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 books are copies.
Some books are texts.
Conclusions:
I. Some texts are copies.
II. No text is a copy.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Only conclusion I follow.
The least possible venn diagram is:
Conclusions:
I. Some texts are copies. → Follow (As all books are copies and some books are texts so, definitely some texts are copies.)
II. No text is a copy. → Does not follow (As all books are copies and some books are texts so, it is not possible that no text is a copy.)
