Question

Two statements are given followed by two conclusions. Considering the two statements to be true irrespective of the commonly known facts. decide which of the two conclusions follow logically from these two statements.
Statements:
1: All hill stations have an echo-point.
2: P is a hill station.
Conclusions:
1: P has an echo-point.
2: Places other than hill stations do not have echo-points.

A.

Both conclusion 1 and conclusion 2 follow

B.

Only conclusion 1 follows

C.

Only conclusion 2 follows

D.

Neither conclusion 1 nor conclusion 2 follows

Correct option is B

Statements:
All hill stations have an echo-point.
P is a hill station.
Conclusions:
P has an echo-point.
Places other than hill stations do not have echo-points.
Analysis:
Conclusion 1: "P has an echo-point."
Since P is a hill station (Statement 2) and all hill stations have an echo-point (Statement 1), it logically follows that P must have an echo-point. Thus, Conclusion 1 follows.
Conclusion 2: "Places other than hill stations do not have echo-points."
This conclusion makes a broad claim that only hill stations have echo-points. The first statement only tells us that all hill stations have echo-points, but it does not specify anything about other types of places. Therefore, there could be other places (not hill stations) that also have echo-points. Hence, Conclusion 2 does not follow.
Conclusion:
Conclusion 1 follows.
Conclusion 2 does not follow.
The correct answer is: (b) Only conclusion 1 follows.
