Q.8  The Cricket Board has long recognized J ohn’s potential as a leader of the team. However, 
his on-field temper has always been a matter of concern for them since his junior days. 
While this aggression has filled stadia with die-hard fans, it has taken a toll on his own 
batting. Until recently, it appeared that he found it difficult to convert his aggression into 
big scores. Over the past three seasons though, that picture of John has been replaced by a 
cerebral, calculative and successful batsman-captain. After many years, it appears that the 
team has finally found a complete captain. 
 
Which of the following statements can be logically inferred from the above paragraph? 
(i) Even as a junior cricketer, John was considered a good captain.

Q.10  A coastal region with unparalleled beauty is home to many species of animals. It is dotted 
with coral reefs and unspoilt white sandy beaches. It has remained inaccessible to tourists 
due to poor connectivity and lack of accommodation. A company has spotted the 
opportunity and is planning to develop a luxury resort with helicopter service to the nearest 
major city airport. Environmentalists are upset that this would lead to the region becoming 
crowded and polluted like any other major beach resorts. 
 
Which one of the following statements can be logically inferred from the information given 
in the above paragraph? 
 
(A) The culture and tradition of the local people will be influenced by the tourists. 
(B) The region will become crowded and polluted due to tourism. 
(C) The coral reefs are on the decline and could soon vanish. 
(D) Helicopter connectivity would lead to an increase in tourists coming to the region.

Q.10  A coastal region with unparalleled beauty is home to many species of animals. It is dotted 
with coral reefs and unspoilt white sandy beaches. It has remained inaccessible to tourists 
due to poor connectivity and lack of accommodation. A company has spotted the 
opportunity and is planning to develop a luxury resort with helicopter service to the nearest 
major city airport. Environmentalists are upset that this would lead to the region becoming 
crowded and polluted like any other major beach resorts. 
 
Which one of the following statements can be logically inferred from the information given 
in the above paragraph? 
 
(A) The culture and tradition of the local people will be influenced by the tourists. 
(B) The region will become crowded and polluted due to tourism. 
(C) The coral reefs are on the decline and could soon vanish. 
(D) Helicopter connectivity would lead to an increase in tourists coming to the region.
