Directions

In the question below are given statement 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 all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Statement:

All Book are Pages

Some Pages are Pen

No Pen is Pencil

Conclusion:

I. Some Book are Pen

II. No Book is Pen

AOption (a)
Only conclusion I follows.
BOption (b)
Only conclusion II follows.
COption (c)
Either conclusion I or II follows.
DOption (d)
Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
EOption (e)
Both conclusions I and II follow

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

C.

Either conclusion I or II follows.

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram according to the above statement is:

Conclusion:

I. Some Book are Pen - False( This can be the possible conclusion not definite hence conclusion doesnot logically follows)

II. No Book is Pen - False( This can be the possible conclusion not definite hence conclusion doesnot logically follows)

Conclusion of I and II forms complementary pair.

Some + No, When both the conclusion are false is considered as either or pair.

Hence, the correct answer is either conclusion I or II follows.

As per the given information,

Point N is 8m to the west of Point O.
Point P is 4m to the south of Point O.
Point Q is 4m to the east of Point P

The best possible diagram is,

Point R is 6 m to the north of Point Q.
Point S is 8 m to the west of Point R.
Point T is 2 m to the south of Point S.

Therefore, the final arrangement is.

On applying the Pythagoras theorem, we get the shortest distance between S and Q.

(SQ)² = (8²) + 6²

= 64 + 36

= 100

SQ = 10 m

Hence, the shortest distance between point S and point Q is 10m.
