Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:

All numbers are figures.

Only a few figures are digits.

Conclusions:

I. No number is digit.

II. Some numbers are figures.

  1. AOption (a)

    Only I follow

  2. BOption (b)

    Only II follow

  3. COption (c)

    Either I or II follow

  4. DOption (d)

    Neither I nor II follows

  5. EOption (e)

    All follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Only II follow

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows

Conclusions:

I. No number is digit → False (It is possible but not definite)

II. Some numbers are figures → True (As it is given in the statement that All numbers are figures, some numbers are figures is definitely true)

Thus, conclusion II follows.

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Only I follow

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows

Conclusions:

I. Some words are not book → True (As No book is letter given so that the word which are letter they will never be the book.)

II. No book is a word → False (As it is the definite conclusion and no direct relation given between book and word so the we cannot define it.)

Thus, only conclusion I follows.

    Only II follows

  3. COption (c)

    Either I or II follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Neither I nor II follows

  5. EOption (e)

    Both I and II follow

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

Both I and II follow

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows: 

Conclusions:

I. Some numbers are odd → True (As shown in the above diagram).

II. No odd is even → True (As in the given statement only numbers are odd and no other entity can become an odd).

Hence, both conclusions I and II follow.
