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
:All leathers are shoes.
Some bags are shoes.
Some bags are papers.
Conclusions:
I. Some papers are leathers.
II. Some shoes are leathers.
III. Some shoes are papers.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. only conclusion II follows.
The Venn diagram:
Conclusions:
I. Some papers are leathers. → not follow (Because there is no definite relation given between papers and leathers, so it can be possible only but not definitely true)
II. Some shoes are leathers. → Follow (All leathers are shoes, which means some shoes are leather is definitely true)
III. Some shoes are papers. → not follow (Because there is no definite relation given between shoes and papers, so it can be possible only but not definitely true)
Hence, the correct answer is 'Only conclusion II follows'.
