      Question

      In each question below is given a statement followed by

      two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement. Statement: The government has launched a scheme to provide free midday meals to students in all government schools in order to reduce dropout rates and improve nutritional levels. Conclusions: I. Nutritional deficiency is one of the major concerns among school children in government schools. II. Lack of food could be a reason why students drop out of government schools.
      A Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Either I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Neither I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Both I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Conclusion I: The statement explicitly mentions that the scheme aims to improve nutritional levels, which implies that nutritional deficiency is a concern.
      So, Conclusion I follows. Conclusion II: The scheme also aims to reduce dropout rates, and it is based on the assumption that providing food may keep students in school. So, it is reasonable to infer that lack of food could be a reason for dropouts.
      So, Conclusion II also follows.
