Question

In each question below are given two or 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 and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Give answer
Statements: Some flowers are red.
Some roses are flowers.
Conclusions: I. All those flowers which are roses are red.
II. No rose is red.

• 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 D if neither conclusion I nor II follows.

The above figure shows different possibilities of representation of given statements.

From 1st figure we can see that, not all those flowers which are roses are also red. Thus conclusion I is wrong.

From 2nd and 3rd figures we can see that, roses could be red. Thus conclusion II is wrong.
