Computers were invented for performing only high-end useful computations. However, it is no understatement that they have taken over our world today. The internet, for example, is ubiquitous. Many believe that the internet itself is an unintended consequence of the original invention. With the advent of mobile computing on our phones, a whole new dimension is now enabled. One is left wondering if all these developments are good or, more importantly, required.

Which of the statement(s) below is/are logically valid and can be inferred from the above paragraph?

(i) The author believes that computers are not good for us.

(ii) Mobile computers and the internet are both intended inventions.

  1. (i) only
  2. (ii) only
  3. Both (i) and (ii)
  4. Neither (i) nor (ii)

"Many believes that the internet itself is unintended consequence of the original invention. So (ii) statement does not follow from the passage."

The author has no where said that the computers are bad, authoring is talking about the way computers are being used today and the author questions this way. So, (i) statement does not follow.

Hence, option (D) is the answer.
