Question

In each of the questions below are given two/three statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Give answer
Statements: Some pencils are blankets.
All blankets are erasers.
Conclusions: I. No eraser is a pencil.
II. All blankets being pencils is a possibility.

• B. if only conclusion II follows.
• C. if either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
• D. if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
• E. if both conclusion I and conclusion II follow.

Answer 1

The correct option is B if only conclusion II follows.

Fig 1 is a basic Venn diagram of Statements.

Conclusion I: It can be clearly seen from both the figures that pencil and eraser can be connected to each other. It does not follow.

Conclusion II: From fig 2, it can be clearly seen that it is possible. It follows.

Answer : B
