Question
Statement: From all available cultural records, it is evident that even in ancient India, both the masters and disciples valued not the quantity but the quality of knowledge.
Conclusions:
I. Giving importance to quantity of knowledge is meaningless.

D. Only conclusion I follows
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Conclusion I follows as valuing quality over quantity implies giving importance only to quantity is meaningless. Conclusion II does not follow; while both valued quality, this does not establish a complete identity of all educational values.

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:
Since some cups are plates, and no plates are spoons, the portion of cups that are plates can never be spoons. Thus, some cups are definitely not spoons (Conclusion I). However, we do not know about all cups, so we cannot definitively say no cup is a spoon (Conclusion II).
