Question

    Read the given statement(s) and conclusions carefully.

    Assuming that the information given in the statement(s) is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statement(s).   Statements:   1. Some cats are lions.   2. All lions are kings.   Conclusions:   (i) Some cats are kings.   (ii) All kings are lions.  
    A Only conclusion (i) follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Neither conclusion (i) nor (ii) follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both conclusions (i) and (ii) follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion (ii) follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    - Venn Diagram Logic:     - All lions are kings → Lions are a subset of kings.     - Some cats are lions → These cats must also be kings.     - Conclusion (ii) is invalid because "all kings" may include non-lions.
