Statement: "The MT pen costs Rs.25 per piece", read a board in a stationery shop.

Conclusion 1: This follows, as one pen is rupees 25, then 5 pens will be 125 rupees.

Conclusion 2: This does not follow, because nothing is mentioned about the high cost of the pen.

Hence, “only conclusion 1” follows
