In the following logical reasoning question, two general statements about shopping behaviour are given, followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to treat the statements as true even if they appear to conflict with common experience, and then decide which conclusion or conclusions logically follow. Statements: (I) Women generally prefer window shopping. (II) Males generally are not fond of window shopping and they feel that it is a sheer waste of time. Conclusions: (I) Shopping behaviour is different for males and females. (II) If males go for window shopping, they do not utilise much time in selecting a product. Choose the option that correctly identifies which conclusion or conclusions follow.

Introduction / Context:
This question examines how to interpret general statements about behaviour and then judge whether the suggested conclusions necessarily follow. The situation concerns attitudes of males and females towards window shopping. The correct reasoning must stay within what is clearly implied by the statements and avoid adding extra assumptions.

Given Data / Assumptions:
Accept the following as true for the purpose of this problem.

• Statement I: Women generally prefer window shopping.
• Statement II: Males generally are not fond of window shopping and they feel that it is a sheer waste of time.
• Conclusion I: Shopping behaviour is different for males and females.
• Conclusion II: If males go for window shopping, they do not utilise much time in selecting a product.
• The word “generally” indicates common tendency, not absolute rules.

Concept / Approach:
In statement and conclusion questions, we ask whether the conclusion is a necessary outcome of the given statements. If the conclusion goes beyond what is clearly implied or introduces a new idea, it does not follow. We focus on how the two groups feel about window shopping and what can safely be deduced.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Even if males feel that window shopping is a waste of time, it is still possible that some males may be forced to go and may end up taking a lot of time because of indecision, external pressure, or other reasons. The given statements do not rule out such situations. Hence, conclusion II is not guaranteed.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Option A states that only conclusion II follows, ignoring the clear contrast in attitudes described by the statements. Option B claims both conclusions follow, but we saw that conclusion II is not a necessary outcome. Option C says neither conclusion follows, which is incorrect because conclusion I is a straightforward summary of the different attitudes expressed.

Common Pitfalls:
Test takers sometimes read too much into words like “waste of time” and imagine many additional behavioural details. Logical reasoning questions require you to stay strictly within what is stated or inevitably implied. Feeling that an activity wastes time does not automatically mean the person will always spend very little time on it.

Final Answer:
Only conclusion I is logically supported by the statements. Thus, the correct choice is “Only conclusion I follows.”
