Question
A statement is given followed by two conclusions
numbered I & II. Assuming the statement to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Every year, lakhs of people are rendered homeless due to the floods in Chennai. Conclusions: I. Chennai receives very heavy rainfall every year in monsoon season. II. Chennai experiences shortage of dams and barrages.Solution
Conclusion I is valid because the statement mentions that every year, floods in Chennai result in a large number of people becoming homeless. Since heavy rainfall is the primary cause of floods, this conclusion is logical. Â However, Conclusion II is incorrect, as it is not referenced anywhere in the given statement. A state can have an adequate number of dams and barrages yet still face flooding. Â Hence, the correct answer is (A).
