Question

    Two Statements are given, followed by three conclusions

    numbered I, II and III. 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 statements. Statements: Some jugs are stands. Some stands are table Conclusions: I. No table is a jug. II. No stand is a jug. III. Some table s are jugs.
    A Either conclusion I or III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B All the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some jugs are stands (I) + Some stand s are table (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor II follows but it will make a complimentary pair. Hence either conclusion I or II follows. Some jugs are stands (I) → Conversion → Some stands are jugs (I). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
