yep .. i inquired abt that.. though they werent willing to divulge any details over phone .. i guess they have an allindia free mock cat coming up.. i guess.. we all shud take that .... a group analysis of the mock cats really tweaks ur know how of things and various concepts ...

poly_wizkid Says

hey mahi .. is this the set from this year's aimcat .... i mean aren't they going for a CBT ??

no this is not from this year mocks

i think this year they are having a combination of computer tests as well as paper pencil ones

7. (1)
8. (3)
9. JFF
10. (2)

Now, I have a doubt.
If it says "The public think that" or "The opinion of the public is" or like "The general public is beginning to realise" - all these can't be verified rite? So they can never be facts. Am i right or wrong?

see.. the sentence goes on to say that 'the general public is beginning to realise " some fact about the Indian golfers and the sentence is followed by another fact that the golfers earn more money than the Indian cricketing icons ... so the sentence is itself a fact, given that it's made up of facts ( pieces of information) .. also the sentence is neither a judgement ( opinion, suggestion et al) of any kind nor an inference ( conclusion about an unknown on the basis of a known). Hence, clearly, it's a fact. ....

PS - further discussions are always welcome as they do help one to identify one's misconceptions .....

parx911 ... u can find these questions, and been discussed, on the FIJ-2008 thread ....
http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/english-resources/31973-fact-inference-judgement-cat-2008-a-16.html ...

so i guess we can do with a new lot ... though, i do feel that in majority of discussions, the questions discussed vud be more or less the same but i guess with the entire bank being present in the 2008 segment, there's really no point to further the discussion on the very questions here .....

my take 1) JJII

I believe everyone would like to know about it.
Please elaborate. :)

Thanks anishnambisan!!

I will let you know the naming convention soon... probably on coming weekend...
Untill then.. keep solving good questions...

Set - 7.

1.If necessity is the mother of invention, scarcity may be the mother of its cousin, innovation. Judgment
2.As long as staff produces goods on time, managers can stop watching over them while they work. Judgment
3.An average global temperature rise of 4C would wipe out hundreds of species, bring extreme food and water shortage in vulnerable countries and cause catastrophic floods. Inference
4.Every deal is a new agreement between parties, and such alliances have the potential to become opportunities for permanent, long-term partnerships. Inference

My answer is

1)JJII

My option would be ...Option 1 JJII.. not sure though...

Set - 7.
1.If necessity is the mother of invention, scarcity may be the mother of its cousin, innovation.-J
2.As long as staff produces goods on time, managers can stop watching over them while they work.
3.An average global temperature rise of 4C would wipe out hundreds of species, bring extreme food and water shortage in vulnerable countries and cause catastrophic floods.-I
4.Every deal is a new agreement between parties, and such alliances have the potential to become opportunities for permanent, long-term partnerships.-I

Options are:
1)JJII 2)JJFF 3)IJII 4)JFFI

Set - 7.
Here`s my take:-
1.If necessity is the mother of invention, scarcity may be the mother of its cousin, innovation.--> It`s clearly judgement.
2.As long as staff produces goods on time, managers can stop watching over them while they work.--> This is also judgement.
3.An average global temperature rise of 4C would wipe out hundreds of species, bring extreme food and water shortage in vulnerable countries and cause catastrophic floods.--> Here, it can be clearly seen that the author is concluding something so it`s an inference.
4.Every deal is a new agreement between parties, and such alliances have the potential to become opportunities for permanent, long-term partnerships.--> This is also an inference.


Hence, the answer should be option (1)JJII

Good Point!!
Though there is no such hard and fast rules in FIJ ( atleast i think!) but some sort of indicators may help.
"Time and tide wait for none" On first look it appears to be a fact.. But its is judgement.
First it is proverb.
Second there is word of certainty "none" which points to judgement

Let me give you some theory which proves my point and may help you in finding subtle difference between FACTS and JUDGEMENT

FACTs can be verified...No one told that facts are open to verification right now. The statement can be either true or false and can be verified, albeit at a later point of time.
For e.g The statement 'I can crack CAT' is a fact.
Do everything that can be done to crack cat and the statement would be true. Do not do whatever is required to crack cat and the statement would be false. A fact can be either true or false. And your statement that u can crack cat is true since it is not an impossible thing. Even if the probability of it happeneing are 1 or 1/10000000 , it is a true statement and everyone agrees to it. Here, "can" is the most important word.

