Question #2
Statements:
1. No cat is a dog.
2. No dog is a rat.
Conclusions:
I. No cat is a rat.
II. Some cats are rats.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Either I or II follows
D. Neither I nor II follows

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:

Question #3
Statement:
Quality has a price tag. India is allocating plenty of funds to education.
Conclusions:
I. Quality of education in India would improve.
II. Funding alone can enhance the quality of education.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion II follows
B. Neither I nor II follows
C. Only conclusion I follows
D. Both I and II follow

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The statement sets up a correlation between price (funds) and quality. If India is allocating funds to education, it logically follows that the intended quality would improve (I). However, the statement doesn't claim funding *alone* is sufficient without proper execution (II does not follow).
