Instructions

In each question below are given some 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 at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.

Question 13

Statements: No candle is bell
Some shoes are bells
All tables are shoes
Conclusions: I. Some tables are bells
II. No table is bell
III. Some shoes are candles
IV.No shoes are candles

Solution

Conclusions I and II are universally complimentary. ie one of the two has to be always true and both can't be true at the same time. Same is the case for III and IV. So, the correct answer is either conclusion I or conclusion II is implied and either conclusion III or conclusion IV is implied. Since it is not shown in any of the options, we choose (e) None of these as the answer.
