Statement:
If you work hard, you will succeed in the examination.
Conclusions:
I. Hard work is a sufficient condition for success in the examination.
II. Without hard work, one cannot succeed in the examination.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Both I and II follow
C. Neither I nor II follows
D. Only conclusion II follows
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The statement is an 'If A then B' proposition. It means hard work guarantees success (I follows). However, it does not state 'Only if you work hard', meaning there could be other ways to succeed (e.g., being naturally brilliant). Thus, II does not logically follow.
