Question 40

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:
No forests are trees.
Some trees are short.
Conclusions:
I. Some forests are short.
II. No tree is a forest.

Solution

Conclusion: I. Some forests are short.

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

Conclusion: II. No tree is a forest.

The completely negative relation between 'tree' and 'forest' is available in the above given venn diagram. So the given conclusion follows.

Hence only conclusion II follows.
