SSC CGL (Prelims) General: Statement and Conclusion questions with solutions

Q1. Statement: The city received the highest rainfall in 20 years. Conclusions: I. The city experienced flooding. II. Rainfall in previous years was lower.

1. Only I follows
2. Only II follows
3. Both follow
4. Neither follows

Answer: Only II follows

The statement directly implies that rainfall in previous years was lower than this year's rainfall, so conclusion II follows. Flooding is not stated or guaranteed, so conclusion I does not follow.
