A statement is given, followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Taking the statement to be true, decide which of the conclusions logically follows from it.
Statement: Every passenger who books a ticket on this website gets a discount of 5%. Meena booked her ticket on this website.
Conclusions:
I. Meena got a discount of 5%.
II. Meena always books her tickets on this website.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Only conclusion I follows
A conclusion follows when the statement, taken as true, leads to it in every possible case; if even one case fits the statement but not the conclusion, it does not follow.
I. Meena got a discount of 5%. Follows. Every passenger who books on the website gets the discount, and Meena booked on it, so she must have got it.
II. Meena always books her tickets on this website. Does not follow. The statement is about one booking; it says nothing about how Meena books her tickets at other times.
