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 circles are rectangles.
Some rectangles are squares.
All squares are triangles.
Conclusions:
I. No circle is a triangle.
II. Some rectangles are triangles.
III. All rectangles are triangles.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Only conclusion II follows.
Conclusions:
I. No circle is a triangle → Does not follow (There is no direct relationship between the elements)
II. Some rectangles are triangles → Follows (Some rectangles which are square are triangles.)
III. All rectangles are triangles → Does not follow (It is possible but not definite.)
