Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Explanation: The given statement describes a single instance in which Chandan was persuaded by his parents and other family members to join the family trade. It does not provide general premises that support the broad prescriptions in the conclusions.
Conclusion I: The statement does not justify the general claim that people should take up their family profession or that doing so will make the family prosper. A single example of persuasion cannot be generalized into a universal rule.
Conclusion II: The statement does not state that Chandan joined the family business to keep family members happy, nor does it claim that choosing the family business is necessary to keep the family happy. That necessity is not supported by the passage.
Therefore, neither conclusion is supported by the information given.
