Below is given a passage followed by a possible inference that can be drawn from the facts stated in the passage. You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage and decide upon its degree of truth or falsity. Mark answer:

1) If the inference is "definitely true" i.e. it properly follows from the statement of facts given.

2) If the inference is "probably true" though not "definitely true" in the light of the facts given.

3) If the data is inadequate i.e. from the facts given, you cannot say whether the inference is likely to be true or false.

4) If the inference is "probably false" though not "definitely false" in the light of the facts given.

5) If the inference is "definitely false" i.e., either it cannot possibly be drawn from the facts given or it contradicts the given facts.


Passage: Cardiovascular disease is so prevalent that virtually all businesses are likely to have employees who suffer from, or may develop, this condition. Research shows that between 50-80 percent of all people who suffer a heart attack are able to return to work. However, this may not be possible if they have previously been involved in heavy physical work. In such cases, it may be possible to move the employee to lighter duties, with appropriate retaining where necessary. Similarly, high-pressure, stressful work, where it does not involve physical activity, should also be avoided. Human Resource managers should be aware of the implications of job roles for employees with a cardiac condition.

Inference: Physical and stressful work definitely leads to a heart attack.
