Option 5 : Both conclusions 1 and 3 follow

The correct answer is option 5, i.e. Both conclusions 1 and 3 follow.

In this type of question, conclusion is not specifically mentioned. It needs to be deduced from the given statements.

From both the statements, we infer that with the announcement of the buyout of Apollo, a buzz has been created and as a result the share prices have fell down and has intensified the competition between the competitors.

Conclusion 2 can be rejected as it explicitly highlights the percentage of downfall in the shares which cannot be concluded as it is no where mentioned in the given statement.

Both conclusions 1 and 3 are in the same direction and are suitable conclusions based on the information stated. First conclusion deals with the fact that hospitals will be challenged and from conclusion 3, the fact that the competitors will be affected after the announcement.

As both 1 and 3 are relevant and 2 is irrelevant. Thus, the most correct answer choice is option 5 and rest of the options can be rejected.
