Question and options

Two statements are followed by one conclusion. Decide whether the conclusion is definitely supported by the statements, not at all related with the statements, not supported by the statements to some extent, or contrary to the statements.
Statements: I. Lala Lajpat Rai was born in Punjab
II. Bhagat Singh was also born in Punjab
Conclusion: All freedom fighters were born in Punjab
  1. The conclusion is definitely supported by the statements
  2. The conclusion is not at all related with the statements
  3. The conclusion is not supported by the statements to some extent
  4. The conclusion is contrary to the statements

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - The conclusion is not supported by the statements to some extent
The statements give only two freedom fighters who were born in Punjab. Two examples cannot establish a claim about all freedom fighters, so the conclusion is not supported by the statements. It is still about the same subject, so it is not unrelated, and the statements do not say anything that contradicts it.
