- Only conclusion I follows
- Only conclusion II follows
- Both conclusions I and II follow
- Either conclusion I or II follows
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
From the given statement, we know that 60% of government employees went on strike, but this doesn't mean that 100% of government employees participated in the strike. Therefore, Mr. Gopal, being a government employee, could either have participated in the strike or not.
- Conclusion I: Mr. Gopal went on strike. This is possible because 60% of government employees participated, but it's not certain that Mr. Gopal was among them.
- Conclusion II: Mr. Gopal did not participate in the strike. This is also possible, as the remaining 40% of employees may not have participated. Since either conclusion is possible, the correct answer is Option D.
