Section III
Condition/Result
Each question has a conditional statement followed by a result statements.
If condition result, then condition is sufficient and
If result
condition, then condition is necessary
If condition is necessary as well as sufficient for the result,
mark (A)
If condition is necessary but not sufficient for the result,
mark (B)
If condition is sufficient but not necessary for the result,
mark (C)
If neither necessary nor sufficient for the result,
mark (D)
Consider the following example :
Condition :
a > 0, b > 0
Result :
a+b>0
Here, if a > 0 and b > 0, then it always implies that a + b is positive but if a + b is positive, then
a and b both need not to be positive. So condition implies result but result does not always implies
condition hence condition is sufficient but not necessary for the result to be hold. So answer is C.

f (x) is manyone
