    Question

    Two 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.  

    Statements:  

    Only a few Pins are Pans

    Some Pans are Bricks  

    Conclusions:  

    I. All Bricks can be Pans is a possibility

    Il. Some Pins are not Bricks

    A Only I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The possible Venn diagram is:   Conclusions: All Bricks can be Pans is a possibility → Follows → As some Pans are Bricks, so all bricks can be pans is a possibility is true. Some Pins are not Bricks → Does not follow → As only a few pins are bricks, so some pins are definitely bricks.   Thus, only conclusion I follows. Hence, the correct answer is (A).
