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. Neither conclusion I nor II follows
B. Only conclusion I follows
C. Both conclusions I and II follow
D. Only conclusion II 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).
