Statement:
Reading books improves vocabulary and enhances imagination.
Conclusions:
I. People who do not read books have poor vocabulary.
II. A person with a good imagination definitely reads books.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Both I and II follow
C. Neither I nor II follows
D. Only conclusion II follows
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The statement identifies reading as one way to improve vocabulary and imagination. It does not state it is the *only* way. People might improve vocabulary or imagination through other means. Therefore, neither conclusion strictly follows.
Statement: On metro section of railways, the motormen are frequently required to do overtime during May and June though all vacancies are completely filled as per requirement of this section.
Conclusions:
I. Many motormen take leave of shorter or longer duration during this period.
II. Some motormen desire to earn overtime whenever possible.
Explanation:
Neither conclusion follows. Overtime could be due to increased workload, not necessarily leave. The statement does not discuss motormen's desire to earn overtime.
Statements:
1. All men are mortal.
2. Socrates is a man.
Conclusions:
I. Socrates is mortal.
II. All mortals are men.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
Since Socrates falls within the category of 'man', and the entire category of 'man' falls within 'mortal', Socrates must be mortal (I follows). Not all mortals are men (e.g., animals), which makes II false.
