RRB NTPC · Question 54

Below are given statements followed by some conclusions. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with the commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the given statements. Statement: Fortune favours the brave. Conclusions: I: Risks are necessary for success. II: Cowards die many times before their death.

  1. Either Conclusion I or II follows.

  2. Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

  3. Only Conclusion II follows.

  4. Only conclusion I follows

Show answer & explanation

Answer: (B) Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Explanation

The proverb only says that luck favours the brave. It does not state that risks are necessary for success, and it says nothing about cowards. Both conclusions bring in ideas not present in the statement, so neither follows.
