Statement:
The Vedas are packed with the greatest wisdom; a German scholar. Max Mueller published the first scholarly translation of the Vedas.
Conclusions:
I. German discovered wisdom.
II. The Vedas are written in German.
Answer: D
The statement tells us that the Vedas contain wisdom and that a German scholar called Max Mueller published the first scholarly translation of it. This statement gives us no clue as to who wrote the Vedas or in what language it was writers, hence we cannot conclude anything about these two aspects. However, conclusions I and II conclude that the Germans discovered wisdom and that the Vedas are in German, which is not factually supported by the given statement. Hence, both do not follow.

The government had not declared many parts of the state as drought-hit to help farmers get loans.
Which of the following is an assumption implicit in the given statements?
Answer: B
The statement does not refer to what the farmers want. It only states the action taken by the government. Hence, choice (1) is out of context.
The reason behind the government's decision to not declare many areas drought hit is to let the farmers avail loans. From this it is clear that the government is assuming that there is a necessity for the farmers to avail loans.Hence, choice (2) is an implicit assumption.
The government does not want the farmers to be denied loans. As a result the government is not declaring many areas as drought hit. From this it can be inferred that the farmers do not get loans, once their area is declared drought hit.
Hence, choice (3) is an inference.
The statement has no reference to the farmers who are in the areas that are not drought hit. Hence, choice (4) is out of context.

Statement:
The government of country 'X' has recently announced several concessions and offered attractive package tours for foreign visitors.
Conclusions:
I. Now, more numbers of foreign tourists will visit the country 'X'.
II. The government of country 'X' seems to be serious in attracting foreign tourists.
Answer: A
The statement tells us about a policy decision of government 'X' which has announced several concessions and new attractive package tours of foreign visitors. Obviously this implies that country 'X' is serious about increasing the number of people who visit the country, but again we are not sure of the efficacy of this new policy or whether it would actually serve the intended purpose - as such no conclusion could be drawn on this aspect. Conclusion II which predicts that more people will visit the country 'X' contravenes the above discussed issue of the efficacy of the policy. Hence, it is not a valid conclusion. Conclusion I tells us about the seriousness of country 'X' in attracting foreign visitors and it definitely follows.

Statement:
U.S.A. is helping Pakistan to build up a massive military.
Conclusions:
I. U.S.A. wants Pakistan to attack India.
II. Pakistan's intention is to attack India.
Answer: D
The statement tells us that U.S.A. is helping Pakistan build up a massive military. This means that U.S.A. is an ally of Pakistan and we could also infer that U.S.A, in terms of military, is much stronger than Pakistan. Students should be very cautions here as to not bring in their general awareness and relate this aspect to India, as the passage does not mention India in any way, nor does it explicitly state the reason as to why Pakistan intends to build up its military. Hence, any reason given for the same would be pure conjecture and not supported by evidence from the passage. Conclusion I is rejected as the statement does not hint at the reason for U.S.A. helping Pakistan. In much the same way the sentence does not give any reason for Pakistan building up its military. Hence, II also does not follow.
