You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.Give answer:
  • (A) If only conclusion I follows
  • (B) If only conclusion II follows
  • (C) If either I or II follows
  • (D) If neither I nor II follows and
  • (E) If both I and II follow.
Q1:

Statements: My first and foremost task is to beautify this city - if city X and Y can do it - why can't we do it. - Statement of Municipal Commissioner of city Z after taking over charge. Conclusions:
  1. The people of city Z are not aware about the present state of ugliness of their city.
  2. The present Commissioner has worked in city X and Y and has good experience of beautifying cities.

A Only conclusion I follows

B Only conclusion II follows

C Either I or II follows

D Neither I nor II follows

E Both I and II follow

ANS:D - Neither I nor II follows

Explanation: The Commissioner only cites examples of cities X and Y and undertakes to beautify city Z. This does not imply that he has worked in cities X and Y. So, I do not follow. Also, nothing about people's response to the state of the city can be deduced from the statement. Thus, II also does not follow.
