Q:

A statement is given followed by three inferences numbered I, II, and III. Consider the statement to be true even if it is at variance with commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the inferences, if any, follow from the given statement.

Statement:

Donald Trump began the week facing accusations of treason over his embrace of Vladimir Putin and ended it with a middle finger to his many critics by inviting the Russian autocrat to the White House.

Inferences:

I. America and Russia are not allies.
II. No prior American President has ever
embraced a Russian counterpart.
III. Russian President, Vladimir Putin,
has been a long-time US enemy.

A) Only I can be inferred	B) Both I and II can be inferred
C) Only III can be inferred	D) Both I and II can be inferred

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Only III can be inferred

Explanation:

Only III can be inferred. We can only deduce from the given statement that Putin and America have not been on good terms because President Trump was accused of treason simply because he embraced his Russian counterpart. We cannot draw any general conclusions about the relationship between both the countries. Also, we cannot infer anything about the prior presidents of America from what is given. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.

Q:

Which one of the following statements is correct?

A) The rank of Second Lieutenant has been abolished.	B) The Chief of Army Staff carries the rank of Field Marshal.
C) All officers posted to Andaman and Nicobar Islands wear the ranks of the Indian Navy.	D) The rank of Major General is higher than the rank of Lieutenant General.

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) The rank of Second Lieutenant has been abolished.

Explanation:

The rank of 2nd Lieutenant/Act. Sub Lieutenant/Pilot Officer were removed because the salary of the officers holding these ranks were less compared to senior Non-Commissioned Officers i.e Subedar Major in army, Master Warrant Officer in air force and Master Chief Petty Officer -1st Class in navy.

Rest of the statements are incorrect.In modern armies, lieutenant general normally ranks immediately below general and above major general; it is equivalent to the navy rank of vice admiral, and in air forces with a separate rank structure, it is equivalent to air marshal.
