Question

Statements: Some clothes are marbles. Some marbles are bags.
Conclusions:
I. No cloth is a bag.
II. All marbles are bags.
III. Some bags are clothes.
IV. No marble is a cloth.

• A. Only either I or IV follows
• B. Only either I or II follows
• C. None follows
• D. Only either I or III follows

Answer 1

The correct option is D Only either I or III follows

Since both the premises are particular, no definite conclusion follows. However, I and III involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or III follows.
