Almost all of the books -- Must be true
Almost all of the books published in the past 150 years were printed on acidic paper. Unfortunately, every kind of acidic paper gradually destroys itself due to its very acidity.

No mathematician today -- Must be true
No mathematician today would flatly refuse to accept the results of an enormous computation as an adequate demonstration of the truth of a theorem. In 1976, however, this was not the case.

John’s friends -- Must be true
All of John’s friends say they know someone who has smoked 40 cigarettes a day for the past 40 years and yet who is really fit and well. John does not know anyone like that and it is quite certain that he is not unique among his friends in this respect. If the statements in the passage are true, the...

Holiday receipts -- Must be true
Any idea, how to solve such questions???? Holiday receipts—the total sales recorded in the fourth quarter of the year—determine the economic success or failure of many retail businesses.

C. Of the businesses that ceased operating in the state during the last ten years, only 5 percent were engaged in air-polluting industries. I think this is the answer. If only 5% are polluting, then the majority of the reduction in pollution came from restriction not from recession. Why not (B) or ...

IMO (E). Though I was confused too between (B) and (E) but at the end I chose (E). B is wrong because Both agree that the public will be affected by publicity campaigns and this is not the point of issue. Point of argument is whether advertising health hazards of Tropical oil is good public health s...

IMO (E). There is some serious problem with this question. IMO we cannot directly cancel the powers for LHS. Since, the answer is given as (B), so let me try first to prove statement II as insufficient. -x * |x| > 0 It clearly means that x should be negative or x < 0 Now suppose, x = -1 then by the ...
