Question

# In each question below are given 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.

A
if only conclusion I follows.
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.

Solution

## The correct option is E if both conclusion I and conclusion II follow.Statements:  $$Stars\subset Moons\subset Planets\subset Round$$$$Conclusion-I$$ :Let $$x\in Stars\Rightarrow x\in Planets$$  $$(\because Stars\subset Planets)$$$$\Rightarrow x$$ is a planet and $$x$$ is a star.$$\Rightarrow$$  Atleast some planets are stars.$$\Rightarrow Conclusion-I$$  follows.$$Conclusion-II$$ :Given that 'All stars are moons' and 'All moons are planets'.$$\Rightarrow$$  All stars are planets.$$\Rightarrow Conclusion-II$$  follows.$$\therefore$$  Both conclusion-I and conclusion-II follows.  $$[E]$$Logical Reasoning
