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

Shri said:   1 decade ago
Clearly they asked what is the statement that is following the statement.

So we cannot say C is correct.

Its clear that option "E" is the correct answer.

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.
