Question : Directions: Two statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

Option 1: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Option 2: Only conclusion I follows
Option 3: Both conclusions I and II follow
Option 4: Only conclusion II follows

So, this conclusion doesn't follow.
So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
