Neither I nor II follows

Reasoning: Analyzing Statement and Conclusions

This question tests our ability to determine which conclusions logically follow from a given statement. We need to carefully examine the relationship between the statement and each conclusion.

Statement Analysis

The given statement is: "Morning walks are good for health."

This statement tells us that engaging in morning walks has a positive effect on health. It establishes a beneficial link between the activity (morning walks) and the outcome (good health).

Conclusion I Analysis

Conclusion I states: "All healthy people go for morning walk."

  • The original statement says morning walks contribute to good health.
  • It does not say that morning walks are the only way to achieve good health.
  • There could be many other factors or activities that contribute to a person's health (e.g., diet, exercise, genetics).
  • Therefore, just because someone is healthy, we cannot conclude they *must* go for morning walks. This conclusion makes a universal claim that is not supported by the initial statement. It incorrectly reverses the logic.

Thus, Conclusion I does not logically follow from the statement.

Conclusion II Analysis

Conclusion II states: "Evening walks are harmful."

  • The statement provides information only about the benefits of morning walks.
  • It does not mention anything about evening walks at all.
  • Since there is no information provided about evening walks, we cannot determine whether they are harmful or not based solely on the given statement.

Thus, Conclusion II does not logically follow from the statement.

Final Conclusion

Based on the analysis, neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II can be logically deduced from the given statement.

The correct option is the one stating that neither conclusion follows.
