    Question

    Three statements are given followed by two conclusions

    numbered I & II. 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. ┬а Statements: ┬а All mugs are purses. Some purses are pens. Some pens are rulers. Conclusions: I. Some rulers are mugs. II. Some mugs are pens.
    A Only conclusion I follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The least possible Venn diagram is given below based on the given statements. Conclusions: Some rulers are mugs ├а False (Because, there is no definite relation given between rulers and mugs, so it can only be a possibility). So, neither conclusion I nor Il follows. Hence, the correct answer is (D). ┬а Some mugs are pens ├а False (Because, there is no definite relation given between mugs and pens, so it can only be a possibility).
