Statement:

Chairs that have cushions on them are comfortable. Studies show that the persons who always use comfortable chairs do not have cervical issues.

All persons with cervical issues do not have cushioned chairs.

Which of the following option is correct based on the statement and conclusions?

Answer

Correct Answer : b ) Only conclusion II follows

Explanation :

Conclusion I do not follow as it is not inferred from the statement that persons who do not have cushioned chairs must have cervical issues.

While the conclusion ‘All persons with cervical issues do not have cushioned chairs’ will be correct as it can be inferred directly from the statement that the persons who always use comfortable chairs do not have cervical issues and vice versa who have cervical issues do not use a comfortable chair.

Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
