Three Statements are given followed by three conclusions numbered I, II, and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
Some bottles are towels.
No towel is a pillow.
All bottles are coats.
Conclusions:
I. Some coats are towels.
II. No coat is a towel.
III. Some bottles are pillows.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Only conclusion I follows.
The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. Some coats are towels → True (As all bottles are coats, and some bottles are towels, so, some coats are towels.)
II. No coat is a towel → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
III. Some bottles are pillows → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
