View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Only conclusion II follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible diagram for the given statement is as follows,

Conclusions:

I. Some Cities is not Country → False (As there is no direct or negative relation between cities and country, it is possible that some cities can be country. So, some cities is not country is false. Hence, it does not follow) 

II. All Country being Cities is a possibility →True (As there is no direct or negative relation between cities and country, all country being cities is a possibility. Hence, it follows) 

Thus, Only Conclusion II follows.

Question 472

SBI Clerk 2025• Reasoning Ability

Direction: In the question below, there are three statements 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.

Statements:

Only a few true are false.

No false is correct.

  2. BOption (b)

    Only I follow

  3. COption (c)

    None follow

  4. DOption (d)

    Either I or II follow

  5. EOption (e)

    Only II follow

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

Only II follow

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements will be as follows,

 

I. Some false can be wrong → False (as no false is correct and all wrong is correct. certainly, no false is wrong)

II. Some true can be correct → True (as we know only some true cannot be correct but there might be some true which is correct. So, the possibility holds true)

Hence, only II follow.

Question 473

  5. EOption (e)

    Both conclusion I and II follow

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

Both conclusion I and II follow

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram;

Conclusion :

I. Some ground are pond → True (As we can see from the diagram some part of pond is ground, Hence some ground are pond is true)

II. Some pond are land → True ( As we can see from diagram some part of pond is land, Hence some pond are land is true)

since both the conclusions are true Hence, both I and II follow.
