In this question a statement is given which is 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.
Statement: People who speak too much against dowry are those who had taken it.
Conclusions:
I. It is easier said than done.
II. People have double standards.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option 2: If only conclusion II follows
The statement says that people who strongly oppose dowry are the same people who have taken it. This clearly indicates hypocrisy or double standards—their actions do not match their words. Hence, Conclusion II directly follows.
Conclusion I (“It is easier said than done”) is a general remark about difficulty in practice, but the statement is not about difficulty—it is about contradictory behavior. Therefore, Conclusion I does not logically follow.
Hence, only Conclusion II follows.
