Question 39

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. All W are B.
II. No X is W.

Conclusions:
I. Some B are W.
II. Some W are X.
III. All X are B.

Solution

Conclusion: I. Some B are W.

The given conclusion follows as per the above given venn diagram. Because we can conclude the relation of some between 'B' and 'W'.

Conclusion: II. Some W are X.

Here between 'W' and 'X', a completely negative relation is available. So the relation of some will not be possible. The given conclusion does not follow.

Conclusion: III. All X are B.

The given conclusion does not follow. Because there is not any direct relationship between 'X' and 'B'.

Hence only conclusion I follow.
