Read the following statement carefully and identify the conclusion that follows.

Statement: All actors are professionals. All professionals are creative. Some creative people are lazy.

Conclusions:

I. Some actors are lazy.

II. All actors are creative.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

Only II follows

From the chain: All actors → All professionals → All creative. So every actor is creative. Conclusion II follows.

"Some creative people are lazy" only tells us a subset of creative people is lazy. That subset may or may not include actors — there is no necessity. Conclusion I does not definitely follow.

Hence the correct answer is Only II follows.
