Question

Given below a statement followed by 2 inferences. Choose the inference that can be inferred from the given statement by selecting the right option.
Statement: A mango farm has 100 trees and the average mango production from each tree is 1200.
Inferences:
I. There is no mango tree whose mango production is less than 1200
II. Mango farming is more beneficial than any other kind of farming

• A. Neither inference I nor inference II follows
• B. Both inferences I and II follow
• C. Only inference II follows
• D. Only inference I follows

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Inference Analysis Based on the Given Statement 

Step 1: Analyze Inference I

Inference I suggests that there is no tree whose production is less than 1200. However, the given statement only tells us that the average production is 1200. It does not guarantee that each tree produces exactly 1200 or that there are no trees producing less. Hence, Inference I does not follow.

Step 2: Analyze Inference II

Inference II suggests that mango farming is more beneficial than other kinds of farming, but the statement does not provide any information or comparison with other types of farming. Thus, Inference II also does not follow.

Conclusion:

The correct answer is (a) Neither inference I nor inference II follows.
