Question #100
Statement: Children love ice cream. Conclusions: I. Ice cream is the only thing children love. II. Some children may dislike ice cream.
A. Both I and II follow
B. Neither I nor II follows
C. Only II follows
D. Only I follows
Discuss
Get Complete Subject PDF for Reasoning

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:
I is too absolute. II contradicts the statement; 'children love ice cream' as a general statement doesn't allow 'some may dislike' if it's a universal claim. If it's taken as all children, then II contradicts; if it's a generic statement, II still cannot be deduced. Typically in reasoning, such a statement means 'all children', so II does not follow. Neither follows.
