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. All buildings are towers.
II. No tower is a shop.
III. Some shops are offices.
Conclusions:
I. Some offices are towers.
II. No building is a shop.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Only conclusion II follows.
The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. Some offices are towers → False (It is possible but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
II. No building is a shop → True (As all buildings are towers, and no tower is a shop, so, no building is a shop is also true.)
