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 from the statements.
Statements:
All tables are beds.
No, bed is a chair.
Conclusions:
I. Some beds are tables.
II. Some chairs are tables.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e., Only conclusion I follows.
Conclusions:
I. Some beds are tables → Follows (Since all tables are beds, it naturally follows that some beds (at least those that are tables) exist.)
II. Some chairs are tables → Does not follow (All tables are beds. No, bed is a chair. So, no table can be a chair.)
