  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    In the following question, some statements followed by some conclusions are given. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows the given statements.

    Statements:
    All hens are cocks.
    No cock is black.
    Conclusions:
    I. All cocks are hens
    II. No hen is black.

    Solutions
    The least possible Venn-diagram;


    Conclusions:
    I. All cocks are hens - It is not a definite case, hence false.
    II. No hen is black - It is a definite case, hence true.
    So, only conclusion II follows.

    Hence, option C is correct.
  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    Two statements are given followed by four conclusions I, II, III and IV. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You are to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow from the given statements. Indicate your answer.

    Statements :
    1. All Blue is Black and some Black is red.
    2. All red is Green but not Yellow. 
    Conclusions :
    I. Some Green is Black.
    II. No Black is Yellow.
    III. Some Black is not Yellow.
    IV. No Black is Green.

    Solutions


    Conclusions :
    I. Some Green is Black - True, it is a definite case.
    II. No Black is Yellow - False, it is not a definite case.
    III. Some Black is not Yellow - True, some black that are red is not yellow also because all red is not yellow.
    IV. No Black is Green - False, because some black is green is a definite case.
    So, only I and III follow.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0
    In the following question, some statements followed by some conclusions are given. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows the given statements.

    Statements: 
    Some Kites are sweets.
    Some sweets are soups.
    All the soups are pencil.
    Conclusions:
    I. Some pencils are sweets.
    II. Some soups are kites.
    III. Some sweets are kites.
    Solutions
    The least possible Venn diagram is:
     

    Conclusions:
    I. Some pencils are sweets -It can be said with certainty that some pencils are sweets, hence true.
    II. Some soups are kites -It cannot be said with certainty that some soups are kites, hence false.
    III. Some sweets are kites -It can be said with certainty that some sweets are kites, hence true.
    So, both conclusions I and III follow.

    Hence, option A is correct.
  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0
    In the following question, some statements followed by some conclusions are given. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows the given statements. 
    Statements
    I. Some cats are zebras.
    II. All the buffalos are zebras.
    III. All the parrots are cats.
    Conclusion
    I. Some cats are buffalos.
    II. No parrot is zebra.
    III. Some buffalos are cats.
    Solutions
    Here two possibilities emerge based on statement I, II and III.

    Conclusion I:- It cannot be said with certainty that some cats are buffalos.
    Conclusion II: - It cannot be said with certainty that no parrot is zebra.
    Conclusion III:- It cannot be said with certainty that some buffalos are cats.
    Hence, none of the conclusion follows.
  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0
    In the following question, some statements followed by some conclusions are given. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows the given statements.

    Conclusion:
    I. All dogs are pictures - True, it is a definite case.
    II. All books are dogs - False, it is not a definite case.
    III. All pictures are dogs - False, it is not a definite case.
    IV. Some pictures are books - True, it is a definite case.
    So, I and IV follow.

    Hence, option (A) is correct.
  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0

    Direction: Two statements are given fol­lowed by four conclusions I, II, III and IV. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You are to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow from the given statements. Indicate your answer.

    Statements:
    1. Some stones are gold.
    2. Some gold are banks.

    Conclusions:
    I. Some banks are stones.
    II. Some gold are stones.
    III. No stone is gold.
    IV. Some banks are gold.

    Solutions



    (i) Some banks are stones does not follow.
    (ii) Some gold are stones follows.
    (iii) No stone is gold does not follow.
    (iv) Some banks are gold follows.

    Thus only Conclusion II and IV follows from the above Venn diagram.

    Hence, option B is correct.

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0
    In the question three statements are given, followed by four conclusions. You have to consider the statements to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follows from the given statements. 

    Statements
    I. Some elephants are goats.
    II. Some goats are sharks.
