    Question

    In question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.
    Statement: In one day cricket match, the total runs made by a team were 200 . Out of these 160 runs were made by spinners.
    Conclusions:
    I. 80% of the team consists of spinners.
    II. The opening batsmen were spinners.​​

    A.

    If only conclusion II follows.

    B.

    If both conclusions I and II follow.

    C.

    If only conclusion I follows.

    D.

    If neither I nor II follows.

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    Statement: In one day cricket match, the total runs made by a team were 200. Out of these 160 runs were made by spinners.
    According to given information:
    Conclusions:
    I. 80% of the team consists of spinners.
    The statement only states runs scored by spinners, not the number of players who are spinners.
    Just because spinners contributed 80% of the runs, it does not necessarily mean 80% of the team consists of spinners.
    Does not logically follow.
    II. The opening batsmen were spinners.​​
    The statement provides no information about who the opening batsmen were. We cannot conclude that they were spinners.
    Does not logically follow.
    Thus, the correct option is (d) If neither I nor II follows.
