Critical Reasoning Primer- Fact, Inference and Judgment by Total Gadha - Friday, 11 May 2007, 08:47 AM
C AT 2006 came as a surprise to many. The difficulty level of the quant section nosedived and that of the verbal section skyrocketed. Gone were the regular "jumbled paragraphs" or "usage" questions and in their places were "paragraph completion" and "fact-inference-judgment" questions, both of which required more of logical reasoning and critical thinking than of verbal ability. And suddenly common sense became uncommon. C onfusion reigned supreme. Verbal section needed more brains than quant section. "I was gratified to be able to answer promptly. I said I didn't know."-- Mark Twain Unfortunately, the C AT takers couldn't get off the hook so easily. But many succumbed to the pressure and committed egregious errors. The easiest of the questions, the inference-fact-judgment questions, stumped many, probably because of their newness or the pressure of the C AT paper. But all that those questions required were understanding the given definitions and applying the parajumble method of working with options. In this article, I will expand the meanings of the three definitions and give the examples from the C AT 2006 paper. Who knows, C AT 2007 might again feature some version of these critical reasoning questions. FACTS: deal with pieces of information that one has heard, seen or read, and which are open to discovery or verification. The key word here is "verification". A fact is a statement that can be "verified", i.e. a fact is either true or false. Facts are statements that may involve numbers, natural phenomena, dates etc. The characteristics of the statements classified as facts are:
Made after observation or experience. An event cannot become a fact unless it has occurred. C onfined to what one observes; cannot be made about the future. Limited number possible. Not perception dependent. A fact will be agreed to by every person. It does not change from person to person. Tends to bring people together in agreement.
Examples: 1) Nearly 2 lac students took C AT last year. 2) Life exists on other planets (although physically not possible to verify, this statement will be either true or false). 3) I like Pink Floyd more than Metallica (It may not seem so, but this statement is either true or false. Either I like Pink Floyd more than Metallica or I don't). 4) The legislature is advocating vigorously against intrusion of judiciary in parliamentary affairs. 5) A football field is 100 yards long. NOTE: Notice the difference when a sentence contains subjective or abstract expressions6) 7) 8) 9) The music was very loud (NOT a fact as the loudness might vary from person to person). I found the music very loud (A fact as it is either a truth or a lie. I must have found the music very loud or not very loud). Poverty is a curse on mankind (NOT a fact... "curse on mankind" is too abstract). 20% of the population live below poverty line (Fact).
"FACTS" STATEMENTS IN CAT 2006 PAPER: 1) The government has been supplying free drugs since 2004, and 35 000 have benefited up to now- though the size of the affected population is 150 times this number. 2) Only about 13 million children in the age group of 6 to 14 years are out of school. 3) The truth is that we have more red tape- we take eighty- nine days to start a small business, Australians take two. 4) The economies of the industrialized western world derive 20% of their income from the sale of all kinds of arms. INFERENCES: are conclusions drawn about the unknown, on the basis of the known. Notice the three words "conclusions", "known" and "unknown" very carefully. They will give you complete description of what an inference consists of-
Known- A fact. The first thing an inference should consist of is a fact. This fact is required to prove another proposition.
Unknown- Something which can be logically proven by the given fact or the "known". Therefore, in an inference an unknown proposition is present which is to be proven with the help of the fact. Remember that this proposition has to be proven with the help of another fact. C onclusion- Once the unknown has been proved with the help of the known (fact) it is called a conclusion.
Notice the meaning of the word "Infer". To infer means to conclude from evidence; to deduce to have a logical consequence. (an inference = a conclusion)
Therefore, the process of inference can be summarized by the figure given below:
Examples: 1) Because the old man stayed indoors all the time and did not receive any visitors, no one discovered his dead body for days. (the green part is the fact and the brown part is the conclusion. Notice that without the explanation given by the fact, you cannot convincingly prove the conclusion.) 2) The footprint warned Robinson C rusoe that there was someone else on the island.

