Statement and Conclusion questions are based on logical reasoning, where a statement is given followed by one or more conclusions.

A single statement is followed by two conclusions
You must decide which conclusion logically follows

Conclusions:

Cinema is not a lasting source of happiness
Answer: (b) Only conclusion 2 follows
Explanation: The statements imply external happiness is temporary, supporting conclusion 2.
Follow these proven strategies to improve accuracy:
Treat statements as absolutely true, even if unrealistic
Do not assume anything beyond the given data
Look for common keywords between statement and conclusion
Ensure conclusions are logically connected to the statement
Avoid conclusions that are too extreme or generalized
Carefully read the statement before answering
Avoid guessing due to negative marking
Consistency in applying these tips can significantly improve your performance.
Here are a few sample questions based on statements and conclusion topics.
(a) If only conclusion 1 follows
(b) If only conclusion 2 follows
(c) If both follow
