Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. If only I follows.
I. Many students are not paying attention to studies due to mobile games.
As students are addicted to games they are not paying attention to their studies as they are stuck to that phone. So, inference I follows.
II. It is only because of mobile games that students fail in the examination.
We cannot be very sure that mobile games are the only reason why students fail in the examination. Hence, inference II does not follow.
