Reasoning Mock Test - 14 - CLAT MCQ

The correct answer is option d, i.e. None is strong.
We first make sure to read the statement carefully and then see what immediate inferences can be drawn based on our first reading. The next step is to look at the arguments given in the options, analyze them, and see if they seem relevant with respect to the information/data provided to us. Finally, it is very important to study the question closely.
Following the aforementioned steps, we must analyze the given statement and the corresponding question closely.
Argument (I) captures the essence of the failure of the policies but does not provide an answer to the question stated. It states people stood in queues outside the banks, whereas in the question we are asking the reason for the lack of bank branches’. As it is not relevant with the question asked, it can be rejected.
Argument (II) states the fact about ‘key slice of India’s electorate’ which is nowhere mentioned or can be derived from the given statement. Thus, it can be rejected.
Argument (III) is also inappropriate as it is the opposite of the question asked. In the question we are focused on the reason for the shortage of bank branches and services, it states that the accounts are inactive and many of the branches have not been used since a long time. Thus, diverting the question asked, it can also be rejected as an answer choice.
Thus, the correct answer is option 1.

The correct answer is option a, i.e. All except III and II are strong, i.e. only I is strong.
We first make sure to read the statement carefully and then see what immediate inferences can be drawn based on our first reading. The next step is to look at the arguments given in the options, analyze them, and see if they seem relevant with respect to the information/data provided to us. Finally, it is very important to study the question closely.
The above statement deals with the fact that the world’s largest beer maker Heineken NV is looking for a new Chairman.
Argument (II) can be rejected as it explicitly states the fact that India barred willful defaulters from holding key positions last year, then why such a step is being taken at this point of time. It is thus, not relevant and can be rejected.
Argument (III) can be eliminated as the answer choice as it states the fact that the company is functioning well and is in good shape. It is somewhat vague and moreover, not directed in the same sense as the given statement.
The issue is with the new Chairman. Argument (I) is the most appropriate assumption based on the facts stated. It sheds light on the fact that since, Heineken is looking for a new Chairman and is breaking all links with Vijay Mallya, and as a result has stopped sharing confidential information, a move indicating the action of searching or looking for a new Chairman.
Thus, option d captures the correct arguments that support the statement in the best possible manner and is our answer choice. Hence, the rest of the options can be rejected.

The correct answer is option d, i.e. None can be deduced.
From the question, we must understand the meaning of the word, ‘corollary’. A ‘corollary’ is a proposition that follows from (and is often appended to) one already proved. Thus, we must look for the option choice that logically follows the information given.
Following the steps, we must analyze all the option choices carefully. (a) can be rejected on first reading as no information as such regarding the fact that appeals have been made to overseas Pakistanis to donate money for the dam. (b) can also be rejected as although it can be inferred that Islamabad was desperately wanting for international funding for years but the fact that Pakistan is a disputed territory by the World and Asian Development Bank is not based on any strong evidence. Both (c) can also be rejected as nothing about the CPEC and the fact that officers have been told to donate money from their salaries, respectively is not evident from the facts stated.
As none of the option choices stated capture the essence of the statement thus, the most appropriate answer choice is option d.

The correct answer is option c, i.e. For instance, a tub of popcorn in most multiplexes costs nearly two times the price of a movie ticket. This fact also reflects the financial numbers of many multiplex companies.
The focus in the above statement is on the multiplex industry generating income from popcorns. No matter the show goes flop or hit, popcorn satisfies a suitable income for the multiplexes. Based on the information stated, we must analyze all the option choices carefully. (a) can be rejected as we are not concerned with the ‘news sources of income’ our primary focus is the association of popcorn sale with the multiplexes. Based on the similar grounds we can reject (b) and (d). Option (c) states a link between the popcorn sale and the income generated from that and is thus, a suitable deduction that can be made based on the information provided. Thus, the most appropriate answer is option c.

The correct answer is option a, i.e. Only conclusion III follows.
In this type of question, the conclusion is not specifically mentioned. It needs to be deduced from the given statements.
From both the statements, we infer that Maharashtra has been badly affected because of the protest by farmers and as a result, the agriculture ministry is planning to establish milk booths at railway stations.
On the basis of the conclusions mentioned, we can reject both first and second conclusion as they are vague. On the basis of the two statements, we cannot conclude any information regarding the FSSAI and the fact that farmers are demanding a GST waiver.
We know that they are protesting but the reason is not explicitly mentioned. As we cannot conclude anything which is not mentioned thus, both first and second conclusions can be rejected.
Conclusion III is a very general conclusion that can be made on the basis of the information provided in the two statements, thus, we can mark it as a suitable conclusion.
Thus, the most correct answer choice is option (a) and the rest of the options can be rejected.

