View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow. 

Why this answer is correct

Given

Statements:

All meters are compasses.

All compasses are scales.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some scales are compasses.

  • Since "All compasses are scales" (Statement 2), it means the entire group of Compasses is part of the Scales group. Therefore, it is definitively true that at least "Some scales are compasses."

Conclusion (I) logically follows.

II. All meters are scales.

  • Since "All meters are compasses" (Statement 1) and "All compasses are scales" (Statement 2), by the transitive property of inclusion, all meters must necessarily be scales.

Conclusion (II) logically follows.

So, Both Conclusion (I) and Conclusion (II) logically follow from the given statements.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.

(

Note:

Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g., 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

  4. DOption (d)

    (66, 52, 41)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

(92, 79, 66) 

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The sets follow an arithmetic progression where each number decreases by 13 from the preceding number.

(75, 62, 49)

⇒ Difference 1: 75 - 62 = 13

⇒ Difference 2: 62 - 49 = 13 

(61, 48, 35)

⇒ Difference 1: 61 - 48 = 13

​⇒ Difference 2: 48 - 35 = 13

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) (73, 60, 53) 

⇒ Difference 1: 73 - 60 = 13

⇒ Difference 1: 60 - 53 =  7

Option 2) (48, 24, 12)

⇒ Difference 1: 48 - 24 = 24

⇒ Difference 1: 24 - 12 = 12

Option 3) (92, 79, 66) 

⇒ Difference 1: 92 - 79= 13

⇒ Difference 1: 79 - 66 = 13

Option 4) (66, 52, 41)

⇒ Difference 1: 66 - 52 = 14

⇒ Difference 1: 52 - 41 = 11

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3"

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Only conclusion (II) follows.

Why this answer is correct

Given

Statements:

Some kites are hats.

No hat is a bat. 

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some kites are bats.

From the statements, we know that the Hats group and the Bats group are separate.

The Kites that are not Hats could potentially be Bats, or they could not be. Since it is not necessarily true, this conclusion does not logically follow.

II. Some hats are kites.

The nature of "Some" (I-type proposition) is that it is reversible.

Therefore, if Some Kites are Hats, then Some Hats are Kites must be true.

Conclusion (II) logically follows.

So, Only conclusion (II) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
