Question 73

Statements:Some boxes are walls.
No wall is road.
All roads are rivers.
Conclusions:I.Some rivers are walls.
II.Some roads are boxes.
III.No wall is river.

Solution


We use elimination to find an exception to the generality of the conclusions. Thus we prove they are not implied. The diagram above satisfies all the statements but contradicts the conclusion II. Since we found an exception, the conclusion is not not true in "every" case. Thus it is not implied.

Irrespective of the diagram, conclusions I and III are universally complimentary ie. one of the two always has to be implied but both can't be true at the same time. Hence we use "either" and "or".
