Question

‘If Anish had scored hundred runs in today’s match, he would have been made the captain of his team. He would have then become the youngest captain in his team’s history. Unfortunately, he got out without scoring any runs. Hence, there won’t be any change in the captaincy for now.’
Based on the paragraph above, which one of the following statements is true?

The correct answer is
The current captain is older than Anish.

Anish Captaincy Scenario Analysis

The paragraph presents a conditional situation regarding Anish's potential captaincy.

  • Condition: If Anish scored 100 runs, he would become the captain and the youngest captain in the team's history.
  • Outcome: Anish got out without scoring (0 runs).
  • Result: There will be no change in captaincy.

Evaluating Each Statement

Let's analyze each option based on the paragraph:

  • Option 1: "Anish made hundred runs but was denied captaincy." This is false. The paragraph clearly states he got out without scoring.
  • Option 2: "Anish was the captain of his team before the game today." This is false. The text implies he was not the captain, as scoring 100 runs would have *made* him captain, suggesting a change from the existing status.
  • Option 3: "The current captain is older than Anish." This statement is true. For Anish to have become the youngest captain upon scoring 100, the current captain must be older than Anish. Since he didn't score, the current captain remains, and this condition holds true.
  • Option 4: "Anish is the youngest player in his team." This is false. The paragraph only states he would have become the *youngest captain*, not necessarily the youngest player overall. There could be other players younger than him.

Therefore, the only statement that logically follows from the given text is that the current captain is older than Anish.
