Statement:
If you work hard, you will succeed in the examination.
Conclusions:
I. Hard work is a sufficient condition for success in the examination.
II. Without hard work, one cannot succeed in the examination.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Neither I nor II follows
B. Both I and II follow
C. Only conclusion I follows
D. Only conclusion II follows
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The statement is an 'If A then B' proposition. It means hard work guarantees success (I follows). However, it does not state 'Only if you work hard', meaning there could be other ways to succeed (e.g., being naturally brilliant). Thus, II does not logically follow.
