Question
Directions: In each of the questions given below, there is a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.
Give your answer: (a) If only conclusion I follows (b) If only conclusion it follows (c) If either I or II follows (d) If neither I nor II follows (e) If both I and II follow.
- Statement:
- Prostitution is also one of the main reasons for AIDS.
- Conclusions:
- I. AIDS is an incurable disease.
- II. AIDS cannot be completely controlled by banning prostitution only.
Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
Prostitution is not the only reason for AIDS. It is one of main reasons of this disease. Hence, banning only prostitution cannot work 100% to control this disease. It means other factors must be considered also.
Therefore, II is a valid conclusion. Conclusion I is invalid as it has not been discussed in the statement that AIDS is curable or not.
