    Question

    Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Consider the information given in the statements 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 given statements.
    Statement:
    Class 9B students lost 14 out of 20 hockey matches, but won 8 out of 10 football matches played this year.
    Conclusions:
    I. Class 9 students like football more than hockey
    II. Class 9 students should play football more than hockey

    A.

    Both conclusions I and II follow.

    B.

    Only conclusion II follows

    C.

    Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

    D.

    Only conclusion I follows

    Correct option is C

    Statement:
    Class 9B students lost 14 out of 20 hockey matches, but won 8 out of 10 football matches played this year.
    Conclusions:
    I. Class 9 students like football more than hockey - False
    The statement gives information about the outcomes of the matches but says nothing about the students' preferences or liking for football or hockey.
    Preferences cannot be inferred from success rates alone.
    II. Class 9 students should play football more than hockey - Flase
    While the statement indicates better performance in football, it does not necessarily imply they should play it more.
    Factors like interest, school policies, or training focus are not mentioned in the statement.
    So, Both conclusions is weak.
    Thus, the correct answer is (c).
