(B) (ii) only
(C) both (i) and (ii)
(D) neither (i) nor (ii)
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Given statement doesn’t say that –
“All hill-stations have a lake” but any place having a lake is surely a hill station.
—> Ooty may or may not be a hill station
Hence (i) is false
—> Here, it is not a compulsion that a place need to have exactly one lake to be a hill station.
Hence (ii) is also false
