Question

Statements: No bucket is a boat.
Some buckets are black.
Some blue are boats.
Conclusions: I. All blue being buckets is a possibility.
II. All boats being black is a possibility.

• A. if only conclusion I follows.
• B. if only conclusion II follows.
• C. if either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
• D. if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
• E. if both conclusion I and conclusion II follow.

Answer 1

The correct option is B if only conclusion II follows.

There are two cases possible.

All blue can not be buckets

This is not possible.

All boats can be black.

This is possible in second cases.

Thus only conclusion II is correct.

Hence, Option B is correct.
