Statement: “Sealed tenders are invited from competent contractors experienced in executing construction jobs.” Conclusions: I. Tenders are invited only from experienced contractors. II. It is difficult to find competent tenderers for construction jobs. Which conclusion(s) logically follow(s)?

Introduction / Context:The notice explicitly restricts eligibility to “competent contractors experienced in executing construction jobs.” This is a stated condition.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Eligibility criterion: prior experience (and competence) is required.
• No information about market difficulty in finding such contractors.

Concept / Approach:Conclusion I restates the explicit restriction; Conclusion II speculates about availability and difficulty, which the statement does not address.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They either deny I or add II without evidence.

Final Answer:If only Conclusion I follows.
