and assumption.

Conclusions

I. The inclusion of experts in interview panel does not ensure that the selection
will be made properly.

II. Interview procedure of admission has some limitations.

Solution:

e
The statement clearly means that inclusion of experts does not ensure proper
selection. It also indicates the limitation of interview procedure for admission.
Here, both the conclusions follow.

m
Type 2: More Than Two Statements and Conclusion Based

In this type of questions, a statement/statements I / are given followed by

ro
some conclusion. Choose the conclusion which follows the given statement.

Directions (1 - 2): Which of the conclusion can be drawn from the statement?

Ex 1: Statement: Many business offices located in buildings having two to

eight floors. If a building has more than three floors, it has a lift.
ch

Conclusions:

(a) All floors may be reached by lifts

(b) Only floors above the third floor have lifts

jk

(c) The fifth floor has lifts

(d) Second floors do not have lifts

Solution: (c)

It is clear from the given statement.

Ex 2: Statements

Karan Johar is a good director.

Directors are intelligent.

Conclusions:

(a) All intelligent are directors

(b) Karan Johar is intelligent

(c) Both (a) and (b)

(d) None of these

Solution: (b)

e
As directions are intelligent and Karan Johar is a good director, so Karan Johar
is intelligent.
