Discussion
Statement:
In Bihar, alleged Maoists gunned down 16 villagers over a land row.
Conclusions:
I. The killed villagers had occupied government lands.
II. Maoists have not claimed the killings.
III. Some of the villagers involved in the land row have escaped.
Answer: D
Correct answer: Only II follows
The word to notice is alleged: the killings are attributed to Maoists without their having acknowledged them, which is conclusion II. Conclusion I supplies a version of the land dispute that the statement does not give, and conclusion III adds an escape that is nowhere mentioned. A report of a killing over a land row settles neither the rights of the dispute nor the fate of anyone not killed.
