Direction: In each of the questions below are given four statements followed by four conclusions numbered I, II, III & IV. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements:
All cups are bottles.
Some bottles are jugs.
No jug is plate.
Some plates are tables.
Conclusions:
I. Some tables are bottles.
II. Some plates are cups.
III. No table is bottle.
IV. Some jugs are cups.
The conclusions talk about a relation between tables and bottles. Let's bring a relation between these two using the given statements.
Some bottles are jugs and no jug is a plate => some bottles can be plates or no bottle is a plate
Some plates are tables => some bottles can be plates or no bottle is a plate. -- (1)
All cups are bottles and some bottles are jugs => Nothing about cups and jugs can be derived from this.
Since we cannot derive a conclusion between cups and jugs, it is not possible to derive a conclusion between cups and plates as well.
Hence option E, which says that some bottles can be plates or no bottle is a plate is the answer.
