In this question, a statement is given and there are two conclusions similar to that of i and ii. It is to be assumed that you have all the truth in the statement given, and then both the conclusions are to be taken concurrently and to determine which conclusions are reasonable without any reasonable conclusions from the information given in the statement. Statement: Every Saturday is a holiday. Today is the holiday. Conclusion: i) Today is Saturday. ii) Today is not Saturday. Choose the correct one from the next options A) Only conclusions ii is true. B) Only conclusions i is true. C) Either i or ii is true. D) None of the i or ii is true. E) i and ii are both true. Correct Answer C
i) Today is Saturday. → False (As, Every Saturday is a holiday does not mean that every holiday is a Saturday. Today may or may not be a Saturday. So this is possible but not definite.)
ii) Today is not Saturday. → False (it is possible but not definite..)
Thus, i and ii form a complementary pair and hence only one of the conditions can be true at a time.
Hence, either i or ii is true is the correct answer.
