Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : Only conclusion 1 follows.

The logic follows here is:

Conclusions: 

1. Pedestrians should use pedestrian crossings for safety → True (This is logically correct with regards to the statement.)

2. All children know what a pedestrian crossing is → False (This is logically incorrect with regards to the statement as nothing is mentioned whether children should know or not, we can't assume anything on our own).

Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion 1 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.
