Question
Statement: After collision of two vessels in the sea all the crewmen and passengers are declared as missing - A news report.
Conclusions:
I. No one from the two vessels has survived after the collision.
II. A few persons from the two vessels may have survived and are missing.
A. Neither conclusion I nor II follows
B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Only conclusion I follows
D. Both conclusions I and II follow
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Conclusion I follows because 'declared missing' in such contexts implies no survivors have been found, so it can be concluded that no one survived. Conclusion II is contradictory; if some may have survived, they would not all be declared missing without hope.

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:
All cats are lions, and no dog is a cat. This means dogs cannot enter the 'cat' portion of the 'lion' circle. Therefore, those lions which are cats are definitely not dogs (Conclusion II). However, dogs could still overlap with the non-cat portion of lions, so Conclusion I does not follow.

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:
Both conclusions follow. If good health itself is a luxury, it implies people lack many basic luxuries (I). Describing good health as a luxury also implies it is not naturally given to all, i.e., it is a gift of nature that not everyone receives (II).
