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:
Some pinks are black.
Some blue are pink.
Conclusions:
I. All blue are black.
II. All pink are black.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. All blue are black → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
II. All pink are black → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
Hence, Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
