Logical Reasoning - Statement and Conclusion - Discussion

"no person involved in murder was released. This means that no political prisoner had committed murder. "
I didnt follow this part of the explanation.....
Plz help me out....

I too didn't understand. I think there is some error. It's mentioned 'All those political prisoners....' and not 'All the political prisoners...'
Tania what's ur opinion.

What if some political prisoners have committed both murder and political dharnas ?

Political prisoners have committed only dharnas---they will get bail.

2nd thing political prisoners did not committed murder (stick to the statement don't imagine).

The prisoner who murdered won't get bail.

All political prisoners got bail, it means no one had committed muder.

@ Rameshwar

Political prisoners have committed dharnas as well as some other crimes
but those who committed political dharnas were not granted bail.

This can be implied from the statement first part and if this was only given then we could have mark conclusion 1 ie A follows. But the second statement "Bail was not granted to persons involved in murders, it gives us a probabilty that there can be political prisoners that have commited murder but not granted bail.

So conclusion I does not follow.

Can yo Justify my expalin to be wrong for not marking same answer mentioned???

I Can't accept option A. As mentioned above by @Sch203, It is all those politicians and not all the politicians so how can we say that politicians are not involved in murders. So according to me option D will follow.

Explanation to the Answer:

Political prisoners who were in jail were there due to:

1. Political Dharnas.
2. Other reasons.

All the political prisoners in the category 'other reasons' were released.

Now, in this whole transaction, the people who had committed murder were not released. Now if the political prisoners belonging to 'other reasons' would have committed murders they wouldn't have been released.
But all of those belonging to 'other reasons' were released.

Hence, No political - prisoner had committed murder.

@Yash.

Your explanation is good enough but what if Category 1 political prisoners who are retained in jail due to political dharnas were also convicted of murder?

Its clear when the political prisoner achieved bail.

Now, if the question arise then late me clear you the answer is already in the question. "political prisoner released on bail. Bail was not granted persons involved in murder".

See, If the political prisoner was involved in murder then the correction hall will not grant the bail. Think clearly. I bet you ll get the answer all by yourselves.

But it says all those political persons who were not involved in dharnas were released on bail. This could also mean that there were some politicians who could also be in jail for murder, and hence were not given bail. I too think the answer given doesn't make sense.
