A statement is a group of words arranged to form meaningful sentences. A conclusion is a judgement or decision reached after consideration about the given statement. Different types of questions are covered from this analytical reasoning section such as one statement with two conclusions, more than two statements and conclusions based, and so on.
A conclusion is an option or decision that is formed after a period of thought or research on some facts or sentences stated by someone. A consequent effect needs to be analyzed before reaching to the final result or conclusion or a given premise. It requires a very systematic and logical approach.
Types of Statement and Conclusion
As now we know what consists of the questions related to the Statement and Conclusion reasoning section. Let us see the various types of questions that may come one by one from below.
1. Action Motive
In this type of statement and conclusion reasoning, questions are based on an action being undertaken. If such an action is always taken with a particular type of motive, then such type of motive exists.
2. Cause Effect
In this type of statement and conclusion reasoning, questions are based on the type of effects, which would take place for a particular cause. If an action is undertaken and if such an action always leads to a particular type of effect, then it is definitely true and such an effect would take place.
3. Keywords
One of the most important aspects of evaluating this type of statement and conclusion reasoning is to understand some popular words, which are known as keywords. The most significant use of keywords is that it helps in distinguishing between definitely true, probably true, and definitely false statements.
In Standard Keywords, adjectives, conjunctions, verbs, and adverbs, which are used in the statement provide the idea on the quantity as well as the quality of a statement. Some examples are, some, none, never, always, sometimes, must be, etc.
How to Solve Question Based on Statement and Conclusion Reasoning- Know all Tips and Tricks
Candidates can find various tips and tricks from below for solving the questions related to this section.
Tip # 1: Candidates can evaluate and inference/conclusion with the help of some keywords used in a passage.
Tip # 2: To avoid confusion between the choices “definitely true” and “probably true”, candidates should check if the extra assumption they need to make in order to inference/conclusion is universally true. The same thing can be used in case of “definitely false” and “probably false” statements.
Statement and Conclusion Sample Questions
Question 1:
Statements:
India is a country of multiple languages.
Conclusions:
- All Indians should learn multiple languages.
- Every country has multiple languages
Solution: The statement says that India is a country of multiple languages, but it does not express the need for every Indian to learn multiple languages.
Also, the statement gives information about only one country.
Both conclusions are irrelevant as it is not relevant to the statement.
Hence, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
.Question 2:
Statements:
Domestic demand has been increasing faster than the production of CNG vehicles.
Conclusions:
The government has grown CNG vehicle plants very fast.
Solution: Domestic demand has been increasing faster (cause) so the government has grown the production of CNG vehicles very fast (action is taken).

Question 3:
Statement: A mid-day meal scheme is not a perfect solution to the nutrition problem, but has the added advantage of providing an incentive for parents to send their kids to school.
Conclusion: Mid-day meal scheme will improve the school attendance of children.
Solution: We can assume that free food usually attracts people. Under this
assumption, we may consider it likely that more parents would send their children to school. Hence, this inference is probably true.
Question 4:
Statement: All those who have pride for their country and love for their motherland will not tolerate the remarks of the journalist.
Conclusion/Inference: Some people will find the remark of the journalist intolerable.
Solution: We may safely assume that some (may be not all) people do love their country and motherland. Now, all such people do not tolerate the remarks of the journalist. Hence, it can be inferred that the inference is definitely true.
