Statement: Good health is a luxury in country 'P' where rate of death is very high compared to other nations of that region.
Conclusions:
I. People in country 'P' cannot afford to have many luxuries of life.
II. Good health is a gift of the nature.
A. Only conclusion II follows
B. Neither conclusion I nor II follows
C. Both conclusions I and II follow
D. Only conclusion I follows
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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).

Question #1
Statement:
If India wins the match, a public holiday will be declared.
Conclusions:
I. India won the match, so a public holiday was declared.
II. A public holiday was declared, so India must have won the match.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow from the given rule?
A. Both I and II follow
B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Neither I nor II follows
D. Only conclusion I follows

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The statement represents 'If A then B' (A implies B). Therefore, if A happens, B definitely happens (Conclusion I). However, B could happen for other reasons (e.g., a festival), so B does not necessarily imply A (Conclusion II is a logical fallacy known as affirming the consequent).

A. Both I and II follow
B. Only I follows

Explanation:
Eldest son implies there are other children (younger), so I follows. Only one son is false if he is eldest among sons. So II does not follow.
