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:
All bangles are coins.
All coins are anklets.
All anklets are lockets.
Conclusions:
I. All lockets are bangles.
II. Some lockets are coins.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Only conclusion II follows.
The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. All lockets are bangles → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
II. Some lockets are coins → True (As all coins are anklets, and all anklets are lockets, so, some lockets are coins is also true.)
Hence, Only conclusion II follows.
