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: This book 'Z' is the only book which focuses its attention to the problem of poverty in India between 1950 and 1980
Conclusions:
I. There was no question of poverty before 1950
II. No other book deals with poverty in India during 1950 to 1980

• 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

The correct option is B Only conclusion II follows

The phrase 'only book' in the statement makes II implicit. However, nothing about the state of poverty before 1950 can be deduced from the statement. So, I does not follow.
