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. Statement: Conclusion: Choose the appropriate one from the following options
Every Australian speaks 6 languages. Antony speaks 6 languages.
i) Antony is an Australian
ii) People from other countries do not speak 6 languages.
(A) Only conclusion i follows
(B) Only conclusion ii follows
(C) Either i or ii follows
(D) Neither i nor ii follows and
(E) Both i and ii follow.
Analyzing the Statement Logic
The problem involves evaluating logical conclusions based on a given statement. We need to determine if the conclusions are necessarily true given the statement.
Statement: Every Australian speaks 6 languages. Antony speaks 6 languages.
Evaluating Conclusion i: Antony is an Australian
- The statement establishes that speaking 6 languages is a characteristic common to all Australians. (If Australian, then speaks 6 languages).
- However, it does not state that *only* Australians possess this characteristic. People from other countries might also speak 6 languages.
- Knowing that Antony speaks 6 languages aligns with the characteristic of Australians, but it doesn't prove his nationality. He could be non-Australian.
- Therefore, Conclusion i does not logically follow from the statement.
Evaluating Conclusion ii: People from other countries do not speak 6 languages
- The statement provides information exclusively about Australians and their language skills.
- It does not offer any information, positive or negative, about people from other countries.
- We cannot logically infer anything about the language abilities of non-Australians based solely on the given statement.
- Therefore, Conclusion ii does not logically follow from the statement.
Final Determination
Based on the analysis, neither Conclusion i nor Conclusion ii necessarily follows from the provided statement.
- Conclusion i is uncertain because speaking 6 languages might not be exclusive to Australians.
- Conclusion ii is uncertain because the statement doesn't mention non-Australians' language abilities.
Thus, the correct choice is that neither conclusion follows.
