Q. Most dresses in that shop are expensive.

Detailed Solution for Test: Statement and Conclusions - 2 - Question 4

To analyse the statements, we note that the shop mainly sells expensive dresses. This does not mean that all dresses are expensive, nor does it exclude the possibility of cheap dresses being available. Therefore, we can derive the following conclusions:

Conclusion A: This is incorrect because it is possible for there to be cheap dresses in the shop.
Conclusion B: This is also incorrect as it cannot be assumed that handloom dresses are cheap.
Conclusion C: This is a valid conclusion since the presence of expensive dresses does not eliminate the possibility of cheap dresses being available.
Conclusion D: This conclusion is true, but it does not contradict the presence of cheap dresses.

Thus, the only conclusion that logically follows is that there are cheap dresses also in that shop.
