Question

In each question below are given two statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the two given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Give Answer:

Statements: No bold is a smart.

Some smarts are cowards.

Conclusions: I. Some bolds are not cowards.

II. Some smarts are not bolds.

Q: Statements: No bold is a smart. Some smarts are cowards. Conclusions: I. Some bolds are not cowards

No bold is a smart (E) + Some smarts are cowards (I) = Some cowards are not bolds (O*). But (O) cannot be reversed. Hence, conclusion I will not follow. No bold is a smart (E) ⇒ Conversion ⇒ No smart is a bold(E). ⇒ I.I. ⇒ Some smarts are not bolds (O). Hence, conclusion II will follow.
