Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The main statement is an either/or condition, meaning one of the two possibilities must be true: either Sita is sick or she is careless. Sentence (A) asserts that Sita is not sick, so the only possibility left is that she must be careless, as indicated by sentence (D). Therefore, the correct pair of sentences is AD.
Thus, the correct sequence is AD.
