Statement: Cats are carnivores. Conclusions: I. Some cats eat fish. II. All carnivores are cats.
A. Only I follows
B. Only II follows
C. Neither I nor II follows
D. Both I and II follow
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
I: fish is meat, so it's plausible, but the statement doesn't guarantee it; some cats may not eat fish. II is a reverse error. Neither follows logically from the given statement.
Statement:
The literacy rate in the state has increased by 15% over the last decade due to government initiatives.
Conclusions:
I. The government's initiatives were effective in promoting education.
II. The state had a very low literacy rate ten years ago.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The statement directly attributes the increase to government initiatives, meaning they were effective (I). However, an increase of 15% doesn't tell us the starting point; it could have increased from 70% to 85%, which is not 'very low'. Thus, II does not follow.
Explanation:
Profit increase implies better performance compared to previous year, so I follows. Reason (reduced expenses) is not stated, so II does not follow.
