Question
Logical Reasoning Question on Statements and Conclusions
In the following questions, a statement is given followed by two conclusions. Mark the answer :
Statement : Parents are prepared to pay any price for an elite education to their children.
Conclusion :
I. All parents these days are very well off.
II. Parents have an obsessive passion for a perfect development of their children through good
schooling.
only conclusion I follows
only conclusion II follows
either I or II follows
neither I nor II follows
only conclusion II follows
Solution
The statement implies that parents are willing to pay any price for their children's education, which suggests a strong desire for their children's development through good schooling. This aligns with Conclusion II.
Conclusion I ("All parents these days are very well off") does not logically follow from the statement, as it only mentions that parents are prepared to pay, not that all of them are financially well-off. Therefore, only Conclusion II follows.
So, the correct option is (B): If only conclusion II follows.
