Question

The question below consists of a main statement followed by four options. Select the one that logically follows the main statement
Unless I score well, I will not get selected

• A. I was not selected, means I did not score well
• B. I am selected, implies I scored well
• C. I did not score well, means I will not be selected
• D. Both (2) and (3)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve this logical reasoning problem, we need to analyze the statement and the options provided. The main statement is a conditional statement: "Unless I score well, I will not get selected." This can be logically restated as "If I do not score well, then I will not get selected." Let's evaluate the options:

1. The first option states, "I was not selected, means I did not score well."
   • This option implies that not being selected is only because of not scoring well. However, it does not follow the structure of the original statement. There could be other reasons for not being selected despite scoring well. Hence, this option is not logically valid.
2. The second option states, "I am selected, implies I scored well."
   • This follows logically because if someone is selected, it implies they satisfied the necessary condition (scoring well). This means the condition set by the original statement is fulfilled.
3. The third option says, "I did not score well, means I will not be selected."
   • This directly follows from the original statement. If the condition (scoring well) is not met, then the conclusion (not getting selected) follows logically.
4. The fourth option is "Both (2) and (3)."
   • Since both the second and third options follow logically from the statement, this option is correct.

Therefore, the correct answer is indeed the fourth option: "Both (2) and (3)." These both logically follow from the main statement.
