Question 156
Read the given statements and conclusions carefully, and decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
Some artists are actors.
All actors are dancers.
Conclusions:
A. Some artists are dancers.
B. No actor is an artist.
Solution
We shall go on testing each of the options:
1. Some artists are dancers: Since some artists are actors and all actors are dancers, we know that the artists who are actors (who in turn are dancers) shall be dancers. Hence, the conclusion is valid.
2. No actor is an artist: This contradicts the first statement in the question. Hence, an invalid conclusion.
