Question

Statements: All apartments are huts.
No hut is a building.
All buildings are cottages.
Conclusions: I. No apartment is a cottage.
II. Some buildings being apartments 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.

Fig 1 is a basic Venn diagram of Statements.

Conclusion I: From fig2, it can be clearly concluded that it is not necessarily true. It doesn't follow.

Conclusion II: It is not possible as huts and building are not connected, so apartments and building cannot be connected to each other. It doesn't follow.

Answer : D
