IEMCET BBA/BCA aptitude preparation: Reading inferences and evidence — practice worksheet with answers

How to use this worksheet

This independent worksheet checks reading inferences and evidence with a new problem, an explanation task and an interleaved related skill. It is not an official IEM question paper, a difficulty forecast or a prescribed timed examination.

Write an attempt first, then compare your method with the visible answers. Record whether a miss came from interpretation, a missing concept, execution or a condition you overlooked.

Question 1: apply the topic

The passage says all registered participants received a link. Can you infer a registered participant received one?

Answer and checking point

Yes, under the passage's stated universal claim.

Return to the wording and test the proposed answer. Check the base of a percentage, the weights in an average and the units in a rate. For language tasks, verify agreement and context without adding facts the passage never supplies.

Question 2: diagnose an approach

Explain why the following warning matters and identify the correction it calls for: A plausible real-world assumption is not automatically an inference supported by a particular passage.

Model checkpoint: An inference must be supported by the passage, even when its wording differs from the passage's sentences. Governing rule: Separate what the text states, what it supports and what it leaves unknown.

Question 3: transfer to ratios and proportional division

Divide 840 in the ratio 3:4.

Answer: Seven parts give 120 each; the shares are 360 and 480.

This is an interleaved related-skill task, not a claim that the two topics have identical methods. Explain which idea changes when switching from the main topic to this one.

Review the attempt

Separate correct answers reached with a justified method from lucky guesses. Rework missed steps without looking at the answer, then use a fresh problem from an appropriate primary textbook or official paper. Do not use a small worksheet result as an admission cutoff, rank or readiness guarantee.
