Two Conclusions Based

Statement - Conclusions

Introduction : Conclusion is the last main division of discourse, usually containing a summing up of the points and a statement of opinions or decisions reached.

'Conclusion' is a fact that can be truly inferred from the contents of a given sentence. This type of questions consist of a statement or a set of statements, followed by certain inference(s) based on the facts of statements. Here, candidates are required to approach the questions with solutions from different angles. This approach basically emphasises the need for being more systematic and logical in drawing inferences. Therefore, consequent effect of a statement has to be analysed before reaching the correct conclusion(s).

The following points should be taken into consideration while solving question based on statement and conclusions.

  • Read and analyse the statement(s) very carefully.
  • Try and apprehend the possible things that can be understood from the statement.
  • The conclusions drawn should be read with utmost care.
  • Try to compare the conclusions with the deduction that were drawn from the statement previously.
  • The conclusion which are similar or in accordance with the deduction that is made, is the correct conclusion.
  • This topic mainly deals with the conditions of which the conclusion has to be reached. 

    Two Conclusions : In this type of questions, one statement and two conclusions are given. We have to analyse that which conclusion(s) appropriately support the sentence.

    Example 1:

    Statement : These apples are good but too expensive to bought.

    Conclusion : 

  • I.  When apples are in short supply, the prices go up.
  • II.  The higher the selling price, the superior is the quality of the commodity.
  • (a) Only I follows                   (b) Only II follows                        (c) Both follow                       (d) None follows

    Solution : (b) According to the statement, quality is directly proportional to the price. Hence, higher the selling price, superior is the quality of the commodity.

    Example 2 :

    Statement : In a one-day cricket match the total runs made by a team were 200, out of which 160 runs were made by spinners.

    Conclusions : 

  • I : 80% of the team consists of spinners.
  • II : The opening batsmen were spinners.
  • (a)  Only I follows             (b) Only II follows                  (c) Both follow                  (d) None follows

    Solution : (d)  Team may consists of the number of spinners more or less than given in Conclusion I. Therefore, Conclusion I does not follow. Secondly, it is not known from the statement that opening batsmen were spinners.  Therefore, Conclusion II does not follow.
