Statements: No villager owns a car. Shankar owns a car. Choose the conclusion(s) that logically follow.

1.Shankar lives in a town

2.Shankar owns a car

AOnly conclusion I follows

BOnly conclusion II follows

CBoth conclusions I and II follow

DNeither conclusion I nor II follows ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Explanation

Neither statement can be counted as a valid inference.

'No villager owns a car' with Shankar owning one shows only that Shankar is not a villager.

Not being a villager does not place him in a town, so the first fails.

The second merely repeats the given premise word for word.

A restated premise is not a conclusion derived, so it does not follow.
