Question

Statements: Some states are villages.
No village is a forest.
All forests are towns.
Conclusions: I. Some villages are definitely not towns.
II. Some forests are not states.

• 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 D if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

There are three cases possible.

Some or all village can be town.

This is a possibility but not always true.

Some forest can be state.

This is a possibility but not always true.

Thus both conclusion I and II are incorrect.

Hence, Option D is correct.
