Question

Q. Statement: A Garden has as many Rose trees as it has Jasmin plants. Three-fourth of the plants are old ones and half of the plants are at the flowering stage.

• A. All Jasmin plants are at the flowering stage.
• B. All Rose plants are at the flowering stage.
• C. At least one-half of the Jasmin plants are old.
• D. One-half of the Rose plants are at the flowering stage.
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is E None of these

Conclusions A, B, C do not hold because of the presence of definitive words ‘all’ and ‘at least’ when the statements do not provide such definite information. D does not follow because nothing has been said about the fraction of Rose plants in flowering stage.