"INFERENCE" STATEMENTS IN CAT 2006 PAPER: (the facts are in green and the conclusions are in brown) 1) The recent initiatives of networks and companies like AIDScare Network, Emcure, Reliance-C ipla-C II, would lead to availability of muchneeded drugs to a larger number of affected people. 2) According to all statistical indications, the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan has managed to keep pace with its ambitious goals. 3) Every red tape procedure is a point of contact with an official, and such contacts have the potential to become opportunities for money to change hands. 4) Even without war, we know that conflicts continue to trouble us- they only change in color. JUDGEMENTS: are opinions that imply approval or disapproval of persons, objects, situations, and occurrences in the past, the present or the future. There is a fine line of distinction between inferences and judgments. Most of the times judgments are also based on facts and therefore they seem like inferences. But there are some ways to differentiate a judgment and an inference-

1) 2) 3)
Judgments are arguable and contestable. Inferences are rock solid. Although both judgments and inferences are based on facts, in the latter the conclusion is so unquestionable that it becomes fact itself. Judgments are opinions, suggestions and recommendations whereas inferences are proven conditions. Judgment statements include a lot of quantities that cannot be measured, such as happiness, beauty, joy etc.
Many a times, judgments are not accompanied by facts at all but are only opinion statements. When there is no fact involved, the statement can only be a judgment statement. A judgment is an honest attempt to make reasonable observations about the given facts but they do not conclusively prove anything.
Examples: It is estimated that that 30% of Indians live below poverty line. (judgment: if it is an estimate, it cannot be a fact). Every mother has only the best interests of her children at her heart. (Is there a way to look inside a mother's heart?). Because we had three wars with our neighboring country, we should keep our armed forced ready for the fourth one.
"JUDGMENT" STATEMENTS IN CAT 2006 PAPER: 1) So much of our day-to-day focus seems to be on getting thins done, trudging our way through the tasks of living- it can feel like a treadmill that gets you nowhere; where is the childlike joy? 2) We are not doing things that make us happy; that which brings us joy; the things that we cannot wait to do because we enjoy them so much. 3) This is the stuff that joyful living is made of- identifying your calling and committing yourself wholeheartedly to it. 4) When this happens, each moment becomes a celebration of you; there is a rush of energy that comes with feeling completely immersed in doing what you love most. 5) Given the poor quality of service in the public service, the HIV/AIDS affected should be switching to private initiatives that supply antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) at a low cost. 6) But how ironic it is that we should face a perennial shortage of drugs when India is one of the world's largest suppliers of generic drugs to the developing world. 7) The Mid-day Meal scheme has been a significant incentive for the poor to send their little ones to school, thus establishing the vital link between healthy bodies and healthy minds. 8) The goal of universalisation of elementary education has to be a pre-requisite for the evolution and development of our country. 9) We should not be hopelessly addicted to an erroneous belief that corruption in India is caused by the crookedness of Indians. 10) Red tape leads to corruption and distorts peoples character. 11) Inequitable distribution of all kinds of resources is certainly one of the strongest and most sinister sources of conflict. 12) Extensive disarmament is the only insurance for our future; imagine the amount of resources that can be released and redeployed. Thats all folks! In the next article I will expound on the building blocks of critical reasoning and how to break arguments into its blocks in order to solve questions. I will take up some GMAT critical reasoning questions and dissect arguments step by step. Till then, chew the cud over the present articleC heers!
I shall have to end here and leave the rest of it for my CBT Club students. I shall cover some problems based on this in the CBT Club this week.
If you think this article was useful, help others by sharing it with your friends!

The truth is that we have more red tape- we take eighty- nine days to start a small business, Australians take two. should be an inference.As "we take eighty- nine days to start a small business, Australians take two" is definitely a Fact.And "The truth is that we have more red tape" has been derived from this fact.
Plz reply.Thanks

Re: Critical Reasoning Primer- Fact, Inference and Judgment by Total Gadha - Saturday, 12 May 2007, 12:15 AM Hi Muk e sh, Good que stion. This article took four days to write just be cause of this particular state m e nt be cause I also de bate d ove r it. The n I look e d at othe r infe re nce s and found one sim ilarity- the fact and the conclusion are disjoint (se parate ) things. I m e an, it ne ve r happe ne d in an infe re nce state m e nt that the conclusion was an e x te nde d m e aning of the fact itse lf. In this case , re d tape is nothing but tak ing longe r tim e and it is the e x te nde d m e aning of the fact. I couldn't find any othe r plausible e x planation. Maybe if you have a look at the 'infe re nce ' state m e nt in the C AT pape r, you will unde rstand what I m e an. But I will not conte st you if you still have doubts. I am not ve ry satisfie d e ithe r. Total Gadha

Re: Critical Reasoning Primer- Fact, Inference and Judgment by Niral Kam dar - Saturday, 12 May 2007, 09:38 PM Hi TG, C an u he lp with the answe r for this critical re asoning que stion I am bit confuse d A valid argum e nt is ofte n de fine d as one in which it is not possible for all the pre m ise s to be true and the conclusion false . A circular argum e nt is som e tim e s de fine d as one in which one of the pre m ise s is ide ntical to the conclusion. From the se de finitions we can infe r that... A. Eve ry circular argum e nt is valid as long as its pre m ise s are true . B. Eve ry valid argum e nt is circular. C . No circular argum e nt is valid. D. Som e circular argum e nts are valid, and som e are not. E. Som e circular argum e nts are not valid, and som e valid argum e nts are not circular.

