Statement: Money plays a vital role in politics.
Conclusion I: The poor can never become politicians.
Conclusion II: All the rich men take part in politics.
Which of them logically follows from the information given in the statement?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Neither I nor II follows
A conclusion follows only if the statement makes it certain. The statement says only that money has a large part to play in politics; it says nothing about who can or cannot become a politician.
Conclusion I (The poor can never become politicians) does not follow: money being important does not make it the only way into politics, and “never” goes far beyond what the statement says.
Conclusion II (All the rich men take part in politics) does not follow: the statement says nothing about what rich people do; having money does not mean every rich man joins politics.
