Statement:
Regular exercise is essential for maintaining good cardiovascular health.
Conclusions:
I. People who do not exercise will definitely suffer from heart diseases.
II. A healthy heart requires physical activity.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Neither I nor II follows
D. Both I and II follow
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The statement says exercise is 'essential' (necessary) for good cardiovascular health, which directly supports Conclusion II. It does not state that lack of exercise is the sole cause of heart diseases (people might have bad health without having a specific 'disease'), making Conclusion I an extreme assumption.
