Question : Direction: In the following question, two statements are given followed by three conclusions. You have to consider the statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow from the given statement.
Statement
1. Water has no shape, has volume.
2. Knowledge, like water, flows from one side to the other.
Conclusion
1. The knowledge is interdisciplinary
2. Knowledge is bound within a specific area.
3. Knowledge influences the core of mental activity directly.
Option 1: Only conclusion 1 follows.
Option 2: Only conclusion 2 follows.
Option 3: Both conclusions 1 and 2 follow.
Option 4: Both conclusions 1 and 3 follow.
Correct Answer: Both conclusions 1 and 3 follow.
Solution : Given:
Now, let's consider the conclusions:
1. The knowledge is interdisciplinary.
Just as water can flow and adapt to different shapes and containers, knowledge can flow across different disciplines and areas. So, this conclusion is true.
This conclusion is not supported by the statements. The analogy between knowledge and water flowing suggests that knowledge can move across different areas, similar to how water flows freely. It doesn't imply that knowledge is strictly bound within specific areas.
Knowledge flows into and shapes our mental activity, similar to how water can flow and fill spaces. This conclusion, when seen metaphorically, aligns with the idea that knowledge can have a direct impact on mental activity. So, this conclusion is also true.
Therefore, both Conclusions 1 and 3 follow the statement.
Hence, the fourth option is correct.
