Statement: About 50% of animal by products, hair, skin, horn etc. is edible protein. Indian chemists have developed a method of isolating 45% of this protein. They used an enzyme developed in Japan to break down soya protein. Conclusions: I. Indian have not been able to develop enzymes. II. If an economically feasible process is developed there would be plenty of edible protein available. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Statement: About 50% of animal by products, hair, skin, horn etc. is edible protein. Indian chemists have developed a method of isolating 45% of this protein. They used an enzyme developed in Japan to break down soya protein.
Conclusions:
I. Indian have not been able to develop enzymes.
II. If an economically feasible process is developed there would be plenty of edible protein available.
A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Both conclusions I and II follow
C. Only conclusion II follows
D. Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Conclusion I does not follow because using an enzyme developed in Japan does not imply Indians cannot develop enzymes. Conclusion II is not directly supported; the statement only mentions isolation of protein, not about economic feasibility leading to plenty of protein.

Question #2
Statements:
1. No A is B.
2. Some B are C.
Conclusions:
I. Some C are not A.
II. Some A are not C.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Both I and II follow
C. Neither I nor II follows
D. Only conclusion II follows

Correct Answer: Option A


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.
