Question

Q. The following question has two statements followed by two conclusions. Read and understand them carefully and then select your answer option as given below:

Statements:

I. In an ODI match, the total runs made by a team were 300.

II. Out of these, 210 runs were made by batsmen.

Conclusions:

I. $70\%$ of the team consists of batsmen.

II. Some batsmen can bowl.

• A.
  If only I follows from the statements
• B.
  If only II follows from the statements
• C.
  If both I and II follow from the statements
• D.
  If neither I nor II follows from the statements

Answer 1

The correct option is D

If neither I nor II follows from the statements

Explanation:
According to the statements, $70\%$ of the total runs were made by the batsmen. But that does not mean that $70\%$ of the team consists of batsmen. So, I does not follow. Nothing about the batsmen being able to bowl is mentioned in the statements. So, II also does not follow.
