B - The statement is probably true.
C - The statement cannot be determined.
D - The statement is definitely false.
E - Both i and ii follow.
Logical Reasoning: Statement and Conclusions
This solution evaluates the logical connection between the provided statement and its conclusions, determining which option best fits the analysis.
Statement Premise
Statement: "Every kid must practise to drink a litre of water daily."
As per the problem instructions, we assume this statement is factually true.
Conclusion Derivation
We examine whether the conclusions logically follow from the statement:
-
Conclusion i: "Drinking water is necessary as kids play daily."
- The statement does not mention children playing daily.
- The statement provides no reason, such as playing, for the necessity of drinking water.
- Therefore, Conclusion i cannot be logically inferred from the statement.
-
Conclusion ii: "Water protect the kids from diseases."
- The statement does not mention diseases or any protective health benefits of water.
- This conclusion introduces external information not present in the statement.
- Therefore, Conclusion ii cannot be logically inferred from the statement.
Since neither Conclusion i nor Conclusion ii logically follows from the statement, Option E ("Both i and ii follow") is incorrect.
Based on the logical analysis, the correct option is D.
