Statement: If you work hard, you will pass. Conclusions: I. You passed, therefore you worked hard. II. You did not work hard, therefore you did not pass.
A. Neither I nor II follows
B. Only II follows
C. Only I follows
D. Both I and II follow
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
This is a conditional statement. I is affirming the consequent (fallacy). II is denying the antecedent (fallacy). Neither follows logically.
Explanation:
Since some A are C, and all A are inside B, the intersection of A and C must also be inside B, meaning some B are C (I). 'Some A are C' directly implies its reverse 'Some C are A' (II). Both follow.
