Statement & Conclusion

Easy

In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.

Statements: In a one day cricket match, the total runs made by a team were 200. Out of these 160 runs were made by spinners.

Conclusions:

I.80% of the team consists of spinners.

II.The opening batsmen were spinners.

Only conclusion I follows

Only conclusion II follows

Either I or II follows

Neither I nor II follows

✅ Correct Option: 4

Just because spinners made $80$ % of the runs doesn't mean $80$ % of the team consisted of spinners. Hence, Conclusion I doesn't follow.

Similarly, just because the spinners made a majority of the runs, doesn't conclude the opening batsmen were spinners. Hence, Conclusion II doesn't follow.

Question 23
