In this question, a statement is followed by two

Solution

From the statement provided, we can infer the following: I. No 11th standard students can apply for the course. This cannot be inferred from the statement. The statement only mentions the eligibility criteria for admission, but it does not mention anything about the eligibility of 11th standard students. So, Inference I cannot be derived. II. Students who have appeared for 10th standard exams will get admission only if they score 80% or more in their exam. This can be inferred from the statement. The statement clearly states that the eligibility for admission to the course is a minimum of 80% marks in the 10th standard board exams. Additionally, it mentions that students who have appeared for the 10th standard board exams this year can also apply, indicating that their marks will determine their eligibility for admission. So, Inference II can be derived. Therefore, the correct answer is: 2. Only (II) can be inferred.
