SSC Stenographer 2026 PYQ — Question 88

SSC Stenographer - 10 Sep 2026 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q88

Statement: Many students are unable to score well in mathematics.
Conclusions:
I. Mathematics is a difficult subject.
II. The teaching methods in mathematics need improvement.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Conclusion I: Calling mathematics a inherently difficult subject is a generalization. Inability to score well does not necessarily make the subject itself difficult. Hence, Conclusion I does not follow.
Conclusion II: Since many students are facing difficulty in scoring well, it indicates that current instructional approaches may not be sufficiently effective and require improvement to enhance student comprehension. Hence, Conclusion II logically follows.
Therefore, Only Conclusion II follows.
