Discussion

In the question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II.

Give answer

(A) If only I follows
(B) If only II follows
(C) If either I or II follows
(D) If neither I nor II follows
(E) If both I and II follow.

Statement - If both the partners work as a team, marriage will be successful.

The couple celebrated golden jubilee of their wedding last year.

Conclusions -

I. Both the partners are compatible with each other.

II. Some marriages do not last even ten years nowadays.

  • A.Only I follows
  • B.Only II follows
  • C.Either I or II follows
  • D.Neither I nor II follows

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only I follows

A marriage lasting fifty years is the success the first statement speaks of, and the statement gives teamwork as what produces that success, so the intended inference is back to the compatibility of the partners. Conclusion II introduces a general claim about marriages today that no part of the statement mentions, so it draws on outside knowledge rather than on what is given.
