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:
No toy is beautiful.
Some beautiful are actresses.
All actresses are rich.
Conclusions:

II. Some actresses are beautiful.
III. Some actresses are rich.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Only conclusions II and III follow.
The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. No toy is rich → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
II. Some actresses are beautiful → True (As some beautiful are actresses, so, some actresses are beautiful is also true.)
III. Some actresses are rich → True (As all actresses are rich, so, some actresses are rich is also true.)
Hence, Only conclusions II and III follow.
