Q1:

Statements: To cultivate interest in reading, the school has made it compulsory from June this year for each student to read two books per week and submit a weekly report on the books. Conclusions:
  1. Interest in reading can be created by force.
  2. Some students will eventually develop interest in reading.

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, the new scheme intends to develop interest in reading by incorporating the habit in their routine. So, only II follows while I does not.
