Question

Read the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:

Some bells are temples.

Some temples are marbles.

Conclusions:

I. Some bells are marbles

II. No marble is a temple.

A If only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B If only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C If either conclusion I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D If neither conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E If both conclusion I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Some bells are temples (I) + Some temples are marbles (I) = no conclusion. Hence, conclusion I will not follow. Both the statements are positive statements and conclusion II is negative and we know that negative definite conclusions cannot be drawn from the positive statements. Hence, conclusion II will not follow.
