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: Madhu's house will be neat and tidy. Conclusion: i) Madhu likes to keep her house neat and tidy. ii) Madhu spends much time in cleaning her house well. 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.
D
Statement Analysis
The given statement is: "Madhu's house will be neat and tidy." This statement predicts a future condition of Madhu's house.
Conclusion Evaluation
-
Conclusion i: Madhu likes to keep her house neat and tidy.
The statement indicates the house *will be* neat. However, it doesn't provide information about Madhu's preferences or feelings. The house might be neat due to external factors (e.g., a cleaner, preparation for guests) rather than Madhu's personal liking for tidiness. Therefore, this conclusion is an assumption and does not logically follow with certainty.
-
Conclusion ii: Madhu spends much time in cleaning her house well.
Similar to the first conclusion, the statement only tells us the outcome (a neat house). It doesn't specify the cause or the effort involved. Madhu might spend a lot of time cleaning, or the house might be inherently easy to keep tidy, or she might employ other methods. The statement does not provide enough information to conclude that she spends "much time" cleaning. Hence, this conclusion is also an assumption and does not logically follow.
Final Decision
Since neither Conclusion i nor Conclusion ii can be logically inferred with certainty from the given statement, neither conclusion follows.
Therefore, the correct option is D, indicating that neither conclusion i nor ii follows.
