Question : Direction: In the following question, a statement is given followed by two conclusions / Assumptions. You have to consider the statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow from the given statement.
Statement
If people are intelligent they should be creative.
Assumptions
I. Creativity and intelligence are related.
II. Creative people are intelligent.
Option 1: Both assumptions I and II are invalid
Option 2: Only assumption I is valid
Option 3: Only assumption II is valid
Option 4: Both assumptions I and II are valid
Correct Answer: Only assumption I is valid
Solution : Given:
Statement
If people are intelligent, they should be creative.
Now, let's assess the assumptions:
I. Creativity and intelligence are related.
This assumption is supported by the statement. The statement implies that there is a relationship between intelligence and creativity. It suggests that if people are intelligent, they should also possess creativity, which indicates a connection between the two.
II. Creative people are intelligent.
This assumption is not explicitly supported by the statement. While the statement mentions that intelligent people should be creative, it doesn't necessarily mean that all creative people are intelligent. Creativity and intelligence may overlap, but one does not guarantee the other.
So, Assumption I is supported by the statement, but Assumption II is not necessarily true based on the given statement.
Hence, the second option is correct.
