Instructions

In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II.
You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.

Question 68

Statements: The old order changed yielding place to new.
Conclusions:
I. Change is the law of nature.
II. Discard old ideas because they are old.

Solution

The given statement is: "The old order changed, yielding place to new."
This suggests that something old has been replaced by something new, implying a natural process of transition or evolution.

Now we consider the conclusions one by one:

Conclusion I: "Change is the law of nature."
This conclusion is a broad generalisation, but it is a logical interpretation of the statement. The idea that the "old order" gives way to the "new" supports the notion that change is inevitable and natural. So, this conclusion logically follows.

Conclusion II: "Discard old ideas because they are old."
This is a subjective judgment, and it doesn't follow directly from the statement. The statement talks about a change occurring but doesn't say why the old was discarded — it doesn't imply that age alone is a reason to discard something. So, this conclusion does not logically follow.

Therefore, the correct answer is: a) Only conclusion I follows.
