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: 

Only Automobiles and Auto parts, are considered as luxury goods. ABC Ltd., produces luxury goods.

 Conclusions: 

i) ABC Ltd., produces only automobiles. 

ii) ABC Ltd., produces only auto parts. 

Choose the appropriate one from the following options 

(A) Only conclusion i follows 

(B) Only conclusion ii follows 

(C) Either i or ii follows 

(D) Neither i nor ii follows 

(E) Both i and ii follow.

The correct answer is
D

Luxury Goods Production Analysis

The question asks to determine which conclusions logically follow from the given statement about ABC Ltd.'s production.

Statement Interpretation

  • Premise 1: "Only Automobiles and Auto parts, are considered as luxury goods." This establishes that the complete set of items classified as luxury goods is limited to these two categories: {Automobiles, Auto Parts}.
  • Premise 2: "ABC Ltd. produces luxury goods." This means that the products manufactured by ABC Ltd. must belong to the set defined in Premise 1. Therefore, ABC Ltd. produces items from {Automobiles, Auto Parts}.

Conclusion Validity Check

We must assess whether the given conclusions are necessarily true based on the statement.

  • Conclusion i: "ABC Ltd., produces only automobiles."
    • This implies ABC Ltd.'s product set is a subset of {Automobiles}.
    • However, ABC Ltd. could produce only automobiles, only auto parts, or both automobiles and auto parts, as all are luxury goods.
    • Thus, this conclusion is not guaranteed to be true.
  • Conclusion ii: "ABC Ltd., produces only auto parts."
    • This implies ABC Ltd.'s product set is a subset of {Auto Parts}.
    • Similarly, ABC Ltd. might produce automobiles, or both categories, not necessarily only auto parts.
    • Thus, this conclusion is also not guaranteed to be true.

Logical Outcome Determination

Since ABC Ltd. produces luxury goods, its products must fall within the {Automobiles, Auto Parts} set. It is possible for ABC Ltd. to produce items from both categories. If ABC Ltd. produces both, then neither Conclusion i (exclusively automobiles) nor Conclusion ii (exclusively auto parts) is accurate.

As there exists a scenario consistent with the premises where both conclusions are false, neither conclusion follows logically beyond a reasonable doubt.

Therefore, the correct choice is that neither conclusion follows.
