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 butter are honey.
Some honey are bread.
All bread are jams.
Conclusions:
I. Some jams are honeys.
II. All honey are butter.
III. Some jams are butter.
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 shown below:
Conclusions:
I. Some jams are honeys → True (As all bread are jams, and, some honey are bread, so, some jams are honeys).
II. All honey are butter → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn).
III. Some jams are butter → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn).
