Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance from commonly established facts, decide which of the conclusions from / logically follows these statements. Statement: Poverty makes man hardworking. Hardworking people are not poor. Conclusion: I. A person must be poor to be hardworking. II. Diligence helps to remove poverty.
Only conclusion II follows
Analyzing Statements and Conclusions
This question asks us to analyze two statements and determine which of the given conclusions logically follows from them, assuming the statements are true.
Understanding the Statements
Let's break down the information provided in the statements:
- Statement 1: "Poverty makes man hardworking." This can be interpreted as: If a person is poor, then that person is hardworking. We can represent this relationship as: Poverty → Hardworking.
- Statement 2: "Hardworking people are not poor." This means: If a person is hardworking, then that person is not poor. We can represent this relationship as: Hardworking → Not Poor.
Evaluating the Conclusions
Now let's evaluate each conclusion based on the given statements:
- Conclusion I: "A person must be poor to be hardworking." This implies: If a person is hardworking, then that person is poor (Hardworking → Poor). Let's compare this with our statements. Statement 2 says Hardworking → Not Poor. Conclusion I directly contradicts Statement 2. Therefore, Conclusion I does not logically follow from the statements.
- Conclusion II: "Diligence helps to remove poverty." Diligence means being hardworking. Statement 2 says Hardworking → Not Poor. This statement tells us that being hardworking leads to a state where a person is not poor. If being hardworking results in not being poor, it logically implies that diligence (being hardworking) is effective in moving away from a state of poverty, or in other words, it helps to remove poverty. This conclusion is consistent with and logically follows from Statement 2.
Summary of Analysis
Based on our analysis:
- Conclusion I (Hardworking → Poor) contradicts Statement 2 (Hardworking → Not Poor).
- Conclusion II (Diligence helps to remove poverty) is a logical inference from Statement 2 (Hardworking → Not Poor).
Therefore, only Conclusion II logically follows from the given statements.
