Q1. A statement below is followed by two conclusions I and II. Assuming that everything in the statement is correct, consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them follows beyond reasonable doubt, from the information given in the statement.
Statement I : In a one day match, total runs made by a team were 200. Out of which 160 runs were made by
the spinners.
Conclusions I : 80% of the team consists of spinners
Conclusions II : The opening batsmen were spinners
A Only I follows
B Only II follows
C Both I and II follow
D Neither I nor II follows
EXPLANATION
D
From the given statement, we can conclude that 80% of the runs are scored by spinners, which doesn’t imply
that 80% of the team consists of spinners. Therefore, the conclusion 1 is not correct.
Similarly, we cannot conclude anything about the openers, whether they are spinners or not. Hence, conclusion
2 is not correct.
Therefore, the correct answer is D.
