In the following question, two statements are given each followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follows from the given statements. Statement:(I) Determination is the key to success. If a person determines to achieve a certain goal in his or her life, no one can stop him/her from achieving it.(II) Prioritizing various determined goals is another important aspect of decision making. Conclusions:(I) If I determine to achieve three goals in near future, my energy will get divided in three parts and I can never succeed.(II) Making a prior plan for achieving those three things I can get near to all my goals.

  1. A
    Only conclusion II follows
  2. B
    Conclusion I and II both follow
  3. C
    Neither I nor II follow
  4. D
    Only conclusion I follows

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

* Conclusion I states that a person can "never succeed" if they have three goals because energy gets divided. This is a negative, extreme statement not substantiated or implied by the text. The statement only advises prioritizing multiple goals, not that success becomes impossible. Hence, Conclusion I does not follow. Conclusion II suggests that making a prior plan (which aligns with "prioritizing" mentioned in Statement II) helps move closer to those goals. This logically follows the essence of Statement II.Thus, only conclusion II follows.
