Question 13

In the following question, two statements are given each followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follows from the given statements.
Statements:
(I) Out of 100 people 87 do regular exercising and 35 restrain from unnecessary diet.
(II) These 100 people belong to metro city region.
Conclusion:
(I) 35 % people do exercising and dieting.
(II) In metro city region people are more health conscious.

Solution

35 restrain from unnecessary diet which means 35% people do dieting but we cannot say definitely that these 35 people are among the 87 people who do exercise. The 13 people who do not exercise maybe among the 35 people. Hence Conclusion I is false.

100 people belong to the metro city region who are health conscious but there is no information about remaining people of the city. Hence Conclusion II is false.

$$\therefore\ $$Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows

Hence, the correct answer is Option C
