    Question

    A statement is given, followed by few conclusions. You

    must assume everything in the statement to be true, and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which conclusion(s) is/are true. Statement: A few businessmen and all the politicians involved in the 2G scam were arrested last week. Vijay and Arjun were among those arrested.   Conclusions:        I. Vijay and Arjun are politicians II. Vijay and Arjun are businessmen III. Vijay and Arjun are involved in the 2G scam IV. Vijay and Arjun are either politicians or businessmen.
    A Only conclusion I can be inferred Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion III can be inferred Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II and III can be inferred Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion III and IV can be inferred Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    If Vijay and Arjun were arrested, they are definitely either politicians or businessmen (but we do not know which). Hence, conclusions I and II cannot be inferred and conclusion IV can be inferred. Conclusion III obviously has to be correct because only those were arrested who were involved in the 2G scam. So both III and IV can be inferred.   Hence, the correct answer is (D).
