Question and options

Direction: Two statements are given, followed by four conclusions numbered I, II, III and IV. You have to take the two given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follow the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements:
1. All statutes of legislature are law of the land.
2. Judge made law is laid down by the Courts.
Conclusions:
I. Constitution is a statute.
II. Both statutes and judge made law form the law of the land.
III. Courts make statutes.
IV. Judge made law is superior to statutes.
  1. Both I and IV follow
  2. Only IV follows
  3. Only II follows
  4. None follows

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - None follows
From the statements: statutes are law of the land, and judge-made law is made by courts. I (Constitution is a statute) does not follow. II needs judge-made law to be law of the land, which is not stated. III and IV are not supported. So none follows.
