Question 32

The statements below are followed by two conclusions labelled I and II. Assuming that the information in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with generally established facts, decide which conclusion(s) logically and definitely follow(s) from the information given in the statements.
Statements:
I. All dens are hens.
II. All pens are hens.
III. All yens are hens.
Conclusions:
I. Some pens are dens.
II. Some yens are dens.

Solution

Conclusion: I. Some pens are dens.

There is not any direct relationship between 'pens' and 'dens'. So the given conclusion does not follow.

Conclusions: II. Some yens are dens.

There is not any direct relationship between 'yens' and 'dens'. So the given conclusion does not follow.

Hence neither Conclusion I nor II follows.
