    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: After observing a rise in lifestyle-related diseases, the health ministry launched a nationwide campaign promoting daily physical activity and balanced diets. Conclusions: I. The health ministry believes that lack of physical activity and poor diet are major contributors to lifestyle-related diseases. II. The health ministry wants to reduce the cost of medical treatment in the country.
    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 campaign focuses on promoting physical activity and balanced diets in response to rising lifestyle-related diseases. This clearly assumes that unhealthy lifestyles (lack of activity, poor diet) contribute to these diseases.
    So, Conclusion I follows. The statement does not mention anything about reducing medical costs. That is not a necessary assumption.
    Hence, Conclusion II does not follow.
