Home » Verbal Reasoning » Statement and Conclusion » Question

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:
    ''If You are attacked it is perfectly legitimate under international law to exercise the right of hot pursuit. At this moment we are not considering it. ''--- Union Home Minister of country 'X'
    Conclusions :
    I.Hot pursuit is the ultimate step.
    II. Country 'X' has been attacked by some other country.
    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

It is apparent from the statement that hot pursuit is one of the last steps. But we don't know whether it is the ultimate. Hence I does not follow. Again, ''if you are attacked'' does not necessarily imply that the country has been attacked. Hence II does not follow.
