Zorluk: OrtaStatement and Conclusions or Inferences

Read the given statements carefully and determine which of the conclusions logically follows.

Statement 1: Under the 'Digital Panchayat' policy, rural broadband funding is disbursed only to village councils that have fully digitized their financial records for the preceding three years.
Statement 2: The Haripur village council recently received rural broadband funding under this policy.

Conclusions:
I. The Haripur village council has fully digitized its financial records for the preceding three years.
II. The primary objective of the 'Digital Panchayat' policy is to promote financial transparency in village administration.

Which of the following options is correct?

  1. Only Conclusion I followsCevap
  2. B
    Only Conclusion II follows
  3. C
    Both Conclusions I and II follow
  4. D
    Neither Conclusion I nor II follows

Cevap

Only Conclusion I follows
Conclusion I is a direct logical deduction because Statement 1 establishes digitizing financial records as an absolute prerequisite ('only to') for funding. Since Statement 2 confirms Haripur received funding, they must have fulfilled this prerequisite. Conclusion II introduces unstated information about the policy's primary objective, which cannot be logically derived from the text.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the logical structure of Statement 1.
The phrase 'disbursed only to' creates a necessary condition. It implies that receiving funding guarantees the village council has fully digitized its records.
Identifying necessary and sufficient conditions is required to evaluate logical deductions accurately.
2
Evaluate Conclusion I against the statements.
Statement 2 confirms Haripur received the funding. Based on the rule in Statement 1, Haripur must have met the necessary condition. Therefore, Conclusion I is logically valid.
Applying the specific case from Statement 2 to the general rule in Statement 1 verifies the conclusion.
3
Evaluate Conclusion II against the statements.
Conclusion II introduces the 'primary objective' of the policy. The given statements only outline a funding prerequisite, not the intent or ultimate goals of the policy. Therefore, Conclusion II does not follow.
Valid conclusions must be derived strictly from the provided text, without bringing in external real-world assumptions.
