Statement - Trekking is good for health.
Conclusions -
I. All healthy people go for treks.
II. Trekking is sufficient for good health.
Answer: D
Here, the given statement mentions that trekking improves health.
But this does not mean that all healthy people go for treks, so, I does not follow.
Similarly, people may prefer other activities such as yoga, running or swimming etc to improve their health. Trekking alone may not be sufficient for each and everyone.
None of them follow here, the correct option is D.

Statement:
Eighty percent of the employees of X Ltd. earn more than Rs. 5000 per month. Seventy percent of employees of X Ltd. work as supervisors.
Conclusions:
I. All the supervisors earn more than Rs. 5000 per month.
II. Less than 100% of the supervisors earn more than Rs.5000 per month.
Answer: C
The given statement tells us that 80% of the employees of X Ltd earn above Rs. 5000 per month. It also tells us that 70% of the employees work as supervisors. From this we know that 20% of the employees earn Rs. 5000 or less. If this 20% are all supervisors then we can say that at least 50% of the supervisors earn more than Rs. 5000 per month. If none of these 20% employees are supervisors, it means that all the supervisors earn more than Rs. 5000 per month. Thus we can say that either 100% of the supervisors earn more than Rs. 5000, or conversely less than 100% of the supervisors earn more than Rs. 5000. This is exactly what conclusions I and II state, but we know that only one of them is definitely true. Hence, either I or II follows, but not both.

Statement:
Many big time cinema producers are becoming T.V. serial producers these days.
Conclusions:
I. T.V. Serials are not risky.
II. Movie making is very expensive.
Answer: D
As per the statement, we know that many cinema producers are producing T.V. serials now a days. The statement does not throw any light on the reason for this kind of a trend. It could be that cinema's have become money guzzlers, or that the audience for movies has shrunk, or that T.V. serials have become major money spinners or it could be any combination of the above factors. We could, however, conclude that producing serials involves very much the same processes as movies, as a result of which we can see movie producers turning to television serials. The conclusions given in the question are both not supported by evidence from the statement, hence both do not follow.

Statement:
In a certain area, 40%of women are in government service whereas 70% of the population of that area is in government service.
Conclusions:
I. 60% women have jobs in private undertakings.
II. 40% couples are in government service.
Answer: D
The statement gives us certain facts and figures about a particular area. It states that 40% of the women are in government service and 70% of the overall population is in government service. From this we cannot infer anything about the remaining 60% of the women of that area. Conclusion I states that 60% of the women are employed in the private sector which is not supported by the given statement, as it could be possible that these women are not employed at all. Hence I does not follow. We can discount conclusion II by taking the following example. Let us assume that this area has 100 male and 100 female members. Of this 40 women are employed in the government service and 100 males are all employed (as 70% of the overall population is employed). From this we cannot know whether there are any couples in this area or not and hence concluding 40% of the couples are married is not possible. Thus, II does not follow.
