Statement: India won the cricket match by 5 wickets. Conclusions: I. The opponent team lost all wickets. II. India chased the target successfully.
A. Neither I nor II follows
B. Only I follows
C. Only II follows
D. Both I and II follow
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Winning by 5 wickets implies India achieved the target with 5 wickets in hand; the opponent's wickets are irrelevant. So I does not follow, II follows.
Statement:
The price of petrol has increased globally; hence, inflation in the country will rise.
Conclusions:
I. Petrol prices directly impact inflation in the country.
II. The country imports petrol from the global market.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The statement draws a direct cause-and-effect link between global petrol prices and domestic inflation, making Conclusion I valid. Furthermore, this link implies the country's economy is tied to global petrol prices, which logically implies it imports or relies on global petrol (Conclusion II).
Explanation:
Since some B are C, and no B is A, the portion of C that is B can never be A. Thus, some C are definitely not A (Conclusion I). However, we do not know if the rest of A interacts with the rest of C, so Conclusion II does not follow.
