In each of the question below are given three statements followed by three conclusions numbered I, II III You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from three given statements disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements:Some dogs are cats
Some cats are horses
All horses are tigers
Conclusions:I.Some tigers are cats
II.Some horses are dogs
III.Some tigers are dogs
The Venn Diagram for the syllogism is as shown below:
Based on the figure we can observe that atleast some tigers are cats. Hence conclusion 1 is implied. However, none of the horses are dogs and none of the tigers are dogs. If they are not valid in one case, we can't claim that they are valid in "every" case. Hence, the correct answer is (b).
