Statement and Conclusions Analysis

The problem requires evaluating two conclusions based on a given statement.

Statement Analysis

Statement: Electrical engineers can apply for the posts currently vacant in ABC company.

  • This statement establishes that there are vacancies at ABC company specifically for electrical engineers. It does not provide information about other engineering disciplines or the quantity of available positions.

Conclusion Evaluation

Conclusion i Analysis

  • Conclusion: Banu, who is a computer engineer, can apply for the post in ABC company.
  • Reasoning: The statement only permits electrical engineers to apply. Since Banu is a computer engineer, and the statement provides no information about computer engineers' eligibility, we cannot logically conclude she can apply.

Conclusion ii Analysis

  • Conclusion: ABC is a company that recruits electrical engineers in abundance.
  • Reasoning: The statement mentions that electrical engineers "can apply for the posts currently vacant". This indicates some vacancies exist but does not quantify them. The term "in abundance" suggests a large number, which cannot be inferred solely from the statement.

Final Deduction

Based on the analysis, neither conclusion i nor conclusion ii logically follows from the given statement. Therefore, the correct option is that neither conclusion is valid.
