Introduction / Context:
This problem asks what we may logically conclude when a hospital sets up a new counselling cell for stress management. We evaluate two conclusions: (I) the hospital has the needed resources; (II) patients and the public feel a need for such a cell. Only those inferences directly supported by the statement can be accepted.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- The college 'has started' a dedicated cell for stress-management counselling.
- Target beneficiaries: patients and the general public.
- Conclusion I: The hospital has the resources to start such activity.
- Conclusion II: Patients and public 'feel a need' for such a cell in the hospital.
Concept / Approach:
- An action completed ('has started') normally presupposes minimal capability and resources (space, staff, time) to perform it.
- Perceived need among beneficiaries is plausible but is not stated; institutions may start services proactively without measured demand.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Conclusion I: Starting a cell entails allocating staff and infrastructure; thus, the hospital must have necessary resources. I follows.Conclusion II: The statement does not say the decision came from surveyed need or public demand. It could be an initiative for community outreach or training. Therefore II does not necessarily follow.
Verification / Alternative check:
Even if beneficiaries benefit, their 'felt need' is not proven. But organizational capacity is demonstrated by the action itself.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
'Only II' assumes demand evidence not present. 'Either' is invalid since only one clearly follows. 'Neither' is too weak. 'Both' overstates the text.
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing 'reasonable motivation' with 'logically proved need.' We infer capability from action; we do not infer demand without explicit support.
Final Answer:
Only conclusion I follows
