See it is very simple concept. Like your team got 200 marks. They did not mention "out of". So you do not know total marks.
Next is they have mentioned 160 marks have been scored by spinners. So you can not calculated into percentage the obtained marks of the spinners. So the first statement "80% of the team consist of spinners" does not follow.
Next is "the opening batsmen are spinners" see it is obvious that they have not specified about the opening batsmen. So the second statement also does not follow.
It is very simple. You don't want to think highly. Very easy and think normally.

Hi friends.
In the question, it is given that 160 runs are made by spinners. So number of spinners could be anything. For example even 2 spinners in the team might have scored 160 runs. This does not mean that there are 80 percent of spinners. So option 1 does not follow. Neither option 2 follows as opening batsmen might have not scored and in the end spinners might have scored runs. So option D is correct. Hope all of you might have understood.

This conclusion I does not follow because;.
The statement only tells us who made the runs, not how many spinners were in the team.
It's possible that only 2 spinners made all 160 runs, while the rest were non-spinners.
So, we cannot conclude anything about team composition.

Actually, he is saying that 160 runs are made by the spinners and with that statement conclusion one is exactly true but the option he has given as answer was wrong why did he choose that I didn't understand.

We can't draw any conclusion with out any information from given statment.We are not getting how many spinners are there in the team and we don't know who are the opening batsman. So the option D is correct.

Correct ans is (d). Because there is nothing in the statement which conclude that 2 men or 2 women danced with same number of men or women. It may possible that every man danced with single single woman.

Very simple. It says that 80% run scored by the spinners so it might be possible that only 2 or 3 or any no.of spinners out of 11 (who are spinners) have scored it.

I don't agree with your answer because the total of team 200 out of 160 runs was made by sprinters.
Sprinters run 160 were 80% of the total runs of the team.
Sprinters run 160 were 80% of the total runs of the team.
