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. Read the following statements and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Give answer

• 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 both the figures we can see that, some ice could be yummy. Thus conclusion I is wrong.

From first figure we can see that, some ice could be tasty. Thus conclusion II is wrong.
