Logical Reasoning - Statement and Conclusion - Discussion

It's a HIGH ORDER THINKING QUESTION.

A. Keshav had invited Manmohan for some other function.
Cannot be 'A' as not mentioned anything about invitation.

B. Manmohan, being a religious man, went to Keshav's house uninvited.
Cannot be 'B' as not mentioned anything about being religious of Manmohan.

C. In Keshav's house, 'puja' was performed.

During 'puja days' it is not necessary that there will be puja at Keshav's house.
and it is not mentioned that there is puja in house.

D. Manmohan was invited by Keshav.
Not mentioned about any invitation.

So, best answer could be 'C' according a normal human brain.

But there is slightly more possibility of being Manmohan was invited because Option B is wrong as Manmohan cannot go uninvited.

So , Correct answer would be D.

It is mentioned in the instruction that we do not have to resolve anything on our own.

Maybe Manmohan went to Keshav's house to make a point as stated in the question. So, D in my opinion can not be a right answer.

Moreover, option C says that Puja was performed in Keshav's house, it also does not points out that Manmohan went to his house as puja was performed there. Question only says that it was puja days not that puja was performed in Keshav's house. Even if it were puja performed in Keshav's house does not necessarily provoke Manmohan to visit there.

@Sanjoy Daw.

I disagree with option D means "Manmohan was invited by Keshav" is wrong that implies he was uninvited but the statement says he went to his house anyway, so if one disagrees with option D then they have to go with option B as a correct answer that is "Manmohan, being a religious man, went to Keshav's house uninvited. ".

So according to me, options B and D can depend on the situation while C can exist independently that is "In Keshav's house, 'puja' was performed. ".

So for that reason, C should be the answer.

That's what I thought as well. And I still think so too.
However, D would have been the right answer if it would have been framed something like -'Manmohan might have been invited my Keshav' because we don't know for sure whether he was invited or not.
And we directly cannot assume that he was invited regardless of the fact that Manmohan and Keshav are 'Official colleagues'.

But C also seems right basing on the section of the passage that says people make it a pont to visit those houses with or without the invitation.

Therefore I still think C is right because for all we know that Keshav's house performed the Puja and its where Monmohan caught the day from. Not sure if he was or not invited.

Logically option D is more strong.

Because neither it is given puja was performed in Keshav's house nor Manmohan was invited by Keshav.

Now, option D would be the best answer because it also covers option C that is Manmohan may be invited by Keshav because of some puja in his house or simply for official work.

Option C is correct.

Because it is clearly mentioned that people only visit those house where puja is performe during the puja. If he visited Keshav house. Then it clear that puja is performed in Keshav house and there is no talk of invitation. So, option C is more appropriate.

Option C is the right answer. Because it is written there that people often go to the houses where they are not invited "They make it a point to go even if they are not invited".

Therefore, Option C is the best choice.

In option B though Manmohan did not go to Keshav's house uninvited. So sure Keshav invited Manmohan. If you disagree with option B then you must follow option D. So, I think in that sense option D is correct.

In option B though Manmohan did not go to Keshav's house uninvited. So sure Keshav invited Manmohan. If you disagree with option B then you must follow option D. So, I think in that sense option D is correct.
