Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Given statements:

A. Alcoholic drinks are injurious to health.
B. All old women drink whisky.

Given conclusions:

I. All old women have poor health → False (The condition of poor health is out of the context here. We can not definitely say about the health of the old women)
II. All young women are in good health → False (The condition of good health is out of the context. We can not definitely say about the health of the young women)

Hence, Neither conclusion I nor II follows is correct.
