Question 3
EasyOriginal questionStatement: A circular from the principal of Nandanvan Senior Secondary School says: "Class 12 students must submit their practical files by 30 November. Files submitted after this date will not be counted towards internal assessment."
Conclusions:
I. Most Class 12 students of the school submit their practical files late.
II. A Class 12 student of the school who submits the file on 5 December will get no internal-assessment credit for it.
Which conclusions follow?
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
I does not follow: the circular sets a deadline; it says nothing about how many students have missed deadlines before.
II follows: 5 December is after 30 November, and the circular says files submitted after that date will not be counted.
So only II follows.
Worth noting
A rule or deadline does not tell you that people usually break it. Reading a history into a notice is outside knowledge.
