Question

Based on the statement(s) given below, choose the best possible conclusion(s) that follows:

Statements:

Only candidates with 7 or above years of experience in marketing can apply for the post; otherwise, their applications will be rejected.

Conclusions:

I. Only candidates with an MBA degree in marketing can apply.

II. Applications of candidates with 6 years of experience in marketing will not be considered for the post.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Only conclusion II follows

The statement lays down a single eligibility rule: an applicant must have 7 or more years of marketing experience, otherwise the application is rejected.

Examine Conclusion I: it introduces an MBA degree requirement, but the statement says nothing about any degree. This is extra information not derivable from the statement, so I does not follow.

Examine Conclusion II: a candidate with only 6 years of experience has fewer than 7 years, so by the rule such an application must be rejected, i.e. not considered.

Thus Conclusion II is a direct and logical consequence of the given statement.

So only Conclusion II follows while Conclusion I does not.

Options 'Only I', 'Both I and II' and 'Neither' are therefore incorrect.

Hence the answer is Only conclusion II follows.
