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 Class X student who scored above 90% in the half-yearly examination will get a free science kit. Ravi, a Class X student, scored 93% in that examination.
Conclusions:
I. Ravi will get a free science kit.
II. At least one Class X student will get a free science kit.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Both I and II follow
A conclusion follows when the statement, taken as true, leads to it without anything added.
I. Ravi will get a free science kit. Follows. The rule covers every Class X student above 90%; Ravi is a Class X student with 93%, which is above 90%, so the rule applies to him.
II. At least one Class X student will get a free science kit. Follows. Ravi is a Class X student and he will get a kit, so at least one Class X student gets one.
