Read the given statement and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information in the statement is true, even if they appear to be in variance with commonly known facts, select which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statement beyond reasonable doubt. Statement : Data shows that post graduates earn 20% more than graduates. Conclusions : I. If all graduates become post graduates, then average starting salaries for all will increase by 20%. II. If fees for post graduation match with graduation fees everybody will become post graduates. Correct Answer None of the Conclusions follows.
Conclusions:
I. If all graduates become postgraduates, then average starting salaries for all will increase by 20%.
The statement states that according to data postgraduates earn 20 % more than graduates. But there is nowhere mentioned in that statement that if all graduates become postgraduates, the average starting salary of all will increase by 20%.
Therefore, conclusion I do not follow.
II. If fees for post-graduation match with graduation fees everybody will become postgraduates.
The statement has no data regarding the comparison of fees of the post-graduation and the graduation.
Therefore, conclusion II do not follow.
Hence, the correct answer is "None of the Conclusions follows".
Important Points
If definitive words like all, always, at least, only, exactly, and so on are used, then such words make the conclusion invalid.
