Question

In each question below is given 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 answer:



  • (A) If only conclusion I follows

  • (B) If only conclusion II follows

  • (C) If either I or II follows

  • (D) If neither I nor II follows and

  • (E) If both I and II follow.




Statements: All those political prisoners were released on bail who had gone to jail for reasons other than political dharnas. Bail was not granted to persons involved in murders.


Conclusions:



  1. No political - prisoner had committed murder.

  2. Some politicians were not arrested.

Options:
A .  Only conclusion I follows
B .  Only conclusion II follows
C .  Either I or II follows
D .  Neither I nor II follows
E .  Both I and II follow
Answer: Option A
According to the statement, the political prisoners can be divided into two groups - those who were released and those who were put in jail for political dharnas. However, no person involved in murder was released. This means that no political prisoner had committed murder. So, I follows. Clearly, II is not directly related to the statement and does not follow.
