    Question

    In this question, after a statement i and ii two conclusions have been given. Assuming the given in the statement together as truth, consider both the findings together and decide on which one of them follows beyond the logical and appropriate skepticism based on the information given in the statement.

    Statement: weight is proportional to height

    Conclusion:

    i) If weight grows, height decreases.

    ii) If height increases, then weight decreases.

    Choose the appropriate one of the following options

    (A) only follows the conclusions i

    (B) Only conclusions follow ii

    (C) either i or ii follows

    (D) neither i nor ii follows

    (E) both i and ii follow

    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Given the statement "weight is proportional to height," let's evaluate the conclusions: i) "If weight grows, height decreases." ii) "If height increases, then weight decreases." Since the statement asserts that weight is proportional to height, it does not imply a direct causal relationship between weight and height as suggested by either conclusion. Therefore, neither conclusion logically follows based solely on the statement. Hence, the correct option is (D) neither i nor ii follows.
