Statement and Conclusion
Directions to Solve

In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.

Give answer:

  • (A) If only conclusion I follows
  • (B) If only conclusion II follows
  • (C) If either I or II follows
  • (D) If neither I nor II follows and
  • (E) If both I and II follow.

2.

Statements: The old order changed yielding place to new.

Conclusions:

  1. Change is the law of nature.
  2. Discard old ideas because they are old.
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

I think it should be D. Both not correct.

Nature isn't mentioned nor inferred in the statement so option 1 can't be the right answer. Old and new order could be about social, political, religious or economic models which have nothing to do with nature!

@Rameshwar.

So what if it can't be challenged? It can't be supported either.

There's no indication that changing of old orders are a guaranteed effect of time, only that it happened once in the premise statement.

Old said change yielding place to new.

Here it is not mentioned about the law of nature. So how can we say statement 1 is correct.

Looking at the solution, I think they meant "The old order changes yielding place to new. " and not "The old order changed yielding place to new. ".

I also agree with @Poonam they did not mention about law of nature of old and new law of nature.
Rameshwar said:   1 decade ago
The (I) conclusion that is drawn from the given statement can not be challenged.
The 2nd conclusion can be easily challenged so only I follows.

I do agree with Poonam and Shaher We need explanation.
Shaher said:   1 decade ago
The statement clearly tells that older is changed in order to give place to new. Then how can the answer b change is the law of nature. Didn't get it clearly. Do explain in detail.
