Question

    In each of the questions below are given three statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and  II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

    . Statements: 

    No ring is a diamond 

    All diamonds are pearl 

    Some bangle are pearl 

    Conclusions: 

    I. Some Bangle are Ring 

    II. Some Ring are not Bangle

    A If only conclusion I follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only conclusion II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If either conclusion I or II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If neither conclusion I nor II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No ring is a diamond (E) + All diamonds are pearl (A) ⇒ Some pearl are not ring (O) + Some bangle are pearl (I) ⇒ No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor II follows but it will make a complementary pair. Hence either conclusion I or II follows.
