Q1:

Statements: Players who break various records in a fair way get special prizes. Player X broke the world record but was found to be under the influence of a prohibited drug. Conclusions:
  1. X will get the special prize.
  2. X will not get the special prize.

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:B - Only conclusion II follows

Explanation: Clearly, X will not get the special prize because although he broke the world record, he was found to use unfair means. So, II follows while I does not.
