      Question

      Two 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:   Only a few Pins are Pans Some Pans are Bricks   Conclusions:   I. All Bricks can be Pans is a possibility Il. Some Pins are not Bricks
      A Only I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Both I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Neither I nor II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The possible Venn diagram is:   Conclusions: All Bricks can be Pans is a possibility → Follows → As some Pans are Bricks, so all bricks can be pans is a possibility is true. Some Pins are not Bricks → Does not follow → As only a few pins are bricks, so some pins are definitely bricks.   Thus, only conclusion I follows. Hence, the correct answer is (A).