Re: Critical Reasoning Primer- Fact, Inference and Judgment by De e p Think e r Gadha - Sunday, 13 May 2007, 01:11 AM Hi Guru,
Yesterday when i saw this article here and two controversial things came into my mind. First, I encouraged to try to solve and think over these Fact, Inference and Judgement based questions. And Second, I was started to think about time management as nowdays i'm struggling for the time as very much hungry for the same.
However, This article gives a fair idea for thinking on such questions. A nice groundwork strategy. Waiting for the next article ........... Regards, Sandeep

Re: Critical Reasoning Primer- Fact, Inference and Judgment by Total Gadha - Sunday, 13 May 2007, 01:03 PM Hi Niral, I think A is the answe r. In a circular argum e nt, the conclusion is ide ntical to one of the pre m ise s. That m e ans if all the pre m ise s are true the n the conclusion is also true as conclusion is sam e as one of those pre m ise s. The re fore , e ve ry circular argum e nt is a valid argum e nt. Don't look at otion D and E. The state m e nts "Som e X are Y" or "Som e X are NO T y" have no m e aning in logic (syllogism s). Total Gadha

'My frie nd couldn't tak e e x am s be cause he had fe ve r' ....isn't it a fact? 'It raine d ye ste rday be cause of the de pre ssion in bay of be ngl'............it's lk e a fact. Do you mean here we can prove even when because part is not mentioned? the n shuldn't te h se nte nce be lik e this. 'Be cause the old m an staye d indoors all the tim e and did not re ce ive any visitors, no one Would be A BLE to discove r his de ad body for days' if it was "no one discove re d his de ad body for days" he re we can still prove that he was discove re d late ......e ve n without the be cause part................iti's lik e a fact. plz clarify..........

Re: Critical Reasoning Primer- Fact, Inference and Judgment by Total Gadha - Tue sday, 15 May 2007, 01:48 PM Hi Kiran, Fact- The old m an staye d indoors all the tim e and did not re cie ve any visitors. C an you prove why no one discove re d his de ad body without m e ntioning this? Fact- My frie nd had fe ve r. C an you prove why your frie nd didn't tak e the e x am without this inform ation? Fact- The re was a de pre ssion in Bay of Be ngal ye ste rday. C an you prove why it raine d without this info? The point is that the conclusions m ay also be facts (the y have to be as the y are prove n de ductive ly through facts) but the y cannot be standalone state m e nts. The y ne e d anothe r fact to support the m . I think the be tte r way to e x plain is this- if i give you the fact only, you m ay be able to deduce the conclusion. If I te ll you the re was a de pre ssion in the Bay of Be ngal ye ste rday, you m ight be able to re ason de ductive ly, "the n it m ust have raine d ye ste rday.." If I te ll you that your frie nd was sick ye ste rday, you m ight be able to say, "he had an e x am ye ste rday, so he m ust not have tak e n the e x am ..." and so on. And I agre e with your re phrasing of "the old m an and the de ad body.." Total Gadha

Re: Critical Reasoning Primer- Fact, Inference and Judgment by Kunal Gupta - Tue sday, 29 May 2007, 03:53 PM Hi TG Sir, have 1 confusion..
Because we had three wars with our neighboring country, we should keep our armed forced ready for the fourth one. Why this is judgment... why not inference as the fact is : Because we had three wars with our neighboring country and conclusion is we should keep our armed forced ready for the fourth one.
Pls clarify...
Thanks 4 article.. Started at least to think..

Re: Critical Reasoning Primer- Fact, Inference and Judgment by KayBe e Aar - Tue sday, 29 May 2007, 04:44 PM Hi, W at I unde rstood was ..." we
should keep our armed forced ready for the fourth one" is somebody's opinion. That is not a direct conclusion of "Because we had three wars with our neighboring country".
The clue is "we shud"....I might ask "why shud we?"...hence the statement is subject to argument and cannot be verified.

Rephrasing the sentence , Because we had three wars with our neighboring country, our armed force is ready for the fourth one. In the above sentence ..."our armed force is ready for the fourth one" can be true or false..hence can be verified hence it can be an Inference .

