Question:

In this question, a conclusion is given followed by statements labeled I and II. Give your answer from the given options.

Statement: Spices deteriorate after prolonged boiling.

I. The essential oils in spices easily evaporate.

II. Spices are put in pickle to add to the flavour

Options:

If statement I alone is needed to draw the conclusion

If statement II alone is needed to draw the conclusion

If both 1 and II are needed to draw the conclusion

If both I and II are not sufficient to draw the conclusion

Correct Answer:

If statement I alone is needed to draw the conclusion

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1: If statement I alone is needed to draw the conclusion

The conclusion is that spices deteriorate after prolonged boiling.
Statement I explains why this happens: The essential oils in spices easily evaporate, which causes deterioration.
Statement II talks about spices being used in pickles to add flavor, which is unrelated to why spices deteriorate after boiling.

So, only Statement I is relevant and necessary to support the conclusion.
