Question : Directions: In the following question, two statements are given, each followed by two conclusions I and II. 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, follows from the given statements.
Statements:
I. The pass percentage in the subject of Political Science is very low as compared to others in the same curriculum.
II. The students who were admitted to the program did not study Political Science earlier.
Conclusions:
I. The foundation of the subject is very important for a student to perform well in examinations.
II. Political Science is a generic subject, and students can attempt it without any problem.
Option 1: Only conclusion II follows
Option 2: Conclusion I and II both follow
Option 3: Neither I nor II follows
Option 4: Only conclusion I follows
Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Solution : According to the above-given statement,
Conclusions I:
The foundation of the subject is very important for a student to perform well in examinations – This conclusion logically follows from statement I. The low pass percentage in Political Science suggests that students without a solid foundation in the subject may struggle in exams.
Conclusions II:
Political Science is a generic subject, and students can attempt it without any problem – This conclusion doesn't directly follow from the given statements. While Statement II mentions that admitted students did not study Political Science earlier, it doesn't necessarily imply that Political Science is a generic subject that students can attempt without any problem.
So, in this case, only conclusion I logically follows from the given statements. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
