Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer :
Statement : Most people who stop smoking gain weight.
Assumptions :
I. If one stops smoking, one will gain weight.
II. If one does not stop smoking, one will not gain weight.
Answer & Solution
