Home » Verbal Reasoning » Statement and Conclusion » Question

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

  1. Statement:
    The book 'X' is the only one which focuses on cross- border terrorism in India during the last two decades.
    Conclusions :
    I. No other book deals with cross-border terrorism in India.
    II. There were not any kind of threat from cross-border terrorism two decades ago.
    1. if only conclusion I follows
    2. if only conclusion II follows
    3. if either I or II follows
    4. if neither I nor II follows, and
    5. if both I and II follow
Correct Option: D

We can infer from the statement that there is no such book which focuses on cross-border terrorism in India during last two decades. But conclusion I does not consist of the words 'the last two decades'. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Again, the statement is silent on cross-border terrorism before the last two decades. Hence, II does not follow.
