Statements: My first and foremost task is to beautify this city - if city X and Y can do it - why can't we do it. - Statement of Municipal Commissioner of city Z after taking over charge.

Conclusions:

  1. The people of city Z are not aware about the present state of ugliness of their city.
  2. The present Commissioner has worked in city X and Y and has good experience of beautifying cities.
Only conclusion I follows
Only conclusion II follows
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows
Both I and II follow
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The Commissioner only cites examples of cities X and Y and undertakes to beautify city Z. This does not imply that he has worked in cities X and Y. So, I do not follow. Also, nothing about people's response to the state of the city can be deduced from the statement. Thus, II also does not follow.
