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

80% run collect spinners so either one follow.

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

I am not getting how to conclude such questions on how to picturise them. Is there any hint, diagram or any solution for this to make out?

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

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.

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.
