Instructions

In these questions, two statements are given followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider both 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 is/are definitely drawn from the given statements.

Question 148

Statements:
According to the evolution theory, man evolved from a monkey.
X is a monkey.
Conclusions:
I. X can become a man.
II. Man can become a monkey.

Solution

We are given that man evolved from a monkey. However, it is not given how much time the evolution actually took. It can be anything.
So even if X is a particular monkey, it may or may not live long enough to evolve into a man. 
Hence, we cannot say that X can become a man. 
Also, the question of man becoming a monkey again does not arise because we are not given whether the evolution is unidirectional or reversible. Hence, none follow.
