Question
Statement : Some sugar are wheat. All wheat are
pulses. No pulses is a rice. Some rice are tea. Conclusion : I. Some sugars are not rice. II. Some pulses are not teas. III. No rice is a wheat. IV. Some pulses are teas. In each of the questions below are given four statements followed by four conclusions numbered I, II and III and IV. 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.Solution
Some sugars are wheat (I) + All wheat are pulses (A) ⇒ Some sugars are pulses (I) + No pulses is a rice (E) ⇒ Some sugars are not rice (O) ⇒ Hence, only I will follow. No pulses is a rice (E) + Some rice are teas (I) ⇒ Some teas are not pulses (O). Hence, conclusion II and IV do not follow but it will make a complementary pair. All wheat are pulses (A) + No pulses is a rice (E) ⇒ No wheat is a rice (E). Hence, conclusion III follow. ALTERNATE SOLUTION: Relevant Minimal Possibility:
