Question:medium

The two statements given are followed by two Conclusions I and II. You have to consider the two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Statements:
• Statistics is a process of data analysis.
• Knowledge requires light to enlighten the core of cognitive aspect. Conclusions:
• Statistics is the tool to analyse the data and decision-making.
• Statistics is a static process for mind.

Show Hint

In statement-conclusion questions:
• Use only the information given.
• Do not add external knowledge.
• A conclusion must be logically unavoidable.
  • Only Conclusion I follows
  • Only Conclusion II follows
  • Both Conclusions I and II follow
  • Neither Conclusion I nor II follows
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation


Step 1:
Examine Conclusion I.
Statement I says: \[ \text{Statistics is a process of data analysis.} \] However, Conclusion I adds: \[ \text{decision-making} \] The idea of decision-making is not explicitly mentioned in the statements. Therefore, Conclusion I does not logically follow.

Step 2:
Examine Conclusion II.
Conclusion II states: \[ \text{Statistics is a static process for mind.} \] Nothing in either statement suggests that statistics is static or related to the mind in this manner. Hence Conclusion II also does not follow.

Step 3:
Determine the final result.
Since neither conclusion can be derived directly from the given statements, \[ {\text{Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows}} \] Hence, \[ {\text{Option (D)}} \] is the correct answer.
