1. Only conclusion B follows
2. Both conclusions A and C follow
3. Only conclusion C follows
4. Both conclusions A and B follow

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Only conclusion B follows

Conclusions:

A. All renowned sportspersons earn large amount through advertisements → False (it is possible but not definite as John is a renowned sportsperson and he earns a large amount every year through advertisements of various products but it is not applicable for all)

B. John is fit and active → True (as john is a renowned sportsperson and all renowned sportspersons are fit and active, implies John is fit and fine too)

C. John being popular advertises only famous products → False (no mention of famous products, so can't say)

Hence, only conclusion B follows.

• If there are two or more sentences that are used to frame a statement, then, the sentences must be interrelated, and mutual contradiction should be there.
• Do not look for truthful notions. The information provided in the statement is the only requirement for a student to answer the question. No assumptions must be made.
• Read the statement carefully and look for keywords that are common between the statement and the conclusions.
• If there is more than one conclusion that is applicable to the statement, students must ensure that the conclusions they opt for have some relation with each other.
