Statement:
A warning on a cigarette packet: 'Smoking is injurious to health.'
Conclusions:
I. Non-smokers have perfect health.
II. The warning is intended to make people aware of the dangers of smoking.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion II follows
B. Only conclusion I follows
C. Neither I nor II follows
D. Both I and II follow
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The statement does not mean smoking is the *only* thing injurious to health, so non-smokers might get sick from other causes (Conclusion I is false). The explicit purpose of placing a warning is to inform/warn people (Conclusion II follows).
Statement:
The meteorology department has predicted heavy rainfall and thunderstorms for the next 48 hours.
Conclusions:
I. Citizens should carry umbrellas when going out.
II. Flights might get delayed or cancelled.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
Both conclusions are logical inferences based on the prediction of severe weather. Carrying an umbrella is a logical precaution, and severe thunderstorms logically impact aviation schedules.
