I think option A is closer? The sentence imply that there is a relationship between hard work and exam.

I also think option d is correct one. It is the only if statement when there is no cause, no effect eill be there.

I think option B is correct because...it give a postive tone.....regarding option D... I dont think it is correct because one can sometimes pass by smart work also.....you people get what I mean.

Definitely a hard working person is satisfied, so its 'd'.

If X implies Y then it is not necessary that Y implies X. This is one of the most basic rules of Verbal Reasoning. I personally think A is the correct answer as it is the best inference drawn from the given statement. B is purely subjective, as the statement does not say anything about hard workers always making it.

I think option B is the closest according to the given statement. Their is simply no explanation for the answer given, this only increases the confusion. I suggest they should give proper explanations to these kind of questions to help us.

D is correct.

A is incorrect because exam is not related to hard work but "pass" exam is related to hard work. The exam itself has no relation.

B is incorrect because of "all" which is misunderstood. The statement does not reference anything to "all" will pass just because they work hard. It is more of a possibility to pass if you work hard. Using "all" is irrelevant.

C & E is incorrect because one statement either mentions anxiety while the other satisfied person, which in no one has anything to do with the statement above.

What follows, D is left and logically is the best choice.

The statement means that if you work hard you can be certain to pass but it does not imply that without hard work you won't pass hence option B.
