Question
Consider the given statement to be true and decide which
of the given conclusions can definitely be drawn from the statement. Statement: From next year students opting for the Science stream will be allowed to drop Physics and Chemistry from their core subjects. Conclusions: 1. Students who were avoiding the Science stream due to their weakness in Physics and Chemistry can now study in the Science stream. 2. Previously, students opting for the Science stream had to compulsorily study both Physics and Chemistry.Solution
The first conclusion can definitely be drawn from the statement, as these students may have earlier been avoiding taking up the Science stream for this reason. The second conclusion can also be drawn from the statement, because if the students are now being given a choice of dropping these two subjects, it means that earlier they didn’t have a choice. Thus, both 1 and 2 follow. Hence, the correct answer is (D).
