Statements: Only graduates are eligible for this post. Most rickshaw-pullers are graduates. Choose the conclusion(s) that logically follow.

1.Some rickshaw-pullers are eligible for this post

2.All those eligible for this post are graduates

AOnly conclusion I follows

BOnly conclusion II follows ✓ Correct

CBoth conclusions I and II follow

DNeither conclusion I nor II follows

Correct answer: (B) Only conclusion II follows

Explanation

Only the second conclusion, that all eligible persons are graduates, follows.

'Only graduates are eligible' means eligibility requires being a graduate.

That is exactly the claim 'all who are eligible are graduates'.

But being a graduate is necessary, not sufficient, for eligibility.

So rickshaw-pullers who are graduates need not be eligible, and the first fails.
