Statement: The President of XYZ party indicated that 25 independent Members of Legislative Assembly (M.L.A.) are seriously considering various options of joining some political party. But in any case, all of them collectively will join one party only.
Conclusions:
I. The 25 independent M.L.As will join XYZ party in a short period of time.
II. The 25 independent M.L.As will join some other political party in a short period of time.
Explanation:
To evaluate the conclusions, let's analyze the given statement and the possibilities.
The statement mentions that the 25 independent M.L.As are considering various options of joining some political party. However, it also specifies that all of them will collectively join one party only. This means that they will not join multiple parties individually.
Conclusion I: The 25 independent M.L.As will join XYZ party in a short period of time.
This conclusion assumes that the XYZ party is the only party being considered by the 25 independent M.L.As. However, the statement does not provide any information about which party they are likely to join. Hence, this conclusion cannot be inferred from the given statement.
Conclusion II: The 25 independent M.L.As will join some other political party in a short period of time.
This conclusion assumes that the 25 independent M.L.As will not join the XYZ party mentioned in the statement. However, the statement does not specify whether they will join XYZ party or some other political party. Therefore, this conclusion also cannot be inferred from the given statement.
Conclusion:
Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II can be inferred from the given statement. Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' - if neither conclusion I nor II follows.
