From the outside, it looks like a simple harmless object, but its real contents are so deadly that they are sufficient to blast off an entire compartment of a train or even a plane. Conclusion: I. The RDX explosive can cause massive destruction by killing a number of persons with a single explosion. II. The RDX explosive is only used to blast planes/trains as it is difficult to recognise in such settings.

  1. If only conclusion I follows.

  2. If only conclusion II follows.

  3. If conclusions I and II both follow.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Only the first conclusion can be drawn. It is clear from the statement that the RDX explosive can cause massive destruction and can kill a number of persons with one explosion. The second conclusion cannot be drawn since we have no indication to conclude that RDX is used only to blast planes or trains. Hence, Option (1) is correct.
