Question

Assuming the statement given in the question to be true, point out the inference as one of the following.
(a)- True
(b) - False
(c) - Uncertain
(d) - Irrelevant
Statement: Most of the students who have cleared the final exam have cleared the entrance exam too.
Inference: The entrance exam is easier than the final exam.

• A. d
• B. a
• C. c
• D. b

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Analyzing the Statement 

The statement says, "Most of the students who have cleared the final exam have cleared the entrance exam too." This suggests that a majority of students who passed the final exam also passed the entrance exam. However, it does not give us information on the difficulty of the entrance exam relative to the final exam.

Step 2: Evaluating the Inference

The inference that "The entrance exam is easier than the final exam" cannot be conclusively derived from the statement. We do not know the reasons why students passed both exams, so the inference remains uncertain.

Step 3: Conclusion

Therefore, the correct answer is (c) Uncertain.
