Question

    Two statements are given followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

    Statements

    All clouds are kites.

    Some clouds are rainbows.

    Conclusions:

    I. Some kites are rainbows.

    II. No rainbow is a kite.

    III. Some kites are clouds.

    A Only conclusion I and III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II and III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All conclusion I, II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some clouds are rainbows (I)→ Conversion → Some rainbows are clouds (I) + All clouds are kites (A) → Some rainbows are kites (I) )→ Conversion → Some kites are rainbows (I). Hence conclusion I follows but conclusion II does not follow. All clouds are kites (A)→ Conversion → Some kites are clouds (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
