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:
All bags are black.
Some bags are white.
Conclusions:
I. Some black are white.
II. All black are bags.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Only conclusion I follows.
The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. Some black are white → True (As all bags are white and some bags are white so some black are white is also true.)
II. All black are bags → False (It is possible but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
Hence, Only conclusion I follows.
