In each question below, there are three statements followed by four conclusions numbered I, II, III and IV. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follow (s) from the given statement.
Statements : Some charts are darts.
All darts are carts.
Some carts are smarts.
Conclusions : I. Some charts are carts.
II. Some carts are darts -
III. Some darts are smarts.
IV. Some smarts are charts.
Solution
We shall test each of the conclusions:
1. Since all darts are carts and some darts are charts, it is definitely true that the charts that are darts shall be carts as well.
2. Since all darts are carts, this statement is true.
3. It is possible that the carts which are smart might not be darts at all.
4. Same logic as 3.
