Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The use of term .All. in the conclusion I makes it invalid. We know that, definite conclusion cannot be drawn from general statement. Ministers arrived at the public function in their cars. Thus, ministers have cars and they attended public function. Therefore, only II and III are implicit in the statement.
