Three fourth of tree are old then 1/4 tree are flowering and here half of the trees are flowering. So here is contradiction.

Let there be x ashoka and x sandal trees.now total trees equals 2x.
out of these 3/4th i.e. 1.5x are old.Therefore atleast half of both the trees has to be old.
So, answer is (c).

If no reasonable independence between "old" stage and "flowering stage" is taken into account, C will be the answer, obviously.
However, if there are only two states: "old" and "flowering" independently, the question itself makes contradicting pieces of information, haha.

Clearly they asked what is the statement that is following the statement.
So we cannot say C is correct.

Question states a forest consisting of Ashoka and Sandalwood trees. If forest has only two types of trees then option C is correct. Else it is option E

No information is provided if the two types of tress are the only types preset in the forest. Hence 'E'.

Not mentioned as only 2 kinds.

The question does not state that sandal and ashoka trees are the only trees comprising the forest. It only says the number of ashoka trees= number of sandal trees.
So if Forest has 100 trees in total out of which say 2 are sandal trees so, ashoka trees= 2. Other 96 trees are there in the forest as well.
