Directions: A statement is given, followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statement, disregarding commonly known facts.
Statement: Since the feeling of superiority is built in wherever there is social development, there is a little that can be done to arrest it except at the cost of social development.
Conclusion I: The feeling of superiority can be arrested without affecting social development.
Conclusion II: Social development and the feeling of superiority run side by side.
  1. Only conclusion I follows
  2. Only conclusion II follows
  3. Both conclusions I and II follow
  4. Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - Only conclusion II follows
The statement says the feeling of superiority is built in wherever there is social development, so the two run side by side: II follows. It also says the feeling can be arrested only at the cost of social development, which directly contradicts Conclusion I. Only II follows.
