Question

Directions: One statement is given, followed by two conclusions, I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true, even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You are to decide which of the given conclusions can be definitely drawn from the given statement.

Statement: Polaris is the brightest star in the Ursa Minor constellation.

Conclusions:

I. Polaris is brighter than any other star in the sky.

II. There are only a few bright stars in the constellation.

• A. Only conclusion I is true.
• B. Only conclusion II is true.
• C. Either I or II is true.
• D. Neither I nor II is true.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Neither I nor II is true.

Solution: Answer: option D. Neither I nor II is true. The statement only compares the Polaris with the stars in the Ursa Minor constellation. Hence, conclusion I is not correct. It is not possible to derive the count of the number of bright stars in the constellation from the statement. Hence, conclusion II is not correct.
