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 figures are numbers.
Some numbers are digits.
Conclusions:
I. No figure is a digit.
II. All digits are figures.
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 is shown below:
Conclusions:
I. No figure is a digit: Doesn't follow (It is possible but not definite)
II. All digits are figures: Doesn't follow (It is possible but not definite)
