Question

Read the given statement(s) and conclusions carefully and select which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statement(s)

A job advertisement states: “Suitable candidates with maximum age of 30 years can apply.”

Conclusions:

I. No candidate who is more than 30 years old can apply

II. The company is specific about the age group of candidates.

• A. Both the conclusion follows.
• B. Only conclusion II follows
• C. Only conclusion I follows
• D. No conclusion follows

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Both the conclusion follows.

Solution: According to the given information, Conclusion I: This follows because it is mentioned in the statement that candidates with a maximum age of 30 years can apply. So, anyone who is more than 30 years old will be ineligible for applying. Conclusion II: Maximum age of 30 years means that eligible candidates should belong to the age group of "below 30 years". Thus, the second conclusion is valid. Hence, “both conclusions” follow.
