The correct answer is Only 1 i.e. Unless

Key Points

  • The first statement talks about how she (Mohini) scored full marks on her exam, while the second statement talks about how she would not be permitted to participate in her annual day.  
  • It would not make sense that even though she already scored full marks on her exam that someone would not allow her to participate in an extra-curricular activity (annual day). 
  • It would be more logical to assume that if it so happened that Mohini did not score full marks on her exam she would not be allowed to participate in the annual day. 
    • 'Unless' is a connector used to introduce an exception. 
    • One statement is the truth, except for in the following scenario. 

Thus, the final statement will be: 'Unless she scored full marks in her exam, Mohini would not be allowed to participate in the annual day.'
