Explanation
Statements:All hill stations have a sun-set point.X is a hill station.Conclusions:I. X has a sun-set point. This follows.Since X is a hill station and all hill stations have a sun-set point, it logically follows that X has a sun-set point.II. Places other than hill stations do not have sun-set points. This does not follow.The statement only tells us about hill stations having sun-set points.It says nothing about other places.

About Logical Problems
Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
