Question 49

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:
All basketball players are tall people.
Suman is tall.

Conclusions:
I. Suman is a basketball player.
II. Some tall people are basketball players.

Solution

Conclusion:Ā I. Suman is a basketball player.

In the statement, it is given thatĀ 'All basketball players are tall.'. But it is not necessary that 'All tall people areĀ basketball players.'. So as per the statement, 'Suman is tall.'. But it cannot be said that she is aĀ basketball player. So this conclusion does not follow.

Conclusion:II. Some tall people are basketball players.

The given conclusion follows as per the first statement. Because we know that when the relation of 'all' is given then 'some' will definitely be true.

HenceĀ only conclusion II follows.
