Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Only Conclusion II follows.
Conclusions:
I. Does not follow (It does not explicitly or implicitly say that smoking is allowed in private places — there could be separate restrictions. Therefore, Conclusion I does not logically follow.)
II. Follows (Laws banning public smoking are generally made to protect people from health hazards of second-hand smoke. This is a logical inference from the purpose of such laws.)
