Only conclusion I follows
Only conclusion II follows
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows

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.

I didn't get the direction given as the answer. I think option A is correct.

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

80% run collect spinners so either one follow.

I have a doubt.

The explanation is that 2nd conclusion does not follow. And 1st follow.

So the answer can be option A right?

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