Question 31

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

Statements:
All cricketers are sportspersons.
Some players are sportspersons.

Conclusions:
I. No cricketer is a player.
II. Some cricketers are players.

Solution

Conclusion: I. No cricketer is a player.

The negative relation between 'cricketer' and 'player' is not given in the above venn diagram. So the given conclusion does not follow.

Conclusion: II. Some cricketers are players.

There is not any direct relation between 'cricketer' and 'player'. So the given conclusion does not follow.

So individually none of the conclusions follow. But because of a common subject & predicate and one conclusion is negative and another one is positive. These are making either or case.

Hence either conclusion I or II follows.
