      Question

      Three statements are given followed by two conclusions

      numbered I & II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.   Statements:   All mugs are purses. Some purses are pens. Some pens are rulers. Conclusions: I. Some rulers are mugs. II. Some mugs are pens.
      A Only conclusion I follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only conclusion II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Neither conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The least possible Venn diagram is given below based on the given statements. Conclusions: Some rulers are mugs à False (Because, there is no definite relation given between rulers and mugs, so it can only be a possibility). So, neither conclusion I nor Il follows. Hence, the correct answer is (D).   Some mugs are pens à False (Because, there is no definite relation given between mugs and pens, so it can only be a possibility).
