Pranjal Kapoor answered
Some pens are books. All schools are books.
Since the middle term 'books' is not distributed even once in the premises, so no definite conclusion follows.
Some colleges are schools. All schools are books.
Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term.
So, it follows that 'Some colleges are books'. Thus, III follows.
Some pens are books. Some colleges are books.
Since both the premises are particular, no definite conclusion can be drawn.
Hence, only III follows.

A piece of work can be done by 6 men and 5 women in 6 days or 3 men and 4 women in 10 days. It can be done by 9 men and 15 women in how many days ?
  • a)
    3 days
               
  • b)
    4 days
  • c)
    5 days
              
  • d)
    6 days
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

To calculate the answer we need to get 1 man per day work and 1 woman per day work.
Let 1 man 1 day work =x
and 1 woman 1 days work = y. 
=> 6x+5y = 1/6 
and 3x+4y = 1/10 
On solving, we get x = 1/54 and y = 1/90 
(9 men + 15 women)'s 1 days work = 
(9/54) + (15/90) = 1/3 
9 men and 15 women will finish the work in 3 days

In each of the questions below are given four statements followed by for conclusions numbered I, II, III and IV.

(ii) No upload is a mail.
  • a)
    If only conclusion I follows;
  • b)
    If only conclusion II follows;
  • c)
    If either I or II follows;
  • d)
    If neither I nor II follows; and
  • e)
    If both I and II follow
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Prerna Sen answered
From the given statements, we can infer that:
  • Some chats are mails (from the first statement)
  • All uploads are chats (from the second statement)
Using these two statements, we can conclude that:
  • Some uploads are mails (since all uploads are chats, and some chats are mails)
Therefore, conclusion I that all mails being uploads is a possibility, logically follows from the given statements.
However, conclusion II that no upload is a mail does not logically follow from the given statements, as we have just shown that some uploads are mails.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: If only conclusion I follows.

Principle: Whoever stores a substance that could potentially cause damage on escape shall be absolutely liable for any damage caused by the escape of such substance from its premises. The person will be liable for the tort of negligence. 
Facts: Prerna and Anurag decide to buy a mini- chemical capsule for their scientific experiments. The minuscule capsule has great potentiality for damage if broken, and hence Prerna and Anurag take complete precautions against that. However, one day the capsule breaks due to an earthquake. Their neighbour, Bajaj, rushes into their premises to check what caused the loud sound that accompanied the breakage of the object. Prerna and Anurag ensure that the damage is contained within the premises of the room. However, their neighbour, Bajaj, sues them for the damage caused to him due to contact with the toxic object.
  • a)
    Bajaj was responsible for entering their premises and cannot sue Prerna or Anurag for his stupidity.
  • b)
    The object did not escape the premises, and hence Prerna and Anurag would not be liable.
  • c)
    The act of keeping a dangerous object would in itself make Prerna and Anurag absolutely liable.
  • d)
    None of the above.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Radhika Koli answered
According to the principal the person would be liable for the damage caused by a dangerous substance owned by him/her if it was because of their own negligence. But as stated In the question , Damage was caused because of the Act of God i.e Earthquake. Act of God is something which is beyond human control.
Therefore, Prerna and Anurag would not be liable since the damage caused was not because of their negligence but Act of God.
I hope this clears your doubt .

Each of the questions below contains a number of sentences. Each sentence has pairs of word(s)/phrase(s) that are highlighted. From the highlighted word(s)/phrase(s), select the most appropriate word(s)/phrase(s) to form correct sentences. Then, from the options given, choose the best one.
The cricket council that was[A]/were[B] elected last March is[A]/are[B] at sixes and sevens over new rules. The critics censored[A]/censured[B] the new movie because of its social inaccessibility.

  • a)
    BBAAA
  • b)
    AAABA
  • c)
    BBBBA
  • d)
    AABBA
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev GMAT answered
Answer: Option D
The first sentence is the easiest to decide. Since the ‘cricket council’ is singular, singular verbs (was and is) are required. Hence, the answer choice should begin with A. This eliminates options 1, 3, and 5.
Comparing options 2 and 4, the difference is in the third choice – censored versus censured. Censored means examined in order to delete anything that is objectionable. Censured means criticised. Critics would criticise or censure a movie because of its social inaccessibility - hence, B. This eliminates option 2.
Credulous means ready to believe easily and credible means offering reasonable grounds for being believed. Hence, Amit’s explanation is credible – B.
Discrete means distinct; discreet means modest, unnoticeable.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Palak Yadav answered
Incorrect Usage of "File"

Sentence Explanation:
- In sentence (a), "file" is used correctly as a verb meaning to submit a formal document.
- In sentence (b), "file" is used correctly as a noun referring to a line of people or things.
- In sentence (c), "file" is used correctly as a verb meaning to shape or smooth something using a file.
- In sentence (d), the word "file" is incorrectly used. In this context, "file" should be replaced with "rank" as it refers to a military formation, not a line of people or things.
Therefore, option 'D' is the correct answer as it contains the incorrect usage of the word "file."

  • b)
    II and III follows
  • c)
    Only I follows
  • d)
    Only II follows
  • e)
    Only III follows
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Samaira nayar answered
Understanding the Statements
The provided statements can be analyzed in detail to draw conclusions logically.
  • Some lenses are poles: This means there is at least one lens that is also a pole.
  • All poles are skies: Every pole is included in the category of skies.
  • Some skies are boxes: There exists at least one sky that is also a box.
  • No box is a bottle: Boxes and bottles do not overlap; they are entirely separate categories.

Analyzing the Conclusions
Now we will evaluate each conclusion based on the statements provided.
  • Conclusion I: Some bottles are lenses
    • This does not logically follow as there is no connection established between bottles and lenses in the statements.

  • Conclusion II: Some boxes are poles
    • This conclusion is incorrect because while some boxes are skies, and all poles are skies, it does not imply that any boxes are poles.

  • Conclusion III: No bottle is a lens
    • This conclusion logically follows. Since no box is a bottle and some lenses are associated with poles (which are part of skies), it can be inferred that bottles do not intersect with lenses.


Final Assessment
Based on the analysis:
- Conclusion I does not follow.
- Conclusion II does not follow.
- Conclusion III logically follows.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'E' as only conclusion III is valid.

  • b)
    aspects; inhibitions
  • c)
    institutions; inhibitions
  • d)
    organs; tradition
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Wizius Careers answered
Answer: Option A
The first blank can have ‘institutions’, ‘departments’, ‘organs’ or ‘tenets’. ‘Aspects’, compared to other options can be eliminated.
The second blank has the key to the answer. The phrase ‘suited by’ can be best followed by ‘fixated’, to make the sense complete- minds which were suited by ‘fixation’ or a preoccupation with one subject, issue, an obsession “to an earlier kind of world”. Also, ‘fixation’ flows perfectly with the idea of ‘an earlier kind of world’.

As per principle (i), malicious prosecution has 3 essential elements: (1) intentionally (and maliciously) instituting and pursuing (or causing to be instituted or pursued) a legal action (civil or criminal) (2) brought without probable cause and (3) dismissed in favour of the victim of the malicious prosecution. Since all three of these were present in the instant case, thus, a case of malicious prosecution is indeed indicated.
