Understanding the Statement and Inference
The statement indicates that a local hospital is opening a new wing specifically for cancer treatment. This leads us to evaluate the inferences provided.
Inference I: The hospital is expanding its facilities.
- The announcement of a new wing clearly indicates an expansion.
- This is a logical conclusion because creating additional space for cancer treatment suggests that the hospital is enhancing its capabilities.
Inference II: The hospital has a shortage of staff.
- There is no direct evidence in the statement to suggest a staff shortage.
- The opening of a new wing does not imply operational difficulties or staffing issues.
Inference III: The new wing will only treat patients with cancer.
- The wording "dedicated to cancer treatment" implies the new wing's primary focus is on cancer patients.
- Hence, it is reasonable to interpret that this wing will specialize in treating only cancer cases, although it does not exclude the possibility of treating other conditions.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis:
- Inference I is valid as it represents the hospital's expansion.
- Inference II is not supported by the statement.
- Inference III is valid as it specifies the focus of the new wing.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C': both I and III follow.

Statement: The company announced a new policy to allow employees to work from home twice a week.
Inference:
I. The company wants to improve work-life balance for its employees.
II. The company wants to reduce its office space and save costs.
III. The company is experiencing high employee turnover due to the lack of work-life balance.
  • a)
    If only I follows
  • b)
    If only II follows
  • c)
    If both I and II follow
  • d)
    If both II and III follow
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Statement
The company has introduced a new policy permitting employees to work from home twice a week. This decision can indicate various underlying motivations.
Inference I: Improving Work-Life Balance
- The primary aim of allowing remote work is often to enhance employees' work-life balance.
- By providing flexibility, employees can manage personal responsibilities more effectively alongside their work commitments.
- Thus, it is reasonable to infer that the company intends to improve work-life balance for its employees.
Inference II: Reducing Office Space and Costs
- Allowing employees to work from home may lead the company to reconsider its physical office space requirements.
- With fewer employees present in the office, the company could potentially save on overhead costs, such as utilities and rent.
- Therefore, the inference that the company wants to reduce its office space and save costs follows logically.
Inference III: High Employee Turnover
- While introducing remote work can be a response to high turnover rates, this inference is not directly supported by the statement.
- The policy does not provide evidence that the company is experiencing turnover issues due to a lack of work-life balance.
- Thus, this inference cannot be conclusively drawn from the information provided.
Conclusion
Given the analysis:
- Inference I is valid as it aligns with common motivations for remote work policies.
- Inference II also holds, as companies often seek cost reductions through flexible work arrangements.
- Inference III lacks direct support from the statement.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'C': If both I and II follow.

Statement: The government has announced a reduction in the corporate tax rate.
Inference:
I. The government wants to attract more foreign investment.
II. The government wants to increase revenue by encouraging more companies to register.
III. The government wants to improve the profitability of domestic companies.
  • a)
    If only I follows
  • b)
    If only II follows
  • c)
    If both I and III follow
  • d)
    If both II and III follow
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Government's Tax Rate Reduction
The statement indicates that the government has reduced the corporate tax rate, which can have several implications. Let’s analyze the given inferences.
Inference I: Attracting Foreign Investment
- A reduction in the corporate tax rate can make a country more appealing to foreign investors.
- Lower tax rates typically enhance the potential returns on investment, encouraging foreign companies to establish or expand their operations in the country.
- Therefore, this inference is plausible as a strategic move to attract foreign capital.
Inference II: Increasing Revenue through Company Registrations
- While a lower tax rate might encourage more companies to register, it does not guarantee an immediate increase in government revenue.
- The rationale behind this inference is that more registrations could lead to a broader tax base.
- However, the initial tax rate reduction may lead to lower revenue in the short term, as existing companies may pay less tax initially.
- Hence, this inference is less certain.
Inference III: Improving Profitability of Domestic Companies
- Reducing the corporate tax rate directly benefits domestic companies, enhancing their profitability.
- Increased profitability can lead to higher reinvestment in the business, wage growth, and overall economic stimulation.
- This inference aligns well with the goal of reducing the corporate tax rate.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'C' because both Inference I and Inference III logically follow from the statement regarding the reduction in the corporate tax rate. Inference II, while possible, lacks the same level of direct correlation with the government's intentions.

Statement: The government has announced a new policy that aims to promote the use of electric vehicles.
Inference:
I. The government is concerned about air pollution caused by traditional vehicles.
II. The government wants to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels.

  • a)
    If only I follows

    If both I and II follow
  • d)
    If both II and III follow
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Ssc Cgl answered
The statement mentions that the government has announced a new policy that aims to promote the use of electric vehicles. From this, it can be inferred that the government wants to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels, as electric vehicles are powered by electricity and do not rely on fossil fuels like traditional vehicles. Therefore, option II is the only possible inference from the statement. Option I is incorrect as there is no mention of air pollution caused by traditional vehicles in the statement. Option III is incorrect as there is no mention of electric vehicles being more affordable than traditional vehicles in the statement.

Statement: The government has introduced a new tax on luxury goods.
Inference:

  • a)
    If only I follows
  • b)
    If only II follows
  • c)
    If both I and II follow
  • d)
    If both II and III follow
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Inference from the Statement
The statement indicates that the government has introduced a new tax on luxury goods. Let's analyze the provided inferences to understand why option 'C' is correct.
Inference I: The government is trying to raise revenue.
- Explanation: Introducing a tax is a common method for governments to increase their revenue. Taxing luxury goods typically targets higher-income individuals, thereby generating additional funds for public services and infrastructure. This inference logically follows from the statement.
Inference II: The government wants to discourage the purchase of luxury goods.
- Explanation: Taxing luxury items can serve as a deterrent, making these goods more expensive and potentially decreasing their consumption. This inference aligns with the intent of imposing a luxury tax, aiming to reduce the demand for such products. Thus, this inference also follows from the statement.
Inference III: The government wants to promote the purchase of locally made goods.
- Explanation: The introduction of a tax on luxury goods does not inherently suggest a promotion of locally made products. There is no direct correlation between taxing luxury items and encouraging local goods. Therefore, this inference does not necessarily follow from the statement.
Conclusion
Based on this analysis:
- I and II are valid inferences that stem from the government's action of taxing luxury goods.
- III is not a valid inference as it does not logically connect to the tax's purpose.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'C', as both I and II follow logically from the statement.

Understanding the Arguments
In the context of the statement about college uniforms in India, we need to evaluate the strength of each argument provided.
Argument I: Support for Uniforms
- Ambiance Improvement: The argument suggests that uniforms would enhance the college environment by ensuring all students are decently dressed.
- Uniformity: This can promote a sense of equality among students and reduce distractions related to personal attire.
- Evaluation: While aesthetically appealing, the argument lacks consideration for personal expression and the diverse backgrounds of college students. It feels more like a preference rather than a compelling reason.
Argument II: Opposition to Uniforms
- Personal Freedom: This argument emphasizes the importance of self-expression and individuality among college students.
- Regimentation Concerns: It highlights that college is a transitional phase where students should learn to make their own choices, including their attire.
- Evaluation: This argument is strong because it addresses the values of freedom and personal identity, which are crucial at the college level. It recognizes the maturity of students and their right to express themselves.
Conclusion
In summary, while Argument I presents a valid point about ambiance, it does not outweigh the importance of personal freedom highlighted in Argument II. College students are generally at an age where self-expression is vital, making Argument II the stronger position. Thus, the correct answer is option 'B': Only Argument II is strong.
