Tips and Tricks on Logical Deductions
This means that A leads to B, but does not mean the reverse.i.e. If B happened, A must have happened. In such situations A is a sufficient condition for B but it is not a necessary condition
The situation is better understood with an example as follows

(b) Shahrukh does not act like a villain
(c) Shahrukh acts like a villain
(d) Shahrukh does not act like a hero
(i) c, d only (ii) b, a only (iii)cd & ba (iv)None of these
This question is based on an either-or premise. Thus we can see that cd is correct. Since if he acts like a villain-(statement c) he will not act like hero (statement d)
