Question 48

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. No R is S.
II. All X are R.

Conclusions:
I. Some R are X.
II. Some S are X.
III. All X are S.

Solution

Conclusion: I. Some R are X.

The given conclusion follows. Because the relation of 'some' between 'R' and 'X' is available in the above Venn diagram.

Conclusion: II. Some S are X.

As per the above given Venn diagram, there is a completely negative relation between 'S' and 'X'. So the given conclusion does not follow.

Conclusion: III. All X are S.

As per the above given Venn diagram, there is a completely negative relation between 'X' and 'S'. So the given conclusion does not follow.

Hence only the conclusion I follow.
