Two 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 statements are answers.
Some statements are questions.
Conclusions:
I. No question is a statement.
II. Some answers are statements.
III. Some questions are statements.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Only conclusions II and III follow.
The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. No question is a statement → False (As some statements are questions so, it is not possible that no question is a statement.)
II. Some answers are statements → True (As all statements are questions so, some answers are statements.)
III. Some questions are statements→ True (As some statements are questions, so, some questions can be statements.)
Hence, Only conclusions II and III follow.
