In the question below, three statements are given followed by the conclusions. 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 the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Some Paper are Pencils. All Board are Pencils. Only a few Pencils are Markers. Conclusions:
I. All Pencils being Markers is a possibility.
II. Some Board are Paper.
Solution
Only a few Pencils are Markers → Some Pencils are Markers (I) and Some Pencils are not Markers (O). Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Paper are Pencils (I) + [All Board are Pencils (A)] → Some Pencils are Board (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow.
