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.
Statement:
Some Bangles are Bracelets.
All chains are Rings.
Some Bracelets are Chains.
Conclusions:
(I) Some Bangles are Rings.
(II) Some Chains are Bangles.
(III) Some Rings are Bracelets.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Only Conclusion III follows.
The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. Some Bangles are Rings → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
II. Some Chains are Bangles → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
III. Some Rings are Bracelets → True (As some bracelets are chains and all chains are rings, so, some rings are bracelets is also true.)
