Question

Read the statement below along with two conclusions.

Statement: Naina looks at Sunita and compliments her looks.

Conclusions:

I. Sunita is more beautiful than Naina

II. Naina is impressed by Sunita’s dressing sense

Which conclusion(s) follow (s) the given statement?

• A. Conclusion I alone follows
• B. Neither I nor II follows
• C. Both the conclusions follow
• D. Conclusion II alone follows

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Neither I nor II follows

Solution: The statement does not provide any information to compare the looks of Naina and Sunita. Therefore, conclusion I does not follow. Naina compliments Sunita for her ‘looks’. In this context, ‘Looks’ means appearance. Appearance can be related to the person’s facial expressions, hair, skin tone, clothes etc. Thus, it need not be exactly the dressing sense of Sunita that impressed Naina. Therefore, conclusion II does not follow. Hence, neither I nor II follows.