The correct answer is option b, i.e. The court was hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by the corporal's father, claiming his son was being illegally confined at the Army Base Hospital.
Both options c and d can be rejected on first reading as they introduce an independent idea and we cannot deduce anything that is not mentioned thus, options c and d can be rejected. Option a can also be eliminated as we cannot predict the motive of the court with surety (mentioned as ‘Court wants to make sure’). Sincenosuch information is evident from the statement, we can reject it. Option b makes a generalization that the court was hearing a petition filed by the corporal's family (hint: last sentence of the given statement). It is a perfect deduction that can be made based on the given information as it does not introduces any new idea nor violates any piece of information stated. Based on the above conclusions we can reject options a, c, and d, and thus, the most appropriate answer is option b.

The correct answer is option c, i.e. Amazon Prime Day is giving shoppers a very unusual - and tempting - deal in the majority of the categories. Prime members can get their hands on a lot of products that too at massive discounts. In the question, it is stated that which of the following is a perfect conjecture, for understanding the question, we must first understand the meaning of the word ‘conjecture’. A ‘conjecture’ is an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information or in simple words we must look for a suitable option that can be inferred from the given information.
We first make sure to read the statement carefully and then see what immediate inferences can be drawn based on our first reading. The next step is to look at the statements given in the options, analyze them, and see if they seem relevant with respect to the information/data provided to us.
From the statement, we can infer that Amazon is offering exclusive deals to its members in its 36-hour blockbuster sales event. From the option choices mentioned, we can infer that all except option c are vague and can be rejected.
Option (a) is about the exact deal of ‘BPL's side by side refrigerator’ which is not backed up by any evidence from the given statement. Option (b) only talks about ‘refrigerators’ and as a result is very specific to just one product. Option (d) can also be rejected as no information regarding the delivery on 19 June is evident from the information provided. The option closest in meaning to this is option c. 

The correct answer is option b, i.e. Neither I nor III follows, i.e. only II follows.
A course of action is something that needs to be done considering the present scenario in mind. From the statement, it is evident that India’s secretive nuclear missile tracking ship will get ready by this December.
From the options it is very much evident that even if one doesn’t understand the statement given we can still mark the answer choice.
The hint is evident at the beginning of the second course of action where the word ‘next step’ is mentioned. It clearly suggests that this is the appropriate course of action and also suggests that this is the nest step which will include sea trials. Both (I) and (III) can be rejected as (I) suggest what the vessel will do and does not suggest anything regarding the future course of action regarding the tracking ship. (III) is a very generic statement regarding the ship and in no way suggests a possible course of action thus, it can also be rejected. Thus, all the courses of action stated except (II) are irrelevant and can be rejected.

The correct answer is option a, i.e. In India, Netflix competes with a host of OTT players, including Amazon Prime Video and Star TV-run Hotstar that charge lower subscription fees.
We first make sure to read the statement carefully and then see what immediate inferences can be drawn based on our first reading. The next step is to look at the statements given in the options, analyze them, and see if they seem relevant with respect to the information/data provided to us.
Option a is the most evident answer choice and is a perfect deduction that can be made from the given statement. From the statement, it is evident that Netflix is competing with many players that offer subscriptions at low charges. The hint to this is evident from the statement which says ‘may enter lowerpriced segments to attract new subscribers’, from this we can deduce that earlier it was not charging as low as its competitors but now it may bring down its prices to compete with the other players.
Option b and c can be rejected because we cannot deduce anything from our side and the information provided in both the assumptions cannot be deduced from the given statement.
Option d can also be rejected as it is also not based on the information stated and states an independent fact regarding the growth patterns.
The option closest in meaning to this is option a. All the other options seem irrelevant with respect to the data provided in the statement. Hence, the correct answer is option a.

The most logical inference that can be drawn from the question statement is the fact that the percentage of the workforce has been declining since the 1980s. This means that people of Tamil Nadu are finding work in Tamil Nadu itself. Option A states before the 1980s people there knew Hindi too which was banned after the 1980s. This could be one of the reasons that hindered people from migrating to other cities for work as language plays a major role in deciding such things.
The second option says that Tamil Nadu created more job opportunities and hence the population did not find any reason to migrate for livelihood opportunities. The third option says that since the government of the other cities started the policy of giving jobs only on the basis of the 'sons of the soil' theory, people from Tamil Nadu were discouraged from going elsewhere. Option D is bizarre and goes beyond logic and is incorrect.

Non –biodegradable nature of plastic bag can’t be correlated with the statement because the statement does not say whether plastic is biodegradable nor non-biodegradable. Hence, I is not implicit. But II is obviously implicit. That is why the scientist uses the word ‘Beware’ in his statement before asserting the negative features of plastic. 

Option (a) may be the cause of vacant seat in the engineering colleges because due to the recession, the number of jobs available are decreasing day by day, hence the unemployment is increasing in the engineering sector.

Option (b) may be a possible effect of big pig holes developed on the roads.
