Correct Answer: Neither Conclusion I nor II follows.


Solution : Given:

Statement

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Now, let's consider the conclusions:

I. All are friends in good times.
This conclusion does not necessarily follow from the given statement. The statement "A friend in need is a friend indeed" emphasizes the importance of friends who provide support in times of need. It does not imply that all people are friends in good times.

II. Enemies in bad times are not friends.
The statement suggests that true friends are those who stand by you in times of need. However, it doesn't explicitly mention "enemies". People's relationships can change over time, and someone who may not provide support during bad times could potentially become a friend later on. Thus, Conclusion II is not true.

In summary, neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II is true based on the given statement.

Hence, the first option is correct.