Re: Critical Reasoning Primer- Fact, Inference and Judgment by Total Gadha - Tue sday, 29 May 2007, 05:39 PM Hi Kunal and Kaybe e , The point is that if I te ll you the fact, it should give rise to conclusion naturally. He re , the fact that we had thre e wars doe s not give rise to the fact that we will have the fourth war.

Hi TG, Your article on Facts, inferences and judgements really was of great help to me.Same here like others. A small doubt...... The Mid-day Meal scheme has been a significant incentive for the poor to send their little ones to school, thus establishing the vital link between healthy bodies and healthy minds.. We can clearly see the first part of the sentence is a fact and based on the fact a conclusion is drawn that a vital link is established.C an u tell me why is it not an inference ?

Hi TGians, Here is something I wuld love to know. Consider the following statements: a)The decision of the pharma sector to support freebies is welcome. Ans: This obviously is an judgment. I don have a doubt here. b)Some experts feel that the decision of the pharma sector to support freebies is welcome. Ans: This accroding to me is a fact. This is because what these experts feel is not our point of concern. But whether they feel this or not can definitely be verfied. So this must be a fact. c)I feel that the decision of the pharma sector to support freebies is welcome. Ans: NOW>>> this is confusing. Expressing what one feels(that too saying it is welcome) is definitely a judgement(expressin approval). However, instead of jus stating what I feel, if i precede that with a " i feel that" clause, will it become a fact as is the case with "some experts feel......" . Waiting for ur judgements on my inferences abt the above three statements : If i m totally wrong, pl be pateint and crrect me. THanks a lot. AMAZING FORUM THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE>..... .

Hi TG I appreciate ur work on these articles but then , i have few doubts w.r.t the definition of the FACT. Can you please explain me the below sentences? deal with pieces of information that one has heard, seen or read, and which are open to discovery or verification and
A fact will be agreed to by every person. It does not change from person to person.
what i understand is that, the fact if not verified will not be accepted by everyone. IF it is open for verification, that becomes the perception of the person who has experienced it.
please correct me if i am wrong. awaiting for your response! thank you harika

Hi , the article was awesome.I was expecting some CR questions based on similar pattern ( as you promised In the next article ..... I will take up some GMAT critical reasoning questions and dissect arguments step by step.). In my opinion this year again we will have similar kind of CR question which generally appears in GMAT papers . I am trying my best to get those CR question which are generally asked in GMAT. If you could do it on TG that would be of great help. thanks a ton in advance

Re: Critical Reasoning Primer- Fact, Inference and Judgment by nishant she k har - Monday, 29 O ctobe r 2007, 01:27 PM hi TG,
U have mentioned "I found the music very loud " as a fact . Dont u think it shud come under the category of judgement. C an u clarify plzz. and "Even without war, we know that conflicts continue to trouble us- they only change in color." in the above sentence "we know tat" slightly tilts the meaning towards being a FAC T. and Finally , u say : FAC T : Only about 13 million children in the age group of 6 to 14 years are out of school. Judgement : It is estimated that that 30% of Indians live below poverty line. (judgment: if it is an estimate, it cannot be a fact). How do u diffrentiate between the above 2 lines ??? Thankuu before u clarify my doubts , i must thanku a google times for so many useful posts u and Dagny have given us , really a wonderful work .
waiting for ur reply.......

Even without war, we know that conflicts continue to trouble us- they only change in color here the phrase,"we know that" indicates that the statement is a opinion.so it should be judgement.i suppose.let me know if i am wrong.

Hi TG Sir, Please clarify the following doubts: 1) Why can't the following statements be an inference? The Mid-day Meal scheme has been a significant incentive for the poor to send their little ones to school, thus establishing the vital link between healthy bodies and healthy minds. Extensive disarmament is the only insurance for our future; imagine the amount of resources that can be released and redeployed 2) Why can't the following statement be an fact? Red tape leads to corruption and distorts peoples character

Re: Critical Reasoning Primer- Fact, Inference and Judgment by Prashant C hanchal - Saturday, 20 Se pte m be r 2008, 01:00 AM Hello, let me tranna answer your doubt. The statement: the next Olympics will happen in 2012 is a FACT! I guess you're getting things unnecessarily complicated, putting words in your own mouth. We can always verify this statement through various sources / records etc. It may or mayn't be true, once you see this is something VERIFIABLE, stop right there. As per " also, fact is Confined to w hat one observes; cannot be made about the future.." please note the speaker / author is actually just putting forth the statement as
learnt / observed by him from the sources.
