Statement: After collision of two vessels in the sea all the crewmen and passengers are declared as missing - A news report.
Conclusions:
I. No one from the two vessels has survived after the collision.
II. A few persons from the two vessels may have survived and are missing.
Explanation:
Conclusion I follows because 'declared missing' in such contexts implies no survivors have been found, so it can be concluded that no one survived. Conclusion II is contradictory; if some may have survived, they would not all be declared missing without hope.
Statement: Most of the Bihari Boys are attracted towards govt. services.
Conclusions:
I. In Bihar jobs in private sector are less.
II. There is no attraction towards govt. services in boys of other states.
Explanation:
Neither conclusion follows. The statement does not give any reason for the attraction, so I cannot be inferred. It also makes no claim about boys of other states, so II does not follow.
