A statement is given followed by two inferences I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given inferences, if any, follow from the given statement? Statement: Anyone who participates in executing dowry will be punished under the law. Inferences: I. Those who do not participate in dowry are law-abiding citizens. II. Giving dowry is as wrong as asking for dowry.  Correct Answer <p style="margin-left:36pt">Only inference II follows</p>

Given that the law has made it illegal for any one to participate in executing dowry illegal, it can be safely inferred that giving dowry is as wrong as asking for it. However, just because one does not participate in dowry does not mean that they are law abiding citizens either. Therefore only inference II can be drawn making option 2 the correct answer.
