Question

In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.
Statements: Adversity makes a man wise.
Conclusions:
I. The poor are wise.
II. Man learns from bitter experience.

• A. Only conclusion I follows
• B. Only conclusion II follows
• C. Either I or II follows
• D. Neither I nor II follows
• E. Both I and II follow

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Only conclusion II follows

The statement talks of 'adversity' in general and not lack of money'. So, I does not follow. II correctly explains the statement and hence it follows.
