Statement:
The government has increased taxes on luxury cars to boost revenue.
Conclusions:
I. Luxury cars will become more expensive for buyers.
II. Revenue of the government will definitely increase.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion II follows
B. Both I and II follow
C. Neither I nor II follows
D. Only conclusion I follows
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Increasing taxes on a product directly increases its final cost to the buyer, so I follows. However, an increase in tax does not guarantee an increase in overall revenue, as sales volume might drop significantly. Therefore, II is not a definite conclusion.

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.
