Statement: All the trainees who cleared the written test were called for the interview. Ravi, one of the trainees, was not called for the interview. Conclusions: I. Ravi did not clear the written test. II. Everyone who was called for the interview had cleared the written test. Which of the conclusions follows from the statement?

Question

Accepted Answer

Only conclusion I follows. "Cleared the test" guarantees "called for interview"; so "not called" guarantees "did not clear" — I follows by contraposition. The statement does not say that only those who cleared were called, so others may have been called too; II is the converse and does not follow.
