    Question

    Read the given statement and conclusions carefully and decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statement.
    Statement:
    The postal system of India was started by the Britishers in 1764.
    Conclusions:
    I: Postal mails are often delayed or go missing.
    II: Postmen are poorly paid, so they tend to make mistakes.

    A.

    Only conclusion II follows.

    B.

    Only conclusion I follows.

    C.

    Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

    D.

    Both the conclusions follow.

    Correct option is C

    Given: 
    Statement:
    The postal system of India was started by the Britishers in 1764.
    Lets' analyze all the conclusions: 
    Conclusions:
    I: Postal mails are often delayed or go missing.
    This conclusion makes a general statement about the current state of the postal system, but there is no information in the statement to support this conclusion. The statement only mentions the origin of the postal system, not its current functioning.
    II: Postmen are poorly paid, so they tend to make mistakes.
    This conclusion also introduces an assumption about postmen’s pay and their performance, but again, the statement does not mention anything about postmen's pay or their tendencies to make mistakes. It only talks about the establishment of the postal system.
    Since the statement does not provide any supporting information for either conclusion, neither conclusion I nor II logically follows.
    Thus, the correct answer is (C) Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
