- The opening batsmen were spinners.

Hi, friends. We are not given any specific information. So we can't judge. So I think (d) is the right option.

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.

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.

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.
