JMET 2007 Paper with answers

is option (c) as according to Gopal, working hard and getting a good rank are not directly co -
related. Option (A) is incorrect because Gopal is not presenting a method of his own. We have
no information whether the evidence was overlooked or not, so we can also eliminate option (B).
Gopal is talking about how Alok and Raju prepared and not about his own method of
preparation, thus option (D) can also be eliminated.
Q.24 Which of the following statements would be the most effective rebuttal by Gopal's father to
his arguments?
(A) Your two college seniors did not have to put in more effort as they had been preparing for
this examination for a longer duration.
(B) I have been coaching students for this examination since its inception, and hence I feel that
you need to put in more effort.
(C) You need to provide much more detailed data to support your argument.
(D) My suggestion is not obviously wrong. There is only one way to find out if it is wrong, and
that is to try it.
Solution 24. Ans is option (C). Option (A) mentions the "duration", but we have no information
about this in the question, thus it can be eliminated. Option (B) is not the answer as Gopal's
father has not provided any concrete proof for his argument. Option (D) is incorrect as it is not a
rebuttal, where Gopal's father is trying to prove his argument is right. Option (C) would be the
best answer here as Gopal has given the example of only two students and this is a very low
number to prove his argument.
