Choose the option that best expresses the meaning of the word 'Corollary'.
- (a)Something that is too expensive
- (b)Something that looks real but does not really exist
- (c)Something that naturally follows
- (d)Something resembling a coal mine
Correct — C, 'something that naturally follows'. A 'corollary' is a statement or consequence that follows naturally and directly from something already proved or stated — common in logic and mathematics, where a corollary follows from a theorem. Option C states this precisely.
- (a)Something that is too expensive — That describes 'exorbitant' or 'costly'; it is unrelated to a logical consequence.
- (b)Something that looks real but does not really exist — That is an 'illusion' or 'mirage'; a corollary is a genuine logical consequence, not a false appearance.
- (d)Something resembling a coal mine — A trap that plays on the sound 'coll-' / 'coal'; it has no connection to the meaning of 'corollary'.
A 'corollary' is a statement or result that follows naturally, and with little further proof, from something already established.

In mathematics, a statement that follows immediately from a proved theorem is called a —
- (a)corollary
- (b)hypothesis
- (c)paradox
- (d)fallacy
Answer(a) corollary — a direct consequence of the theorem.
- practice — not a real PYQ

Answer(a) consequence — that which naturally follows.
