be baskets. Some sticks may not be marbles. In the given question, a set of conclusions is given. There are five options comprising of three or more statements. You need to choose the option that contains the set of statements from which the given conclusions logically follow.Solution
Some sticks are baskets (I) + No basket is a flower (E) ⇒Some sticks are not flower (E) ⇒ [Probable conclusion] ⇒ Some flowers may not be sticks Some marbles are sticks (I) + All sticks are baskets (A) ⇒ Some marbles are baskets (I) ⇒ All marbles may be baskets (A). Some marbles are sticks (I) ⇒ Conversion ⇒ Some sticks are marbles (I) ⇒ [Probable conclusion] ⇒ Some sticks may not be marbles Hence, option 1 is correct. By elimination method - By 2, All + No = no possibility case can be drawn between marble and basket. Hence it is eliminated. By 3, some + no = All marble can’t be basket. Hence it is eliminated. By 4, No marble is stick. So possibility case can’t be drawn between them. Hence it is eliminated. Hence answer is option 1.
