Correct Answer: Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows


Solution : Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: The Japanese are not God-fearing.
The statement does not say anything about Japanese are God-fearing or not. It only says that no Japanese is a Hindu. Hence, this conclusion does not follow the above statement.
Conclusion II: All God-fearing are Hindus.
From the above statement, it can be said that all Hindus are God-fearing but it does not say that all God-fearing people are Hindus, maybe some other religions of people are also God-fearing. Hence, this conclusion does not follow the above statement.

So, the correct answer is neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
