    As far as academic record is concerned, Mr X and Mr Y have almost equal records but in dishonesty one lags behind the other.
    Conclusions :
    I. Mr X is more dishonest than Mr Y.
    II. Mr Y is more dishonest than Mr X.
    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
