Logical Reasoning Question on Statements and Conclusions

In the following questions, a statement is given followed by two conclusions. Mark the answer :
Statement : Vegetable prices are soaring in the market.
Conclusion :
I. Vegetables are becoming a rare commodity.
II. People cannot eat vegetables.

A

only conclusion I follows

B

only conclusion II follows

C

either I or II follows

D

neither I nor II follows

Answer

neither I nor II follows

Explanation

Solution

The statement only mentions that vegetable prices are increasing, but it doesn't imply that vegetables are becoming rare (Conclusion I) or that people cannot eat vegetables (Conclusion II). Price increases could be due to various factors unrelated to rarity or people's ability to purchase them. Therefore, neither conclusion logically follows from the statement.

So, the correct option is (D): If neither I nor II follows.
