Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement. Give answer
-
Statement:
''While there is no harm in providing safetybelt for international players, we need to pay more to our first-class players, especially as most of them are without jobs.''- Statement made by BCCI treasurer
Conclusions :
I. Senior players already get huge amounts and giving them more makes little sense.
II. All first-class players need more motivation than that needed by international players.
-
- if only conclusion I follows
- if only conclusion II follows
- if either I or II follows
- if neither I nor II follows, and
- if both I and II follow
Correct Option: D
I does not follow because '' senior players'' is no category in the statement. II does not follow because ''more'' does not compare the two categories of players. The statement merely implies that first-class players should get more than what they do at present.
