Statement: "Only hard-working students have scored more than 60 per cent marks in the annual exam. Rishabh scored 66 per cent marks."

Conclusion I:

Rishabh is very intelligent → Does not follow(because The statement only links scoring over 60% to being hard-working. It says nothing about intelligence. A student can be hard-working without necessarily being "very intelligent," or vice-versa. We cannot infer intelligence from the given information).

Conclusion II:

Rishabh is a hard-working student. →  Follows (because The statement says "Only hard-working students have scored more than 60 per cent marks." Rishabh scored 66%, which is more than 60%. Therefore, based on the statement, Rishabh must be a hard-working student.

Therefore, only conclusion II follows.

The correct answer is 2) Only conclusion II follows.
