Question 48

Two statements are given, followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statement:
I. All tables are books.
II. All pens are books.
Conclusions:
I. Some tables are pens.
II. Some books are pens.

Solution

Conclusions: I. Some tables are pens.

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

Conclusions: II. Some books are pens.

As per the above-given Venn diagram, the given conclusion follows. Because some part of books is pen.

Hence only conclusion II follows.
