Statement:
All employees of this company are highly educated.
Conclusions:
I. The company only hires individuals with advanced degrees.
II. An uneducated person cannot be an employee of this company.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The statement says all current employees are highly educated, which implies an uneducated person is not among them (Conclusion II follows). However, 'highly educated' does not necessarily mean 'advanced degrees' (Ph.D., Master's, etc.), so Conclusion I is an over-assumption.
Statement: The eligibility for admission to the course is minimum second class Master's degree. However, the candidates who have appeared for the final year examination of Master's degree can also apply.
Conclusions:
I. All candidates who have yet to get their Master's degree will be there in the list of selected candidates.
II. All candidates having obtained second class Master's degree will be there in the list of selected candidates.
Explanation:
Both conclusions follow if we interpret 'list of selected candidates' as the list of eligible applicants. Those who have appeared for final year and those with a second class Master's are both eligible to apply, hence they will be in the eligible list.
