Statement:

Luck plays an important role in clearing Government Exams.

Conclusions:

I. Unlucky people can never become Government Servants.

II. Luck is the primary reason people clear Government Exams.

1.

Only conclusion I follows

2.

Only conclusion II follows

3.

Both the conclusions follow

4.

Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 :

Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows

The statement only states that luck is important in clearing Government Exams.

It does not talk about prospects of Unlucky people in becoming Government Servants (which need not be synonymous with clearing Government Exams).

Hence conclusion I does not follow.

Luck plays an important role but need not play the primary role in clearing Government Exams.

Hence conclusion II does not follow.

Hence, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
