Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (A)
The venn diagram for above statements is :
Conclusion:
(I) Some fools are machines = true
(II) Some crops are fools = false
Thus, only conclusion I follows
=> Ans – (A)
2) Answer (D)
The venn diagram for above statements is :
Conclusions:
Some windows are walls = true
No wall is shelter = may be true
No door is shelter = may be true
Thus, only I follows.
=> Ans – (D)
3) Answer (C)
following 2 venn can be drawn from the above given statements
from the above two venn we can say that either of the two conclusion can be true
4) Answer (A)
The venn diagram for above statements is :
Conclusions :
I. Some cages are doors = true
II. Some buildings are windows = may or may not be true
Thus, only Conclusion I follows.
=> Ans – (A)

6) Answer (C)
from the above statements following venn can be drawn
we can see from the above venn that no conclusion is true
7) Answer (B)
following venn diagram can be drawn from the given data
and hence we can say that only conclusion 1 is true.
8) Answer (C)
As some hits are strikes and no strike is a raid, some hits are definitely not raids. Hence, conclusion I follows.
As the extent of overlap between hits and strikes is not known, conclusion II follows. Hence, both conclusions follow.
9) Answer (D)
The statement indicates that aggressive animals can be trained to behave but it does not conclude that all animals are in their aggressive mindset before training, or trained dogs may or may not be aggressive.
Thus, neither conclusion follows.
=> Ans – (D)
10) Answer (C)
The Venn Diagram for the given syllogism is as shown below:
Based on the diagram, atleast some cars are trucks and atleast some trucks are beads. Hence conclusions II and III follow. However, from the diagram, we can clearly see that none of the cars are chairs. So, conclusion I is not implied in every case.
