Statement:
The old order changed yielding place to new.
Conclusions:
I. Change is the law of nature.
II. Discard old ideas because they are old.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion II follows
B. Only conclusion I follows
C. Both I and II follow
D. Neither I nor II follows
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The statement reflects a philosophical truth that old things are eventually replaced by new things, reflecting the law of continuous change (I). However, it does not prescribe actively discarding ideas *just* because they are old (II).
Statement:
Despite heavy security, a theft occurred in the museum.
Conclusions:
I. The security guards were involved in the theft.
II. Heavy security is not a 100% guarantee against theft.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The statement simply states a fact that theft occurred despite security. Assuming guard involvement (I) is speculation. However, it logically proves that heavy security does not entirely eliminate the possibility of theft (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.
