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:
1) Some snacks are meals.
2) All juices are snacks.
Conclusions:
I. All juices can never be meals.
II. All meals are snacks.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Neither Conclusion I nor II follows.
The possible Venn diagram is as follows:
Conclusions:
I. All juices can never be meals → Does not follow → As, some snacks are meals and all juices are snacks. So all juices can never be meals is not definitely followed.
II. All meals are snacks → Does not follow → As, some snacks are meals and all juices are snacks. So, all meals are snacks is possible but not definitely followed.
Hence, the correct answer is "Neither Conclusion I nor II follows".
