Question

The statements given below are followed by two conclusions labelled I and II. Without resolving anything yourself, choose the conclusion which logically follows from the given statement.

Statements:

Most of the advocates are hard working.

Manoj is advocate.

Conclusion I: Manoj is politician.

Conclusion II:Some advocates do not work hard.

• A. Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
• B. Only conclusion II follows
• C. Both conclusion I and II follow
• D. Only conclusion I follow

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Only conclusion II follows

Solution: The statement II mentions that Manoj is advocate but whether he is also a politician or not it can’t be concluded from the statement II. Thus, conclusion I does not follow. Statement I mentions that most of the advocates are hard working which means that not all advocates are hard working. So, it can be concluded from the statement I that some advocates do not work hard. Thus, conclusion II follows. Hence, only conclusion II follows.
