Question 43

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 plate is a spoon.
Some plates are forks.
All forks are knives.

Conclusions:
I. Some plates are knives is a possibility.
II. No spoon is a fork.

Solution

Conclusion: I. Some plates are knives is a possibility.

As per the above given venn diagram, 'Some plates are knives.' is definitely true. So the possibility of the occurrence of this thing will not be true. Hence the given conclusion does not follow.

Conclusion: II. No spoon is a fork.

The given conclusion does not follow. Because a completely negative relation between 'spoon' and 'fork' will not be given in the above venn diagram.

Hence neither conclusion I nor II follows.
