Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: if only Conclusion I follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:The stem contrasts visible commercial advertising with a “quiet” revolution within government organisations. We must examine two possible conclusions and decide which is guaranteed by the statement.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:Conclusion I generalises the stated locus of change (government bodies adopting/computerising). Conclusion II adds an unrelated claim about advertising behaviour by government, which is not contained in the stem.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Conclusion I (“Both Central and State Governments are computerising rapidly”): The stem’s phrase “real revolution … in government organisations” strongly supports rapid computerisation across the public sector. Hence I follows.Conclusion II (“The government does not fill magazine pages with computer advertisements”): The stem never attributes the ads to any party, nor denies government advertising. This does not follow.Verification / Alternative check:Even if some ads are governmental, the contrast (ads vs quiet internal change) remains. The statement’s truth does not depend on II being true.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Selecting II (alone/either) adds unsupported detail. “Neither” would deny I, which is exactly what the stem claims.Common Pitfalls:Reading more into who buys magazine ads than the statement provides.
Final Answer:if only Conclusion I follows
