    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. ┬а Statements: Australians are strengthened by Pat Cummins' return for the final test after serving a suspension. Cummins was suspended for breaching COVID-19 protocols and missed the third test. However, his absence did not impact AustraliaтАЩs performance as initially feared. ┬а Conclusions: I. Pat Cummins was suspended for applying saliva to the ball, violating the new playing rules introduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. II. Australians were able to secure a favorable result in the 3rd test match.
    A Only conclusion I follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither conclusion follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The statement mentions that Pat Cummins was suspended for violating COVID-19 protection norms but does not specify the exact nature of the offense. As a result, Conclusion I cannot be drawn based on the available information. ┬а The latter part of the second sentence states that Cummins' absence did not affect the team's performance as initially feared. This implies that, despite his absence, Australia managed to achieve a favourable result. Therefore, Conclusion II is logical and correct. ┬а Hence, the correct answer is (B).
