    Question

    In this question, a statement is given followed by two conclusions numbered 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: Sachin scored a total of 200 in 2 matches.
    Conclusion:
    i) Sachin hit 2 centuries
    ii) Sachin hit 4 half centuries
    Choose the appropriate one from the following options
    (A) Only conclusion i follows
    (B) Only conclusion ii follows
    (C) Either i or ii follows
    (D) Neither i nor ii follows and
    (E) Both i and ii follow.

    A.

    B

    B.

    A

    C.

    D

    D.

    C

    Correct option is C

    Statement:
    Sachin scored a total of 200 runs in 2 matches.
    This only tells the total runs.
    It does NOT tell how many runs he scored in each match.
    He could have scored:
    100 + 100 (2 centuries)
    150 + 50
    120 + 80
    99 + 101
    Many other combinations
    So:
    Conclusion i) Sachin hit 2 centuries
    Not definite ❌
    Conclusion ii) Sachin hit 4 half centuries
    Impossible in 2 matches (only 2 innings assumed). Also not given ❌
    Therefore, neither conclusion definitely follows.
    Correct Answer: (C) D
