Question

The question below consists of a main statement followed by two statements. Select the one that logically follows the main statement
"Private property, trespassers will be prosecuted" - A notice on a plot of land. 
Given below are two statements 
Statement I: The passer-by may read the notice and may not trespass. 
Statement II: The people are scared of prosecution 
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

• A. Only Statement I is implicit
• B. Only Statement II is implicit
• C. Both Statements I and II are implicit
• D. Neither I nor II are implicit

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this logical reasoning question, we need to analyze the given statement "Private property, trespassers will be prosecuted" and determine which of the two provided statements logically follow from it.

1. Understanding the Main Statement:
   • The main statement is a warning sign indicating that the owner of the private property intends to take legal action against anyone who trespasses.
   • The purpose of this sign is to deter people from entering the property without permission by highlighting the consequence of prosecution.
2. Analyzing Statement I:
   • Statement I suggests that a passer-by may read the notice and consequently may choose not to trespass.
   • This is a logical deduction. The presence of the warning aims to prevent trespassing, so it implies that reading the notice might influence someone not to enter.
   • Therefore, Statement I is implicit as it aligns with the intention behind the warning sign.
3. Analyzing Statement II:
   • Statement II suggests that people are deterred because they are scared of prosecution.
   • This is also logical. The threat of legal action (prosecution) is serious and serves as a deterrent, thus the notice relies on people's fear of legal consequences to prevent trespassing.
   • Therefore, Statement II is also implicit as it reflects the underlying idea that fear of prosecution keeps trespassers away.
4. Conclusion:
   • Both statements logically follow from the main statement.
   • Therefore, the correct answer is that Both Statements I and II are implicit.
