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.

Statement: The old order changed yielding place to new.

Conclusions:

I.Change is the law of nature.

II. Discard old ideas because they are old.

Only conclusion I follows

Only conclusion II follows

Either I or II follows

Neither I nor II follows

✅ Correct Option: 1

The statement implies that old things change every now and then to make place for new things.

Conclusion I states the same fact, change is a law of nature, and everything is replaced sooner or later.

Conclusion II is false, old ideas aren't discarded because they are old, but rather new ideas become more popular or provide a better path.
