Directions: In the following questions, a statement or two are followe...
Statement: All those political prisoners were released on bail who had gone to jail for reasons other than political dharnas. Bail was not granted to persons involved in murders.
Conclusion I: No political prisoner had committed murder.
Conclusion II: Some politicians were not arrested.
Explanation:
The given statement provides two conditions for the release on bail of political prisoners:
1. Political prisoners who had gone to jail for reasons other than political dharnas were released on bail.
2. Bail was not granted to persons involved in murders.
Now, let's analyze the conclusions:
I. No political prisoner had committed murder.
- This conclusion can be derived from the given statement. Since bail was not granted to persons involved in murders, it implies that political prisoners, who were released on bail, cannot have committed murder. Therefore, conclusion I follows.
II. Some politicians were not arrested.
- This conclusion cannot be directly derived from the given statement. The statement only provides information about political prisoners who were released on bail, not about all politicians. It is possible that some politicians were arrested for reasons other than murder and were not released on bail. Therefore, conclusion II does not follow.
In conclusion, only conclusion I follows from the given statement, while conclusion II does not. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - if only conclusion I follows.
