In this question, a statement is given 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. Choose the appropriate one from the following options (A) Only conclusion i follows. (B) Only conclusion ii follows. (C) Both conclusion i and ii follow. (D) Neither i nor ii follows. (E) Both i and ii follow.
Statement:
Rohan will announce his retirement after 2020 Olympics.
Conclusions:
i) Rohan is a sportsperson.
ii) Rohan is not a sportsperson.
Statement Analysis
The core statement is: "Rohan will announce his retirement after 2020 Olympics."
This statement links Rohan's retirement announcement directly to the timing of the 2020 Olympics. Retiring after a major event like the Olympics strongly suggests involvement in that event or the field associated with it.
Conclusion i: Rohan is a sportsperson
This conclusion logically follows. Announcing retirement specifically *after* the Olympics implies Rohan is likely an athlete or participant in the Olympics. People usually retire from activities they are engaged in, and the Olympics are a premier sporting event. Therefore, inferring Rohan is a sportsperson is a reasonable deduction.
Conclusion ii: Rohan is not a sportsperson
This conclusion also follows based on the principle that the statement does not provide conclusive proof. While participation is implied, it's not explicitly stated. Rohan could be retiring from a role connected to the Olympics but not as an athlete (e.g., coach, official, administrator, or commentator). The statement doesn't eliminate these possibilities. Since the statement leaves room for interpretation and doesn't explicitly confirm Rohan *is* a sportsperson, the possibility that he is *not* remains logically open.
Final Decision
Because the statement allows for the inference that Rohan is a sportsperson (due to the Olympic context) and simultaneously does not definitively rule out the possibility that he is not a sportsperson (due to lack of explicit confirmation of his role), both conclusions are considered to logically follow from the given statement.
Therefore, the option stating that both conclusion i and ii follow is the correct choice.
Option C correctly states that "Both conclusion i and ii follow."
