Mr. Gopal is a government employee.
Conclusions: 
I. Mr. Gopal went on strike. 
II. Mr. Gopal did not participate in the strike.
 

• A. Only conclusion I follows
• B. Only conclusion II follows
• C. Both conclusions I and II follow
• D. Either conclusion I or II follows

Hint:

In problems involving % s and groups, remember that membership in a group does not necessarily imply participation in all events associated with the group unless specified.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

From the given statement, we know that 60% of government employees went on strike, but this doesn't mean that 100% of government employees participated in the strike. Therefore, Mr. Gopal, being a government employee, could either have participated in the strike or not. 
- Conclusion I: Mr. Gopal went on strike. This is possible because 60% of government employees participated, but it's not certain that Mr. Gopal was among them. 
- Conclusion II: Mr. Gopal did not participate in the strike. This is also possible, as the remaining 40% of employees may not have participated. Since either conclusion is possible, the correct answer is Option D.
