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: This book 'Z' is the only book which focuses its attention to the problem of poverty in India between 1950 and 1980.


Conclusions:



  1. There was no question of poverty before 1950.

  2. No other book deals with poverty in India during 1950 to 1980.

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 B
The phrase 'only book' in the statement makes II implicit. However, nothing about the state of poverty before 1950 can be deduced from the statement. So, I does not follow.
