Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Conclusion II and IV follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
We have a two-part premise: (1) every scientist (working) in America is talented; (2) some of these America-based scientists are Indian. We must deduce which conclusions are compelled.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
From existence of Indian scientists in America, and “in America → talented,” it follows that some Indian scientists are talented (IV). Moreover, those talented Indian scientists are (by premise) in America, i.e., “have migrated/are working there,” which supports II. Claims negating talent for Indian scientists (I) or universalizing talent-location (III) are not warranted.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Construct a model: 10 talented scientists worldwide, 3 in America (all talented), 2 of those are Indian. II and IV hold; I and III fail. The premises remain satisfied.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Reversing implications or assuming all talent resides in one country without support.
Final Answer:
Conclusion II and IV follows
