Question

Statements: No weak is strong.
Some strong are winners.
All winners are modest.
Conclusions: I. All weak being modest is a possibility.
II. No weak is a winner.

• 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.

For situation and conclusion questions, there are two following strategies to follow:

I. Possibility

$=$ There exists at least a Venn diagram to justify the conclusion without violating the situations.

II. Definite

$=$ There must not exist any Venn Diagram that is following the conclusion.( without violating the situations)

In the Venn diagrams, Weak; S$=$ Strong; W$=$ Winners; M$=$ Modest

All weak being modest is a possibility.

According to the strategy I, there is a Venn diagram(1,2) that results in conclusion without violating any of the situations.

So it follows.

No weak is a winner

According to strategy II, there must not exist any Venn diagram but there exists a Venn diagram(2) that is not following the conclusion.

So not follow.

Only conclusion I follows.

Option A
