Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statements : The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it. Conclusions : I. Your life will be dull if you don’t face a problem. II. To escape from problems, you should always have some solutions with you.

The correct answer is: Only conclusion II follows.

The statement “The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it” does not imply that your life will be dull if you don’t face a problem. It is possible to have a problem-free life, but it is also possible to have a problem-filled life that is still enjoyable. The statement also does not imply that to escape from problems, you should always have some solutions with you. It is possible to solve problems without having solutions in advance.

Conclusion II follows from the statement because if the best way to escape from a problem is to solve it, then having solutions to problems will make it easier to escape from them. However, conclusion I does not follow from the statement because the statement does not say anything about whether or not facing problems makes life dull.
