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 pens are cars.
Some cars are bulbs.
Conclusions:
I. Some cars are not bulbs.
II. Some pens being bulbs is a possibility.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Only conclusion II follows.
The least possible diagram is shown below:
Conclusions:
I. Some cars are not bulbs → Does not follow (This conclusion does not follow as some cars are bulbs so it is not definitely possible that some cars are not bulbs.)
II. Some pens being bulbs is a possibility → Follow (This conclusion follow as all pens are cars and some cars are bulbs, so it is possible that some pens are bulbs.)
Hence, Only conclusion II followsis the correct answer.
