    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 improve road safety, the city administration has mandated that all commercial vehicles be equipped with speed governors that limit maximum driving speed. Conclusions: I. The city administration believes overspeeding by commercial vehicles is a major cause of road accidents. II. Commercial vehicle drivers have been demanding speed governors to reduce their workload.
    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 mandate aims to improve road safety through the installation of speed governors. This implies an underlying belief that over speeding contributes significantly to road accidents, so Conclusion I follows. Nothing in the statement suggests that drivers have requested speed governors, or that workload reduction is related to the decision. Hence, Conclusion II does not follow.
