    Solution

    Let's analyze the statement and conclusions: Statement: Every Monday is a working day. Today is a working day. Conclusion: i. Today is Monday. ii. Only Monday is a working day. From the statement, we know that every Monday is a working day. However, it doesn't explicitly state that today is Monday; it only says that today is a working day. Therefore, we cannot conclusively determine whether today is Monday based solely on the statement. Regarding conclusion ii, it states that only Monday is a working day. However, the statement does not provide information about the working status of other days of the week, so we cannot conclude that only Monday is a working day. Given this analysis, neither conclusion i nor ii can be logically inferred from the statement alone. So, the correct answer is: (D) neither i nor ii conclusion is rational.
