Statements:
1. All actors are handsome.
2. John is handsome.
Conclusions:
I. John is an actor.
II. John is not an actor.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Neither I nor II follows
B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Only conclusion I follows
D. Either I or II follows
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
John is in the 'handsome' category, but we do not know if he is inside the 'actor' sub-category or outside it. Therefore, neither is definite. However, since he must either be an actor or not an actor, the 'either/or' condition applies.
Statement: If you want to earn interest rate every second month then you can use our banking services.
Conclusions:
I. Banks have planned to give interest rates at different time periods.
II. Customers are given separate interest rates.
Explanation:
Conclusion I follows because offering a scheme with interest every second month indicates a plan to provide interest at varied time intervals. Conclusion II is not supported; the advertisement does not claim separate rates for different customers.
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?
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).
