Question

A statement is followed by two conclusions numbered (I) and (II). Assume everything in the statement to be true. Consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follow/s beyond or reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement. 
Statement: Money is a huge motivator for people. 
Conclusions: 
(I) People can be motivated by some other factors other than money. 
(II) People get motivated only when they expect to get some money for doing or behaving in a certain way.

• A. If only conclusion I follows
• B. If only conclusion II follows
• C. If either I or II follows
• D. If neither I nor II follows

Hint:

When working with statements and conclusions, remember that a statement doesn't always imply exclusivity unless stated explicitly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The statement says that "Money is a huge motivator for people." This implies that money is an important factor for motivation. However, it does not state that money is the only motivator. - Conclusion I: "People can be motivated by some other factors other than money." This is a valid conclusion because the statement only mentions that money is a huge motivator, but it does not exclude other factors from playing a role in motivation. Therefore, conclusion I is a logical possibility, but it is not certain based on the statement. - Conclusion II: "People get motivated only when they expect to get some money for doing or behaving in a certain way." This conclusion directly contradicts the statement, which does not say that money is the only motivator. It only emphasizes that money is a huge motivator but does not claim that other factors don't exist. Since neither conclusion logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information provided in the statement, the correct answer is:
