The Correct Option is C

Approach Solution - 1

Step 1: Understand the statement (S).
The statement says: Economic security makes people better and happier and has a good influence on their personality. 
So, economic security (financial stability) leads to:

  • People being happier.
  • Positive influence on their personality. 

Step 2: Check Conclusion I.
C I: "People who earn enough money are happier." 
This directly follows from the part of S which says "economic security makes people happier."
\(\Rightarrow\) Conclusion I follows. 

Step 3: Check Conclusion II.
C II: "To have a good personality people should be economically sound." 
Since the statement clearly mentions that economic security has a good influence on personality, it implies economic soundness helps in developing a good personality.
\(\Rightarrow\) Conclusion II also follows. 

Step 4: Final Answer.
Both conclusions follow logically. \[ \Rightarrow \boxed{(c)\ \text{Both Conclusions I and II follow}} \]

Approach Solution -2

Rewrite the statement in categorical form and apply standard syllogism rules instead of paraphrasing it.

  1. Statement as a categorical claim: "All economically secure people are happier and have a good personality" — a universal affirmative (A-type) statement linking economic security to both happiness and good personality.
  2. Conclusion I: "People who earn enough money are happier" restates the first predicate of the A-type statement directly; a universal statement always supports this direct restatement, so it follows.
  3. Conclusion II: "To have a good personality, people should be economically sound" restates the second predicate as a necessary condition; since the A-type statement links economic security to good personality universally, this also follows.

Both conclusions are direct restatements of the two predicates in the universal statement, so both hold.

the correct answer is Both Conclusions I and II follow.
