Given below are three statements. Assume these statements are true irrespective of whether they are true in real life. Each question has two conclusions.
Statements:
No snake is a bird.
Some birds are animals.
All animals need food.
Conclusions:
I. Some snakes need food.
II. No bird is a snake.
From the given statements:
βNo snake is a birdβ means there is no overlap between snakes and birds.
βSome birds are animalsβ means part of the bird set overlaps with the animal set.
βAll animals need foodβ means everything in the animal set (and its overlaps) belongs to the larger βneed foodβ set.
Now, looking at the conclusions:
Conclusion I: βSome snakes need food.β β This does not follow, because thereβs no information connecting snakes with animals or food. Whether snakes are animals or not can't be concluded from the given statements, and hence, we canβt conclude that they need food.
Conclusion II: βNo bird is a snake.β β This is true, as it directly restates the first statement (βNo snake is a birdβ).
Hence, only II follows.Β
