      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: Some ants are bees Some bees are fishes   Conclusions:   I. Some ants are fishes Il. Some fishes are bees
      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 follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The least possible Venn diagram is given below based on the given statements. Conclusion: Some ants are fishes → Does not follow → (There is no definite relation between ants and fishes so it might be possible but not definitely true) Some fishes are bees → Follows → (Because some bees are fishes, so some fishes are bees is definitely true)   So, only conclusion II follows. Hence, the correct answer is (B).
