Question

Statement : Children nowadays prefer watching TV programmes, meant for adults, to studying in the evenings.
Courses of action :
I. Parents should switch off TV sets during their child's study hours.
II. Children who insist on watching these type of programmes should be whipped.

• A. If only conclusion I follows.
• B. If only conclusion II follows.
• C. If neither I nor II follows.
• D. If both conclusions I and II follow.

Answer 1

The correct option is A If only conclusion I follows.

The statement outlines the basic problem of children forsaking study time and wasting it in watching programmes meant for adults. Obviously, any action which makes the students study, without wasting time on worthless pursuits, would be welcome.
I is a practical course of action and solves the problem. Hence, it follows.
II is an extreme action, hence it does not follow. Therefore, choice (A) is the answer.
