Statement Analysis for VC Post
The initial statement provides crucial information: "Mr A is not among the candidates shortlisted for the post of vice chancellor of a university." This tells us that Mr. A has not been selected as part of the group being actively considered for the position.
Evaluating Conclusion I: Election Possibility
Conclusion I suggests: "Mr. A will be elected as Vice - chancellor."
Explanation: Election to a position like Vice-Chancellor typically requires a candidate to be considered through a formal process, which usually starts with shortlisting. The statement explicitly mentions that Mr. A is *not* on the shortlist. If someone is not even considered (not shortlisted), they cannot be elected. Therefore, this conclusion contradicts the initial statement and does not logically follow.
Evaluating Conclusion II: Consideration Possibility
Conclusion II states: "Mr. A will not be considered for the post of Vice-chancellor."
Explanation: Being "shortlisted" means being selected to be part of the group that will be considered for the final selection or election. Since the statement clearly says Mr. A is *not* among the shortlisted candidates, it directly implies that he is excluded from the consideration process for the Vice-Chancellor role. This conclusion is a direct logical inference from the statement.
Final Deduction
Comparing the conclusions with the statement:
- Conclusion I does not follow because not being shortlisted prevents election.
- Conclusion II follows because not being shortlisted means not being considered.
Thus, only Conclusion II logically follows from the given statement.
