Logical Analysis of Statement: 'Well Done' vs 'Well Said'
Statement Analysis
The core statement is: "A 'well done' is better than a 'well said'." This establishes a comparison, valuing action ('well done') over mere words ('well said'). It implies that actions have greater significance or impact.
Conclusion Analysis
Let's analyze each conclusion based on the statement:
-
Conclusion L: "One must say 'well done' to people when they do something good."
The statement compares the value of action versus speech. It does not mandate or prescribe any specific action, such as telling people 'well done'. While the statement suggests actions are important, it doesn't create an obligation to praise them verbally. Therefore, conclusion L does not directly follow.
-
Conclusion M: "Actions leave greater impact on others than speeches."
The statement "A 'well done' is better than a 'well said'" directly supports this conclusion. 'Well done' symbolizes action, and 'well said' symbolizes speech. The statement explicitly states that the former ('well done'/action) is superior to the latter ('well said'/speech), implying a greater impact or value. Thus, conclusion M logically follows.
Final Decision
Based on the analysis, only Conclusion M is a direct logical inference from the provided statement.

Passage - 1 India's economic footprint, given its population, still remains small compared to the US, the European Union or China. It has much to learn from other economies, yet must implement solutions that fit its unique circumstances. India especially needs an effective long-term regulatory system based on collaboration rather than the ' current top-down approach. Regulations seek desirable outcomes yet are repeatedly used as political tools to push one agenda or another. Often, regulations fail to consider impacts on jobs and economic growth — or less restrictive alternatives. Regulations may be used to protect local markets at the expense of more widely shared prosperity in the future. Additionally, regulations inevitably result in numerous unintended consequences. In today's hyper competitive global economy, regulations need to be viewed as "weapons" that seek cost-justified social and environmental benefits while improving the economic well-being of most citizens.
Which one of the following is the most logical, rational and crucial inference that can be derived from the above passage ?
