Statements: In a one-day cricket match, the total runs made by a team were 200. Out of these, 160 runs were made by spinners. Conclusions: I. 80% of the team consists of spinners. II. The opening batsmen were spinners.
- Only conclusion I follows
- Only conclusion II follows
- Either I or II follows
- Neither I nor II follows
Correct answer: Neither I nor II follows
Solution
The statement gives the number of runs scored by spinners, not the number of spinners in the team. So conclusion I does not follow. Nothing is said about who opened the batting, so conclusion II also does not follow.
