Answers & Solutions:
1) 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)
2) Answer (B)
The given statement clearly indicates that parents should be involved in school activities for the growth of their child, which is derived in the first conclusion but conclusion II states the opposite.
Thus, only conclusion I follows.
=> Ans – (B)
3) Answer (B)
The given statement indicates that intelligent people should be creative, which does not mean that creative people are intelligent (reverse of the given statement), but it shows the relation between intelligence and creativity.
Thus, only assumption I is valid.
=> Ans – (B)
4) Answer (A)
The statement indicates that if a friend is there for you, then he is a true friend, which neither means that all are friends in good times nor it means that people in bad times are not friends.
Thus, neither Conclusion I nor II follows.
=> Ans – (A)
5) Answer (D)
From the statements it is clear that knowledge is interdisciplinary. Mental activity is related to acquired knowledge.
Thus, both conclusions I and III follow.
=> Ans – (D)
6) Answer (B)
Clearly, some sensitives are definitely beautiful. Some honest may or may not be ladies. Similarly, some sensitive may or may not be ladies.
Thus, only Conclusion 1 follows.
=> Ans – (B)
7) Answer (C)
The venn diagram for above statements is :
Conclusion:
(I) Polynomials are quadratic = false
(II) Linear equations are quadratic = false
Thus, neither I nor II follows
=> Ans – (C)
8) Answer (D)
9) Answer (B)
Consider the following possibility as shown in the diagram:
Thus, II follows and I does not necessarily follow.
Hence, option B is the right answer.
10) Answer (D)
Consider following possibilities as shown in the diagram:
Thus, I and II both follow.
Hence, option D is the right answer.
11) Answer (D)
All sunflowers are roses. Some roses are lilies.
It can be represented by following Venn diagram
We cannot say that all sunflowers are lilies. Conclusion may or may not be true.
Similarly, we cannot say with conviction that some sunflowers are lilies. The conclusion may or may not be true.
Therefore, neither of the conclusions can be said to be definitely true. Hence. Option D is the right answer.
12) Answer (A)
No actor is a producer. Some directors are producers.
The following diagram represents a possibility.
Directors, who are producers, cannot be actors. Therefore, some directors are not actors. Hence, conclusion I is definitely true.
Directors, who are not producers, can be actors. Therefore, we cannot say conclusion II to be definitely true. Therefore, only conclusion I follows. Hence, option A is the right answer.
13) Answer (A)
Some fruits are apples. No peach is a fruit.
The following diagrams represent some possibilities.
Some apples, that are not fruits, can be peaches. Therefore, the conclusion ‘some peaches can be true’ is true since it talks only about the possibility.
Some apples are not fruits – We cannot say this conclusion to be definitely true. Apples can be a subset of fruits and in that case, conclusion II will be rendered false. Therefore, only conclusion I follows. Hence, option A is the right answer.
14) Answer (B)
We cannot say with conviction that some fruits are flowers. It may or may not be true. Therefore, conclusion I does not follow.
Conclusion II states that some fruits are not flowers. Roses, that are fruits, will not be flowers. Therefore, we can definitely say that some fruits are not flowers. Therefore, conclusion II follows.
Only conclusion II follows. Therefore, option B is the right answer.
15) Answer (D)
From the diagram,either conclusion I or conclusion II follow.
Hence, option D is the right answer.
16) Answer (C)
Some Roots are Plants , no Plant is Animal. From the statements of option C we can draw the basic diagram as shown.
Some Roots are not Animals, Some Plants are Roots. These two conclusions are always true.
Hence, option C is correct.
17) Answer (D)
All Hats are Hands, all Hands are Rats. From these Statements we can draw the diagram as shown below. We can see that some Hats are Hands and all Hats are Rats is true. Hence, option D is correct.
18) Answer (C)
We can see from the Venn diagram that neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
19) Answer (D)
From the Venn diagram, we can see that some leaves can be roses hence conclusion II follows. The conclusion (I) is clearly not possible. (Answer :D)
20) Answer (C)
We can see from the Venn diagram that neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
21) Answer (D)
From Venn diagram we can see that neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
22) Answer (C)
From the venn diagram we can see that both conclusions are possible.
23) Answer (C)
From the Venn diagram, we can see that only we can conclude statement (II) only. (Answer: C)
24) Answer (A)
From the venn diagram we can see that only conclusion I follows.
25) Answer (A)
From the venn diagram we can see that only conclusion I follows.
