Directions: In the question given below, a passage is given followed by three statements that may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct statements that can be inferred. A study using Office of National Statistics data has ranked 20 of the most popular courses according to the level of salary graduates are likely to be on five years after leaving university. Unsurprisingly, medicine and dentistry are at the top of the list when it comes to earning potential with graduates earning some £47,300 per annum. But some unexpected entries lower down on the list include law - which could see graduates taking home a relatively modest £25,200, only marginally more than those who have teaching degrees. The current average UK salary is £27,600 per year. I. Students opting for medicine and dentistry can be expected to earn more than the current average salary. II . The average salary of teachers in UK is less than the current average salary in UK. III. Only doctors and dentists earn more than the current average salary in UK.
Only I and II
Analysing Graduate Salaries and Average UK Salary
The passage provides information from a study using Office of National Statistics (ONS) data, ranking 20 popular university courses based on the expected salary of graduates five years after leaving university. It gives specific salary figures for medicine and dentistry graduates, law graduates, and indicates the relative salary for teaching degree graduates. It also provides the current average UK salary.
Evaluating Statement I: Medicine and Dentistry Graduates vs. Average Salary
Statement I says: "Students opting for medicine and dentistry can be expected to earn more than the current average salary."
According to the passage:
- Graduates from medicine and dentistry earn approximately £47,300 per annum five years after graduating.
- The current average UK salary is £27,600 per year.
Comparing these figures, £47,300 is clearly greater than £27,600. Therefore, it can be inferred from the passage that students opting for medicine and dentistry are likely to earn more than the current average UK salary.
Statement I is inferable.
Evaluating Statement II: Teaching Graduates vs. Average Salary
Statement II says: "The average salary of teachers in UK is less than the current average salary in UK."
According to the passage:
- Law graduates earn approximately £25,200.
- Law graduates earn "only marginally more than those who have teaching degrees."
- This implies that graduates with teaching degrees earn slightly less than £25,200.
- The current average UK salary is £27,600.
Since teaching degree graduates earn less than £25,200, and £25,200 is less than £27,600, it follows that teaching degree graduates earn less than the current average UK salary. Therefore, this statement can be inferred.
Statement II is inferable.
Evaluating Statement III: Exclusivity of High Earners
Statement III says: "Only doctors and dentists earn more than the current average salary in UK."
The passage states that medicine and dentistry are at the top of the list of the 20 most popular courses regarding earning potential. It provides the specific earnings for graduates of these two fields, law, and indicates the relative position of teaching.
However, the passage only focuses on 20 popular courses. It does not provide salary information for all possible university courses or professions in the UK. The statement claims that only doctors and dentists earn more than the average UK salary. The passage provides no information to support this exclusive claim. There could be graduates from other courses (not in the list of 20) or individuals in professions not requiring a university degree who also earn more than the average UK salary.
Therefore, this statement cannot be inferred from the information given in the passage.
Statement III is not inferable.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis, only Statement I and Statement II can be inferred from the provided passage.
