You have to decide which of the given conclusions or assumptions can be drawn from the given statements. Indicate your answer.
Statements:
All Hindus are God-fearing.
No Japanese is a Hindu.
Conclusions:
I. The Japanese are not God-fearing.
II. All God-fearing are Hindus.
Option 1: Only conclusion I follows
Option 2: Only conclusion II follows
Option 3: Both conclusion I and conclusion II follow
Option 4: Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows
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.
