The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the statements and conclusions logically. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Statements:** - **Statement 1:** "Raman is always successful." - This means that Raman belongs to the group of successful people. - **Statement 2:** "No fool is always successful." - This implies that if someone is a fool, they cannot be part of the successful group. 2. **Analyzing Conclusion 1: "Raman is a fool."** - If Raman is successful (from Statement 1), then according to Statement 2, he cannot be a fool because no fool can be successful. - Therefore, this conclusion is **false**. 3. **Analyzing Conclusion 2: "Raman is not a fool."** - Since Raman is successful, and no fool can be successful (from Statement 2), it logically follows that Raman cannot be a fool. - Therefore, this conclusion is **true**. 4. **Final Evaluation:** - Conclusion 1 is false (Raman is not a fool). - Conclusion 2 is true (Raman is not a fool). - Thus, only Conclusion 2 follows from the statements. ### Final Answer: Only Conclusion 2 follows. ---
