Logical Reasoning Question on Statements and Conclusions

In this question, a statement is given, followed by two conclusions.
Statement: From the next academia year, students will have the option of dropping Mathematics and Science for their school living.
Conclusions.
1. Students who are weak in Science and Mathematics will be admitted.
II. Earlier, the students did not have the choice of continuing their education without these subjects.

A

If only conclusion I follows.

B

If only conclusion II follows.

C

If either conclusion I or II follows.

D

If neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Answer

If only conclusion II follows.

Explanation

Solution

Conclusion I: The statement says that students will have the option of dropping Science and Mathematics, but it doesn't say anything about admitting students based on their weakness in these subjects. Hence, Conclusion I does not follow.
Conclusion II: The statement mentions that starting from next year, students will have the option to drop these subjects. This implies that previously, students did not have such an option. Thus, Conclusion II logically follows.

The correct answer is (B) : If only conclusion II follows.
