Direction: In the question below are given 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. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements:
Only a few ant is Bird
Some Bird is drum
Only drum is wood
Conclusions:
I. All wood can be ant
II. All ant can be drum
- AOption (a)
Only I follow
- BOption (b)
Only II follow
- COption (c)
Either I or II follows
- DOption (d)
Neither I nor II follows
- EOption (e)
Both I and II follows
View answer & explanationHide answer & explanation
Correct answer
Only II follow
Why this answer is correct
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows
Conclusions:
I. All wood can be ant → False ( as the only drum is wood, which means all wood is drum, and wood can form only positive relation with drum, not with other elements. Hence, All wood can be ant is false).
II. All ant can be drum → True ( as there is no relation between ant and drum. so, it is possible. Hence, all ant can be drum is true).
Hence, Only II follows is the correct answer.
