My neighbouring mall sells a book for Rs. 500, but it is available at a mall a half-hour walk away for Rs. 350. I walk half an hour to buy the book. On a different day, I want to buy a suit which is available at these malls at Rs. 5000 and Rs. 4850 respectively. I will walk half an hour to buy the suit.

Correct answer: True. This is a consistency-in-reasoning item: in both cases the absolute saving from walking half an hour is identical — Rs. 150 (500−350 for the book, 5000−4850 for the suit). Since you already demonstrated you're willing to spend half an hour of walking to save Rs. 150 once, logical consistency says you'd make the same trade-off again for the same Rs. 150 saving, regardless of the item's total price. The statement doesn't claim the percentage saved matters, only whether you'd walk — and by the same logic used for the book, you would.
