Question

Statements: All bags are purses.
No purse is black.
All blacks are beautiful.
Conclusions: I. All purses being beautiful is a possibility.
II. Some bags are not black.

• 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.

Fig 1 is a basic Venn diagram of statements.

Conclusion 1: From fig 2, it can be clearly concluded that it follows. This is not violating any of the statements above.

Conclusion II: From any of the fig we can see that purses and black are not connected to each other. So, bags and black cannot be connected to each other. Here, All bags are not black. It does not follow.

Answer : A