Some amt of Mathemetics also helps.
U might know, "can" refers to a possibility. If even if it is remotely possible, we say it is true. Only if it is impossible, we can it is false.
So, the statements with 'can' is whether it is possible or not. If it is possible, it is a fact; even if it is not possible, it is a fact only.

If the statements had "will help" or any 'certain' word, that indicates that no matter what these are going to help..., then it would be a judgement

Other e.g.
"How many cones are there on roof top? " ..the answer to this question can be 1) there are none cones 2) there are 10 or 20 or X cones. or lastly 3) its not a cone its a fodder or any other thing..
none of the answers are ambiguous nor any indirect statement coming up ...what does this mean ? This means that the questions asked has some fact attached to it..or if there are no facts then we can verify it ..isn't it yeh there is...
So this statement i.e "How many cones are there on roof top? " is not a judgement at all nor an inference...its a FACT ..

Other E.g. "software and technology innovation will help strengthen healthcare, protect environment, improve education and extend social and economic opportunities."..
What will you now say about this statement...what is this among F/I/J..this might be a judgment or if u have some data then can be an inference also, but not a fact being sure 100% for which you have no references cannot be a fact...
but now in place of "..will help.." I use "...can help..." then you can term this statement as a FACT.

good examples bro...keep it up....

My take: (c)

@subhash

however ,control of interference among cells is difficult in the micro cell approach.

see subash.. actually this whole is a narrated experience of an author..and i'm sure u will agree tht an experience which u have faced is a fact for u..


again.. why this is not a judgemnt??simply bcuz a judgemnt has usage of words where it leads the reader towards INTROSPECTION from his own viewpoint.. he can give rational thinking to it or irrational thinking to it..

but here u can't give an inch of ur thought process..

so this is a fact :grin::grin:

was just going thru pagalguy n found this thread....

just one note i will like to make here is that...if u cannot get these question right then plzz don wryy....i was in the same position one year back and then one of the faculty told us ....


look FIJ first came in 1993 cat paper...then a lot of aspirants who did not get these right n were not convinced with the cat answers created a lot of drama n a lot happened...so cat never gave these questions ever again..

but once again they gave it in i m not very sure 2006 n similar thing happened..cat wont ever let this thing happen ever ever again....so do not expect FIJ atleast in the next 10 years on the paper....

just a viewpoint..i followed it...FIJ never came in cat 08..cracked it n got mdi....
bottom line..dont worry much about FIJ...even the faculty gets these wrong....

I GO WITH OPTION E.. ACTUALLY OPTION b and e are the closest.. but the first statemnt has to be fact..

as the speaker is saying on the basis of experience abut the cellular industry..every word used by him.. is on certain terms... there is no apprehension,or usage of word (may,might..) the latter words if used wud have made it a judgemnt ineviatbly..

Not sure with the answer but will still go with option B ie JIFFF

My Take Set 6.
1. fact.
3. fact
4. fact
So only option A) and E).
Coming to 2nd one .. Confused abt fact or Inference.
Fact is - demand for cellular service grows
But next doesnt seem to be a Conclusion to me.Though far reaching inference can be made...system operators try to find ways to increase system capacity.
Unkown is....demand in cellular service leads to increase in system capacity.

So i will go for (E)

Set-5 Answers

IFJI
For the first question: I guess this statemen was bit tricky among 4. This is not fact but inference.
Part 1) Malaria....
Part 2).....caused by unsanitary conditions.....
Part 3)....killed a hundred slum dwellers....
Part1) Simply is a noun or a disease that everyone is aware of so no issues with it.
Part 2) speaks about the cause of this disease which might be or might not be true..For e.g we say at times we say that headache is caused by work pressure or due to tensions or etc...In this case too it is just an inference, since on the basis of the condition where the speaker said this would have bad sanitary condition.
Part 3) this is the part which has done all the debate..yeh it is a fact by any means but is this part makes whole of the sentence turn into a Fact...NO it is not making whole of the sentence a Fact...so what it is doing ..making it as judgement or inference....Judgement NO since we have some fact and others we can verify..so the clock move towards Inference and hence this is the answer for it.
2. Fact.
3. National prestige will have to be maintained... Clear Opinion So,Judgement.
4. Inference.

Note: I was kind of disappointed to see no naming convention followed on Verbal threads this year... And i wasted 2-3 min searching for the question. We had maintained a naming convention last year that proved very effective. Please let me know if you want to know more about it or visit CAT 2008 verbal threads ..

I believe everyone would like to know about it.
Please elaborate.

d) JFIJ.
Most of you have given correct answer. So i guess no need to give explanation.

