Download Solution PDFGiven statement:
In the rural assembly elections, the ballot box method was used for voting. After the results came out, it came into light that only 15% of the women in the village voted in the elections.
Conclusion I: Women didn't know about the date of the elections.
This is an assumption, not a conclusion.
The statement only mentions that 15% of women voted — it gives no information about the reasons behind the low turnout. So, assuming a lack of awareness is speculative.
Conclusion I does NOT follow.
Conclusion II: Only those 15% were registered and had a valid voting ID card.
Again, this conclusion cannot be drawn from the given statement. There’s no mention of voter registration or ID cards in the statement. It’s possible more women were registered but chose not to vote.
Conclusion II does NOT follow.
Thus, Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
