Question
Statements: All towns are capitals. No
capital is a district. All districts are states. Conclusions: I. Some town are definitely not states. II. Some capitals can be states. In each of the questions below are given three statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.Solution
All towns are capitals(A) + No capital is a district(E) ⇒ No town is a district(E) + All districts are states(A) ⇒ Some states are not districts(O*). Hence, conclusion I does not follow. No capital is a district(E) + All districts are states(A) ⇒ Some states are not capitals(O*) ⇒ Probable conclusion ⇒ Some capitals can be states. Hence, conclusion II follows.
