    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 both the conclusions and then decide which of given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts. Give answer

    Statements: Some dogs are cats. No camel is a

    rat. All cats are camels. Conclusions: I. All dogs may be camels. II. Some dogs may not be camels.
    A if both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B if neither conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C if either conclusion I or II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D if only conclusion II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E if only conclusion I follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    For conclusion I, second statement is not required, because we find a common term ‘cat’ in the first and the third statement. Some dogs are cats (I) + All cats are camels (A) = Some dogs are camels (I) ⇒ Probable conclusions ⇒ All dogs may be camels (A) and Some dogs may not be camels(O). Hence, both conclusion I and II will follow.
