Question

YESPYQ · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: c) Only II follows. Let's analyze carefully. Statement: If he works hard, he will be successful in life. This is a conditional statement — it tells us what will happen if he works hard. It does not say whether he actually works hard or not. Conclusion I: He is a hard worker. This does not follow, because the statement never says he does work hard — only what would happen if he did. So, ❌ Conclusion I does not follow. Conclusion II: Hard work pays. This is consistent with the statement — the statement implies that working hard leads to success, i.e., hard work pays. So, ✅ Conclusion II follows. Hence, Only II follows is the correct answer.
