Question #1
Statement:
The price of petrol has increased globally; hence, inflation in the country will rise.
Conclusions:

II. The country imports petrol from the global market.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Both I and II follow
B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Neither I nor II follows
D. Only conclusion I follows

Correct Answer: Option A

Question #2
Statements:
1. No A is B.
2. Some B are C.

I. Some C are not A.
II. Some A are not C.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Both I and II follow
B. Only conclusion I follows
C. Only conclusion II follows
D. Neither I nor II follows

Correct Answer: Option B


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.
