Two statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. 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 plate is a bowl.
All plates are tumblers.
Conclusions:
I. No tumbler is a plate.
II. Some tumblers are bowls.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
The least possible Venn diagram is as follows:
Conclusions:
I. No tumbler is a plate. - Does not follow (Because All plates are tumblers so some tumblers can be place only)
II. Some tumblers are bowls. - Does not follow (Because there is no direct relation given between tumblers and bowls so it can be possible only)
