Question

Two statements are given followed by two conclusions I and II. Take the statement to be true and then decide which of the conclusions logically follows. Mark your answer accordingly
Statement:
Now you don't need an import licence to own a VCR.
Conclusions:
I. VCRs are now manufactured indigenously.
II. VCRs are now freely permitted to be imported.

• A. only conclusion I follows
• B. only conclusion II follows
• C. either conclusion I or II follows
• D. neither conclusion I nor II follows

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To analyze the statement and the conclusions:

Statement:
Now you don't need an import licence to own a VCR.

Conclusions:
I. VCRs are now manufactured indigenously.
II. VCRs are now freely permitted to be imported.

Analysis:
- Conclusion I: VCRs are now manufactured indigenously.
 This conclusion cannot be definitively drawn from the statement. The lack of a need for an import license does not imply that VCRs are manufactured domestically; they could still be imported.

- Conclusion II: VCRs are now freely permitted to be imported.  
 This conclusion logically follows from the statement. If no import license is required to own a VCR, it suggests that importing VCRs is now allowed without restrictions.

Conclusion:
The correct answer is B: If only conclusion II follows.
