Question

Read the give statement(s) and conclusions carefully and select which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements(s).

Statement:

Recent research says listening to specific types of frequencies have a positive effect on human brain and it aids in healing.

Conclusion:

I. Human brain responds to music.

II. Certain frequencies are used to heal diseases in human body.

• A. Both the conclusions follow.
• B. Neither conclusion follows.
• C. Only conclusion I follows.
• D. Only conclusion II follows.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Only conclusion II follows.

Solution: The statement only talks about specific types of frequencies. Though music is a type of frequency, we cannot be certain that this is the type mentioned in the statement. Therefore, the conclusion that the human brain responds to music is possible but not definite. Thus, conclusion I does not follow. The statement says that specific type of frequencies aid in the healing of problems related to the human brain. As the brain is an internal organ of the human body, it is safe to conclude that these frequencies are used to heal diseases (at least related to the brain) in human body. Therefore, conclusion II follows. Hence, only conclusion II follows.
