Question

In each question below are two/three statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the two/three given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements: All squares are triangles.
No triangle is circle.
All circles are rectangles.
Conclusions: I. No rectangle is square.
II. All rectangles being square 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

The correct option is D if neither conclusion I nor II follows.

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

From second figure we can see that, some rectangles could be square. Thus conclusion I is wrong.

From both the figures we can see that, all rectangles can not be squares. Thus conclusion II is wrong.
