Instructions

In each of the questions below are given three statements followed by four conclusions numbered I, II, III and IV. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be variance from commonly known facts. Read the conclusion and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Question 43

Statements: All bricks are flowers.
Some houses are flowers
All pens are houses
Conclusions:
I. Some house are bricks
II. Some pens are flowers
III. Some flowers are bricks
IV. No pen is flowers

Solution

We can draw many scenarios that satisfy the statements using Venn diagrams and check for the validity of the conclusions. Conclusion III holds in every case. So, it is implied.
Irrespective of the diagram, conclusions II and IV are universally complimentary ie. one of the two always has to be implied but both can't be true at the same time. Hence we use "either" and "or".
