    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: To reduce rising pollution levels, the city administration has decided to restrict the use of private vehicles on alternate days starting next month. Conclusions: I. The administration believes that limiting the number of private vehicles on the road will help control pollution. II. Public transport services will be discontinued on alternate days.
    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

    The statement tells us that private vehicles will be restricted on alternate days to reduce pollution.
    This makes it clear that the administration thinks such a restriction will help control pollution — which directly supports Conclusion I. There is no information given about public transport being discontinued, and such an idea is actually contrary to the logic of reducing private vehicle usage. Therefore, Conclusion II does not follow. Thus, only Conclusion I follows.
