Statement: Those hilly areas will be declared backward where forest area does not exist.
Conclusions:
I. Hilly forest areas are not backward.
II. In backward areas hills are without forest.
A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Neither conclusion I nor II follows
C. Only conclusion II follows
D. Both conclusions I and II follow
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Conclusion I follows: if a hilly area lacks forest, it is declared backward; therefore, hilly areas with forest are not declared backward. Conclusion II does not follow because the statement only defines a condition for declaring backwardness, not that all backward areas are hilly and without forest.
Statement:
The literacy rate in the state has increased by 15% over the last decade due to government initiatives.
Conclusions:
I. The government's initiatives were effective in promoting education.
II. The state had a very low literacy rate ten years ago.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The statement directly attributes the increase to government initiatives, meaning they were effective (I). However, an increase of 15% doesn't tell us the starting point; it could have increased from 70% to 85%, which is not 'very low'. Thus, II does not follow.
Statement: The company announced a bonus for all employees. Conclusions: I. Every employee will receive extra money. II. The company had a profitable year.
Explanation:
Bonus means extra pay, so I follows. Profitability is a common reason but not logically guaranteed; they could give bonus even in loss to retain talent. So II does not follow.
