All handles are sticks
Conclusion:
I: Some sticks are bins.
II: Some handles are flowers.
III: Some sticks are flowers.

Video Solution

Solution

The syllogism can be better explained with the help of a Venn diagram.

Some sticks are bins. This conclusion is true
Some handles are flowers. This conclusion, apparent from Venn diagram, does not follow.
Some sticks are flowers. The sets of sticks and flowers are disjoint as apparent from Venn diagram. Hence, this conclusion does not follow.

Question 212

Statements:
Some towers are windows.
All windows are houses.
Some houses are temples.
Conclusions:
I: Some towers are temples.
II: some houses are towers.
III: Some temples are windows.

Video Solution

Solution

The syllogism can be explained with following Venn Diagram.

Some towers are temples. This conclusion cannot be made.
Some houses are towers. This conclusion is true.
Some temples are windows. This conclusion again cannot be made with surety.

Only II follows.

Question 213

Statements:
Some walls are doors.
Some doors are cots.

Conclusion:
I: Some fences are gardens.
II: All gardens are fences.
III: Some stones are trees.

Video Solution

Solution

The given information can be intrepreted in Venn diagram form as:

Here, if we assume - trees, gardens, stones and fences as sets then
Tree is subset of gardens. Gardens is subset of stones. Stones is subset of fences.
Therefore, all the conclusions are true.
Option D is correct answer.

Question 215

Statements:
All books are leaves.
Some leaves are jungles
No jungles is box
Conclusions:
I: Some jungles are books.
II: No book is box.

Video Solution

Solution

The syllogism can be intrepreted in Venn Diagram form as:

Some jungles are books. This can't be said with surety.
No book is box. This also cannot be concluded with any assurance.
Some leaves are boxes. The defibnite position of box set with respect to other sets is not known.
Hence, none of the conclusion follow.
