RRB NTPC · Question 51

`Given below is a statement followed by some conclusions. You have to take the given statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance with the commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the given statement. Statement: Success cannot be achieved without hard work. Conclusions: I. Every hard working person is successful. II. Every successful person is hardworking.

  1. Only conclusion I follows

  2. Only conclusion II follows

  3. Both I and II follow

  4. Neither of them follows

Show answer & explanation

Answer: (B) Only conclusion II follows

Explanation

'Success cannot be achieved without hard work' means hard work is necessary for success, so every successful person must have worked hard; conclusion II follows. But hard work is not stated to be enough for success, so not every hard-working person need succeed; conclusion I does not follow.
