Option D is correct, because the total numbers of spinners are not given instead of quantity of spinners the number of runs are given.

Dear all,
The correct answer is D there is no evidence for conclusion 80% of the teams are spinners. May be 2 of 200 are a spinner.

Conclusion should be 100% correct but here Conclusion I, II may partially correct so answer is C i.e. neither I nor II follows.

I have a doubt.
The explanation is that 2nd conclusion does not follow. And 1st follow.
So the answer can be option A right?

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

80 run not may be achieved by only spinner without opener batsmen, so that option D was correct.

I didn't understand that opening batsmen were spinners. Why such spinners can't do well batting?
