Conclusions :
I. All parents these days are very well off.

II. Even though your voice is not good, one can keep practising.

Only I concludes. The statement clearly talks about people with good voice and their exceling in music.

Question :3

Statement :
In the absence of national health insurance or social security cover, a person with limited resources has to depend on government hospitals, which are crowded, overburdened and understaffed.
Conclusions :
I. National health insurance is meant only for the affluent sections of society.
II. The government hospitals provide treatment on nominal charges or free.

Answer: (b)

It is clear that either there is no facility for health insurance available or it is available for only affluent sections. Hence I cannot be definitely concluded. II follows from the given statement, as 'limited resources' of the person suggests that he will go to a hospital which provides treatment on nominal charges or free.

Question :4

Statement :
This book, 'Z' is the only book which focuses its attention on the problem of poverty in India between 1950 and 1980.
Conclusions :
I. There was no question of poverty before 1950.
II. No other books deals with poverty in India during 1950 to 1980.

Answer: (d)

The statement doesn't mean that there was no poverty before 1950. So I do not follow. Z focusses its attention on the said problem, that doesn't mean that no other book deals with the issue.

Question :5

Statements :
Now you don't need an import licence to own a VCR.
Conclusions :
I. VCRs are now manufactured indigenously.
II. VCRs are now freely permitted to be imported.

Nothing has been said in the statements which imply that VCRs and being now manufactured indigenously. Therefore, I is invalid. Since import licence on VCR's has been withdrawn, they can be now freely imported.
