Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: if only conclusion I follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Banning organisations is an extreme administrative/legal measure, typically grounded in security concerns. The logical task is to test which conclusions necessarily follow from the mere announcement of a ban.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
From a governmental decision to ban, it is safe to infer the Government’s concern for internal security (I). However, concluding the exact behaviour of all such groups (II) requires specifics not provided in the statement: the ban could be precautionary or evidence-based, but the latter is not explicitly stated.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) “Ban” → a strong internal security posture is implicitly indicated → I follows.2) II asserts that the groups “have been found” indulging in disruption. The statement does not present that finding as a premise; it only announces a ban.
Verification / Alternative check:
If the statement had said, “owing to their disruptive acts, the Government bans…,” II would follow. Lacking that clause, II is not compelled.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Only II: over-reads. Either I or II: too permissive. Neither: wrong because the security concern (I) necessarily underlies a ban of this nature.
Common Pitfalls:
Injecting general knowledge about naxalism instead of sticking to the text.
Final Answer:
if only conclusion I follows
