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 atom is a molecule.
No molecule is an element.
Conclusions:
I. It is possible for some atoms to be elements.
II. Some elements are molecules.
Conclusion:Â I. It is possible for some atoms to be elements.
There is not any direct relationship between 'atoms' and 'elements'. So the possibility given between these entities will be true.
Conclusion: II. Some elements are molecules.
As per the above-given Venn diagram, there is a completely negative relationship between 'elements' and 'molecules'. So the relation of 'some' cannot be true. The given conclusion does not follow.
Hence only conclusion I follows.
