NIFT PG 2013 Question Paper with solutions

Directions (Qs. 139–150): Below are given four business situations. Each situation is followed by three inferences which can be drawn from the facts stated in the situation. Examine each inference separately in the context of the situation and decide upon its degree of truth or falsity. Mark answer as

SITUATION–I

Urban lifestyles, fast foods, changing diet patterns, lack of exercise, obesity and smoking are responsible for increase in the incidence of diabetes, heart attacks and cancer. Research has also shown that modern cooking oils have an unhealthy ratio of harmful fatty acids to essential fatty acids which contribute to free radical attacks and increase insulin resistance. Ghee, coconut oil and mustard oil have a healthy ratio of fatty acids. Their use in rural India, coupled with a traditional high fibre diet and physical exercise, probably account for the lower incidence of diabetes and heart attacks in the rural population, the study reveals.

if the ‘data is inadequate’, i.e., from the facts given you cannot say whether the inference is likely to be true or false.
if the inference is ‘definitely false’, i.e., it cannot possibly be drawn from the facts given or it contradicts the given facts.
