Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Either conclusion I or II follows.
Interpretation: The statement says Mr X is alleged to be involved. The term "alleged" indicates a claim, not a confirmed fact.
Implication: Because the allegation may be either true or false, it is possible that Mr X is corrupt (supporting conclusion I) and it is also possible that Mr X is not involved (supporting conclusion II).
Conclusion: Both conclusions are logically possible, so the correct statement is that either conclusion I or II follows.
