Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statements : Players who break various records in a fair way get special prizes. Player X broke the world record but was found to be under the influence of a prohibited drug. Conclusions : I. X will get the special prize. II. X will not get the special prize.

Only conclusion I follows
Only conclusion II follows
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows E. Both I and II follow

The correct answer is: Only conclusion II follows.

The statement says that players who break various records in a fair way get special prizes. The conclusion I says that X will get the special prize. However, the statement does not say anything about whether X broke the world record in a fair way. In fact, the statement says that X was found to be under the influence of a prohibited drug, which suggests that X may not have broken the world record in a fair way. Therefore, conclusion I does not follow.

The conclusion II says that X will not get the special prize. This conclusion is supported by the statement, which says that players who break various records in a fair way get special prizes. Since X was found to be under the influence of a prohibited drug, it is likely that X did not break the world record in a fair way. Therefore, X will not get the special prize.

The other options are incorrect because they either do not follow from the statement or are both supported by the statement. Option A says that only conclusion I follows. This option is incorrect because conclusion I does not follow from the statement. Option B says that only conclusion II follows. This option is correct. Option C says that either I or II follows. This option is incorrect because only conclusion II follows from the statement. Option D says that neither I nor II follows. This option is incorrect because conclusion II follows from the statement.
