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:
Some chairs are bedsheets.
All cots are chairs.
All pillows are bedsheets.
Conclusions:
I. Some pillows are chairs.
II. Some cots are bedsheets.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. Some pillows are chairs → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
II. Some cots are bedsheets → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
Hence, Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
