Statement:
All employees of this company are highly educated.
Conclusions:
I. The company only hires individuals with advanced degrees.
II. An uneducated person cannot be an employee of this company.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Both I and II follow
C. Neither I nor II follows
D. Only conclusion II follows
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The statement says all current employees are highly educated, which implies an uneducated person is not among them (Conclusion II follows). However, 'highly educated' does not necessarily mean 'advanced degrees' (Ph.D., Master's, etc.), so Conclusion I is an over-assumption.
Statement:
Regular exercise is essential for maintaining good cardiovascular health.
Conclusions:
I. People who do not exercise will definitely suffer from heart diseases.
II. A healthy heart requires physical activity.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The statement says exercise is 'essential' (necessary) for good cardiovascular health, which directly supports Conclusion II. It does not state that lack of exercise is the sole cause of heart diseases (people might have bad health without having a specific 'disease'), making Conclusion I an extreme assumption.
Explanation:
Eldest son implies there are other children (younger), so I follows. Only one son is false if he is eldest among sons. So II does not follow.
