Question 33

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:
I. No X is C.II. Some A are C.

Conclusions:
I. Some C are not X.
II. Some A are X is a possibility.
III. All C are A.

Solution

Conclusion: I. Some C are not X.

'No X is not C' is given in the statement. So the given conclusion also follows. Because when there is a complete negative relation between the two entities, then partial negative relation will also be true.

Conclusion: II. Some A are X is a possibility.

We can definitely conclude that 'Some parts of C which are A are not X. But for the remaining part, we cannot say. So the given possibility will be true.

Conclusion: III. All C are A.

There is only the relation of 'some' is given between C and A. So the relation of 'all' will not be true. So the given conclusion does not follow.

So only conclusions I and II follow.
