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) Women generally prefer window shopping.
(II) Males generally are not fond of window shopping and they feel that it is sheer waste of time.
Conclusions:
(I) Shopping behavior is different for males and females.
(II) If males go for window shopping, they don't utilize much time in selecting a product.
- AOnly conclusion II follows
- BConclusion I and II both follow
- CNeither I nor II follow
- DOnly conclusion I follows
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's test each conclusion according to the information provided directly in the statements:
Conclusion I: Statement (I) establishes that women prefer window shopping, whereas Statement (II) notes that males generally do not enjoy it and consider it a waste of time. This explicitly establishes that shopping behavior differs between males and females. Thus, Conclusion I follows.
Conclusion II: Statement (II) says males think window shopping is a waste of time, but it does not specify or provide any detail about how much time they take to select a product if they actually go window shopping. Thus, Conclusion II does not follow.
Therefore, only conclusion I follows.
Conclusion I: Statement (I) establishes that women prefer window shopping, whereas Statement (II) notes that males generally do not enjoy it and consider it a waste of time. This explicitly establishes that shopping behavior differs between males and females. Thus, Conclusion I follows.
Conclusion II: Statement (II) says males think window shopping is a waste of time, but it does not specify or provide any detail about how much time they take to select a product if they actually go window shopping. Thus, Conclusion II does not follow.
Therefore, only conclusion I follows.
