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 apartments are huts.
All apartments are buildings.
All buildings are cottages.
Conclusions: I. Some apartments are not cottages.
II. All buildings being huts is a possibility.

• 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

Answer: (D)

if neither conclusion I nor II follows.

From the statements given, this is a possible Venn diagram among many possibilities.In the picture, it can be clearly shown that all apartments are buildings and all buildings are cottages.So, all apartments have to be cottages.Conclusion 1 is false.All buildings cannot be huts, in the figure it is showing that Huts are the subcategory of Apartments. which is a subcategory of buildings.So, all buildings cant be huts.Some might be apartments and others are all huts.So conclusion 2 is also wrong.

$\therefore$ Both 1 and 2 don't follow the statements.