First statement is a saying agreed. but it is still verifiable- isn't it?

And if not so- how come we apply the same logic to the second statement?

Reasoning is given in above post..hope it can clarify you.

But dude, going by the very same logic won't the statement:
"Time and tide wait for none" fall in the same category?
We all know time and tide move on without anyone's consent and they can't be controlled by man. That makes it verifiable, and hence a Fact.

But the answer says it's a judgement. How can we then classify one statement as fact and the other as a judgement on the basis of the same logic?
What I'm worried about is that we may be modifying the explanation to suit the answer. The answer could very well be incorrect. Can't it be so?
Hope everyone understands.

but now in place of "..will help.." I use "...can help..." then you can term this statement as a FACT.

Well, i can understand your predicament......let`s start all over again.....

Here, the statement is "Science has created more problems than it has solved". Now, at first it may seem like someone`s opinion. So, it may seem like a judgement but think deep. Can this be verified( which is the pre-requisite of being a fact)??? Yes, u can verify what are the problems science created( though a painful task) viz. global warming, nuclear arms race, new varities of biological diseases,etc. And did science has solved all of them?? No.....so the above statement is true & can be verified and hence it`s a FACT. Moreover, it won`t be an inference because to be an inference the author has to conclude something on the basis of a fact which is not the case here. Hope i m clear.....if not even then it`s quite understandable.

i think these are not the problems created by science these are created by man with the infinite help of science

chalo post the next ones

But dont u think this opinion differs from person to person which can be classified as a JUDGMENT

here in options we are not given this particular statement as a JUDGMENT but if it is given then what would be ur answer ???

My apologies if i am annoying u people but i am unable to distinguish that thin line difference between an INFERENCE and a JUDGMENT

Well, i can understand your predicament......let`s start all over again.....

Here, the statement is "Science has created more problems than it has solved". Now, at first it may seem like someone`s opinion. So, it may seem like a judgement but think deep. Can this be verified( which is the pre-requisite of being a fact)??? Yes, u can verify what are the problems science created( though a painful task) viz. global warming, nuclear arms race, new varities of biological diseases,etc. And did science has solved all of them?? No.....so the above statement is true & can be verified and hence it`s a FACT. Moreover, it won`t be an inference because to be an inference the author has to conclude something on the basis of a fact which is not the case here. Hope i m clear.....if not even then it`s quite understandable.

SET - 3
At the very outset, this one`s very confusing:shock:......but nevertheless here`s my take on it.....
1. Time and tide wait for no man- It seems like an opinion ( though it`s a well known proverb), so judgement.
2. Science has created more problems than it has solved- This one`s tricky....it can`t be judgement because it`s not there in the options. Now between inference & fact i would go for fact because u can verify what are the problems science created & how many it was able to solve. so, it`s a fact.
3. Familiarity breeds awareness.-- This is an inference...because here u r concluding something on the basis of a fact.
4. If the breadwinner is a drug addict, imagine the sorry plight of the family.--- This is also an inference.
so, i think it`s option (a) JFII

P.S- @parx911.....plz post the official answers soon.

But dont u think this opinion differs from person to person which can be classified as a JUDGMENT

here in options we are not given this particular statement as a JUDGMENT but if it is given then what would be ur answer ???

My apologies if i am annoying u people but i am unable to distinguish that thin line difference between an INFERENCE and a JUDGMENT

Set - 4

second statement is a FACT because it can be verified

final statement is JUDGMENT because it can be answer to the world problems or it can be a creator of problems

we dont know on which side author is putting his weight

4 Option JFIJ is the answer

My answer : (b)JFIF

I would go with Option 4

Set - 4

1. We may suffer but we should not inflict suffering on others.-J-Clearly somebody's opinion
2. He was elected the president of the Indian national congress.-F-Can be verified
3. Ultimately Man will develop into a superman, if this rate of progress is constant.
4. Science is the answer to all world problems.-J-Its a bit confusing, But J sounds better to me
a) JIJF b) JFIF c) JIJJ d) JFIJ

2. He was elected the president of the Indian national congress.
3. Ultimately Man will develop into a superman, if this rate of progress is constant.
4. Science is the answer to all world problems.
a) JIJF b) JFIF c) JIJJ d) JFIJ

optiion-d
since it is well proved that b is the fact,now there is only a confusion whether d is judgement or fact.....d cant b fact.....bcoz this isnt verifiable...this is jst an opinion....others may not feel this...
