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 tapes are glue.
Some glue are paints.
All paints are computers.
Conclusions:
I. Some tapes are paints.
II. All glue are paints.
III. Some glue are computers.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Only conclusion III follows.
The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. Some tapes are paints → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
II. All glue are paints → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
III. Some glue are computers → True (As some glues are paints, and all paints are computers, so, some glue are computers is also true.)
