Question 50

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 peacocks are swans.
All parrots are swans.
Conclusion I : Some parrots are peacocks.
Conclusion II : Some swans are peacocks.
Conclusion III : Some swans are parrots.

Solution

Conclusion I : Some parrots are peacocks.

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

Conclusion II : Some swans are peacocks.

From the above-given Venn diagram, this conclusion follows. Because 'All peacocks are swans.' is given in the statement.

Conclusion III : Some swans are parrots.

From the above-given Venn diagram, this conclusion follows. Because 'All parrots are swans.' is given in the statement.

So only conclusions II and III follow.
