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:
I. Some M are P.
II. All X are M.
Conclusions:
I. Some P are X.
II. Some P are M.
III. No P is X.

Solution

Conclusion: I. Some P are X.

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

Conclusion: II. Some P are M.

The given conclusion follows. Because the relation of some is available between 'P' and 'M'. 

Conclusion: III. No P is X.

There is not any direct relationship between 'P' and 'X'. So the given conclusion does not follow. Because the relation between 'P' and 'X' is unknown.

Hence only conclusion II follows.
