Q: Two statements are given followed by two conclusions. Considering the two statements to be true irrespective of the commonly known facts, decide which of the two conclusions follow logically from these two statements. Statements: 1. All hill stations have an echo-point. 2. P is a hill station. Conclusions: 1. P has an echo-point. 2. Places other than hill stations do not have echo-points.
  • A. Only conclusion 2 follows
  • B. Both conclusion 1 and conclusion 2 follow
  • C. Neither conclusion 1 nor conclusion 2 follows
  • D. Only conclusion 1 follows
Correct Answer: Option D - It is clear from the statement that all hill stations have an echo-point. If P is a hill station then there must be a echo-point. Hence, conclusion 1 logically follows from the statement whereas there is not mention about other places in the statement. Hence, conclusion 2 does not follow.
D. It is clear from the statement that all hill stations have an echo-point. If P is a hill station then there must be a echo-point. Hence, conclusion 1 logically follows from the statement whereas there is not mention about other places in the statement. Hence, conclusion 2 does not follow.

Explanations:
