In this question, three statements are given, followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follows/follow from the statements.

Statements:
I. No streak is a line.
II. Some lines are bands.
III. All bands are flashes.

Conclusions:
I. Some flashes are streaks.
II. No flash is a line.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Conclusions:

I. Some flashes are streaks - Does not follow (As no streak is a line, some lines are bands and all bands are flashes. So, it is possible but not definitely true)

II. No flash is a line - Does not follow (As some lines are bands and all bands are flashes. So, no direct relation is given between flash and line therefore it is definitely false)
