Question

Consider the given statement/s to be true and decide which of the given conclusions/assumptions can definitely be drawn from the given statement.
Statement: Irregularity is a cause for failure in exams. Some regular students fail in the examinations.
Conclusions:
I. All failed students are regular.
II. All successful students are not regular.

A) Only conclusion I follows B) Only conclusion II follows C) Both conclusion I and conclusion II follow D) Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows

Answer 1

Answer:

Neither conclusion (I) nor conclusion (II) follows as irregularity is a cause for failure in exams. Therefore, all failed students are irregular and not regular. It says some regular students fail in examination that doesn't imply successful students are not regular.

Hence the correct answer is Option D.
