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

Some roses are flowers.
Conclusions: I. All roses being red is a possibility.
II. Some flowers can never be roses.

• 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 A if only conclusion I follows.

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

From second figure we can see that, all roses can be red. Thus conclusion I is correct.

From third figures we can see that, all flowers can be roses. Thus conclusion II is wrong.
