Question

Statements: No bangle is an earring.
Some earrings are rings.
Conclusions: I. No ring is a bangle.
II. Some rings are definitely not earrings.

• 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.

Fig 1 is a basic Venn diagram of Statements.

Conclusion I: It is not necessarily true. From the figure 2, this can be clearly understood that it doesn't follow.

Conclusion II: This is not necessarily true which can be clearly understood from fig 1 that rings can be in earrings also. That is all rings can be earrings also. So, it doesn't follow.

Answer : D
