In the 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. Give answer: (A) If only conclusion I follows (B) If only conclusion II follows (C) If either I or II follows (D) If both I and II follow. STATEMENT : Helium is inert by nature. CONCLUSION 1: It is used in weather balloons. CONCLUSION 2: It is used in tube lights.

In the 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. Give answer: (A) If only conclusion I follows (B) If only conclusion II follows (C) If either I or II follows (D) If both I and II follow. STATEMENT : Helium is inert by nature. CONCLUSION 1: It is used in weather balloons. CONCLUSION 2: It is used in tube lights. Correct Answer A

According to the given statement,

Conclusion I: It follows, because it is inert and inert gases are lighter than air, so it is used in balloons.

Conclusion II: This does not follow, though it is an inert gas, this characteristic is not sufficient for it to be used in tube lights.

Hence, “only Conclusion I” follows.
