Statement — None of the bank unions could comprehend that the information-technology wave was unstoppable; unless banks learned to swim along with the tide, they would be swept away.\n\nConclusions —\nI. A time will come when banks are rendered redundant by information technology.\nII. Information technology is yet to make its impact on banks.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: if neither I nor II follows

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The statement warns that IT disruption is unstoppable and non-adopters risk being “swept away.” We test claims about banks becoming redundant (I) and IT not yet impacting banks (II).



Given Data / Assumptions:


  • Premise implies strong impact already and in future; it advocates adaptation.
  • It does not claim banks will vanish; it claims non-adapting banks will suffer.


Concept / Approach:
I overstates to “redundant banks” rather than “banks must adapt”; not entailed. II contradicts the premise—if the tide is unstoppable and threatens to sweep away laggards, the impact is real, not absent.



Final Answer:
Neither I nor II follows.
