Direction: 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. Give answer

  1. Statement:
    In India, most women see their dowry as the only share they will get in their parental property. What they object to are only extortionist demands.
    Conclusions :
    I. Indian women do not have any share in their parental property.
    II. Extortionist demand by the bridegroom 's side is a common practice in Indian society.


    1. if only conclusion I follows
    2. if only conclusion II follows
    3. if either I or II follows
    4. if neither I nor II follows, and
    5. if both I and II follow
Correct Option: D

I does not follow because we can't infer about the legal status from a particular perception. As the stray incidents of extortionist demands of dowry cannot be generalised, conclusion II is not correct.
