Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

Only I follows

Solution :

Correct Answer: Option 1 - Only I follows


Step-by-step Explanation:


1. Analyzing the Given Statement:

"All registered voters received voter ID cards."

This statement tells us that every single person who is a registered voter is in possession of a voter ID card. Therefore, registered voters form a subset of the group of people who received voter ID cards (assuming the set of registered voters is non-empty in practical context).


2. Evaluating Conclusion I:

"Some people received voter ID cards."

Since all registered voters received voter ID cards, it directly implies that at least some people (specifically, the registered voters) received voter ID cards. Thus, Conclusion I logically follows from the given statement.


3. Evaluating Conclusion II:

"No unregistered person received a voter ID card."

The statement only provides information about registered voters receiving voter ID cards. It does not state or imply anything regarding unregistered people—they might or might not have received voter ID cards through other means or administrative errors. Making a definitive statement about unregistered people goes beyond the given premises. Thus, Conclusion II does not follow.


Conclusion:

Therefore, only Conclusion I logically follows from the given statement.
