Question

In each question below are given three statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Give answer
Statements: Some balls are tables.
Some tables are ipods.
All ipods are chairs.
Conclusions: I. Some chairs are balls.
II. Some balls are not chairs.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C if either conclusion I or II follows.

$Statements:$ Balls $\supset$ Tables $\supset$ ipods $\subseteq$ Chairs

$Conclusion1:$ Yes it is clearly shown above that Chairs $\subset$ Balls.Conclusion 1 is true

$Conclusion2:$ Since Chairs $\subset$ Balls it is obvious that Some balls are not chairs.Hence Conclusion 2 is also true
