Directions (6 - 10): Below is given a passage followed several possible inferences which can be drawn from the facts stated in the passage. You have to examine each

inference separately in the context of the passage and decide upon its degree of truth or falsity.

Mark answer (1) If the inference is 'definitely true' i.e. it properly follows from the statement of facts given.

Mark answer (2) If the inference is 'probably true' though not 'definitely true' in the light of the facts given.

Mark answer (3) If the data is inadequate i.e. from the facts given, you cannot say whether the inference is likely to be true or false.

Mark answer (4) If the inference is 'probably false' thought not 'definitely false' in the light of the facts given.

Mark answer (5) If the inference is 'definitely false' i.e. it cannot possibly be drawn from the facts given or it contradicts the given facts.

(Note: Each of the five questions has only one distinct answer i.e. no two questions can have the same answer. If you get the same answer for more than one question,

consider both again and decide which one of the two would more definitely be that answer and in the same way review the other also.)
