Question

A statement is given followed by two conclusions I and II. Consider the information given in the statement as true, even if it seems to be at variance with commonly known facts, and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follow from the statement?
Statement:
Sagar used wet hands to switch off the electric lights in his house, due to which he got an electric shock.
Conclusion:
I. All the electric wires in the house need to be replaced.
II. Never touch any electrical appliance with wet hands.

A.

Only conclusion I follows​

B.

Both conclusions I and II follow​

C.

Only conclusion II follows​

D.

​Neither conclusion I nor I follows​

Correct option is C

Statement: Sagar used wet hands to switch off the electric lights in his house, due to which he got an electric shock.
Conclusion I: All the electric wires in the house need to be replaced. (Does not follow)
The statement indicates that the electric shock happened because Sagar used wet hands, which is a human error, not because the electric wires were faulty.
Therefore, there is no evidence from the statement that suggests the need for replacing all the electric wires.
Conclusion II: Never touch any electrical appliance with wet hands. (Follows)
The shock occurred due to using wet hands to touch an electrical appliance, which implies a general safety rule:
it is dangerous to touch electrical appliances with wet hands. 
Thus, Option C is the correct answer.
