Statement: People living in Chennai speak Tamil. Maya speaks Tamil.
Conclusion: 1) Maya resides in Chennai.
2) Maya knows other languages as well.
 

  • A.If only conclusion (1) follows.
  • B.If only conclusion (2) follows.
  • C.If either (1) or (2) follows.
  • D.If neither (1) nor (2) follows.
  • E.If both (1) and (2) follow.

Answer: D

Correct answer: If neither (1) nor (2) follows.

Tamil is spoken by people in Chennai, but it is spoken elsewhere too, so Maya’s speaking it does not place her in Chennai - conclusion 1 argues back from the outcome. Conclusion 2 supposes she knows other languages, of which nothing is said. Neither follows.
