EduRev CLAT answered |
The least possible Venn diagram is:
Conclusions:
I. Some white are trucks. → Not follow (As, there is no definite relation between white and trucks. Hence, false)
II. Some horses being truck is a possibility. → Follows (As, some horses are trucks is not definite, but it can be possible)
Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion II follows".

Statements I and II can be represented as venn diagrams in the following ways:
As ‘Female birds lay eggs’, so ‘All birds lay eggs’ is incorrect.
Conclusion ‘Hens are Birds’ may or may not be true as can be seen from the Venn diagrams.
Conclusion ‘Some chickens are not hens’ is also not definitely true as can be seen from the third Venn diagram.
Hence, option (d).

Answer: Option A
Some boys are scholars:
There are two possible deductions from this statement.
i) All scholars are boys (i.e. the set of scholars is a subset of boys)
ii) Some scholars are boys (i.e. the intersection of the sets of scholars and boys is not a null set)
ii) Some scholars are boys (i.e. the intersection of the sets of scholars and boys is not a null set)
Some teachers are boys
There are two possible deductions from this statement.
i) All boys are teachers (i.e. the set of boys is a subset of teachers)
ii) Some boys are teachers (i.e. the intersection of the sets of teachers and boys is not a null set)
i) All boys are teachers (i.e. the set of boys is a subset of teachers)
ii) Some boys are teachers (i.e. the intersection of the sets of teachers and boys is not a null set)
All scholars are observers.
There are two possible deductions from this statement.
i) All observers are scholars (i.e. the set of observers and scholars are identical)
ii) Some observers are scholars (i.e. the set of observers is a subset of scholars)
i) All observers are scholars (i.e. the set of observers and scholars are identical)
ii) Some observers are scholars (i.e. the set of observers is a subset of scholars)
Let us analyze the conclusions:
1) Some scholars are boys.This is true for both the cases that have been mentioned above,
2) Some scholars are not boysThis may or may not be true because there are chances that all scholars may also be boys.
3) Some observers are boys.We know that either all or some observers are scholars (i.e. the set of observers is definitely a subset of the set of scholars) and the intersection of the sets of scholars and boys is not a null set. This means that some observers will always be boys. Hence conclusion 3 is true.
4) Some teachers are scholars.The intersection of set of boys and scholars is not a null set and the intersection of set of boys and teachers is not a null set. But this doesn’t mean that the intersection of boys and teachers will also be a null set. There may or may not be some teachers who are scholars.
Thus this statement is incorrect.
2) Some scholars are not boysThis may or may not be true because there are chances that all scholars may also be boys.

Thus this statement is incorrect.

Analysis:
All teachers are professors, all professors are researchers, and all researchers are consultants. We have to determine which conclusions logically follow from these given statements.
Conclusions:
1. Some consultants are teachers
This conclusion can be logically derived from the given statements. Since all teachers are professors, and all professors are researchers, which in turn are consultants, it is possible that some consultants are also teachers.
2. All professors are consultants
This conclusion cannot be logically derived from the given statements. While all professors are indeed researchers and consultants, it does not necessarily mean that all professors are consultants. The statements do not provide a direct link between professors and consultants.
3. Some researchers are teachers
This conclusion can be logically derived from the given statements. Since all professors are researchers, and all teachers are professors, it is possible that some researchers are also teachers.
4. All professors are teachers
This conclusion cannot be logically derived from the given statements. Although all teachers are professors, it does not mean that all professors are teachers. The statements only establish a one-way relationship between teachers and professors, not vice versa.
Therefore, only conclusions 1 and 3 logically follow from the given statements.

Statement:
No plate is a spoon.
Some plates are forks.
All forks are knives.
The least possible diagram for the given statements is as follows:
Conclusions:
(i) Some plates are knives is a possibility - False (Some plates are forks and All forks are knives, so some plates are knives is definitely true).
(ii) No spoon is a fork - False (Because No direct relation given between them, so It can be possible not definite).
Here, Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Understanding the Statements
The given statements are:
- All the windows are doors.
- No door is a wall.
Analyzing the Conclusions
1. Conclusion 1: Some windows are walls.
- Since all windows are classified as doors and no door can be a wall, it's impossible for any window to be a wall. Therefore, this conclusion does not logically follow from the statements.
2. Conclusion 2: No wall is a door.
- Given that no door is a wall, this statement is essentially a restatement of the second premise. Thus, it logically follows from the statements provided.
Final Evaluation
- Conclusion 1: Does not follow.
- Conclusion 2: Follows.
Answer Selection
Based on the analysis:
- Only conclusion (2) logically follows from the statements provided.
Thus, the correct answer is (B) Only (2) conclusion follows.

Given Statements:
I. All B are V.
II. All K are B.
Conclusion:
I. All K are V.
II. No V is B.
Explanation:
In the given statements, it is mentioned that all B are V (I) and all K are B (II). Based on these statements, we can logically deduce the following:
Conclusion I: All K are V
Since all B are V and all K are B, it implies that all K are also V. This conclusion logically follows from the given statements.
Conclusion II: No V is B
This conclusion does not follow from the given statements. It is possible for some B to be V as per the first statement "All B are V".
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) Only conclusion I follows.
I. All B are V.
II. All K are B.
Conclusion:
I. All K are V.
II. No V is B.
Explanation:
In the given statements, it is mentioned that all B are V (I) and all K are B (II). Based on these statements, we can logically deduce the following:
Conclusion I: All K are V
Since all B are V and all K are B, it implies that all K are also V. This conclusion logically follows from the given statements.
Conclusion II: No V is B
This conclusion does not follow from the given statements. It is possible for some B to be V as per the first statement "All B are V".
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) Only conclusion I follows.

Understanding the Statements
The statements provided are:
- All apples are fruits.
- All fruits are healthy.
From these statements, let's analyze the conclusions drawn.
Analysis of Conclusions
1. Conclusion 1: Some apples are healthy.
- Since all apples are fruits and all fruits are healthy, it logically follows that some apples must also be healthy. This conclusion is valid.
2. Conclusion 2: All apples are healthy.
- Again, since every apple falls under the category of fruits, and all fruits are healthy, it can be concluded that all apples are indeed healthy. This conclusion is also valid.
3. Conclusion 3: Some healthy things are fruits.
- Since all fruits are classified as healthy, it follows that some of the healthy things must be fruits. Therefore, this conclusion is valid.
4. Conclusion 4: Some fruits are apples.
- Given that all apples belong to the larger category of fruits, it can be concluded that there are indeed some fruits (specifically, apples) among all the fruits. This conclusion is valid.
Final Verdict
Since all four conclusions logically follow from the initial statements, the correct answer is:
Option D: All the four conclusions are valid.
Each conclusion is supported by the inherent relationships established in the statements, reinforcing the interconnectedness of apples, fruits, and health.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below :
Conclusions:
I. Some M are not W → Does not follow (As some X are M, all W are X. So, it is possible but not definitely true)
II. No W is M → Does not follow (As all W are X, some X are M. So,it is possible but not definitely true)
III. Some M are not X → Does not follow (As some X are M. So, it is possible but not definitely true)
∴ Here, None of the conclusions follow.
Hence, the correct answer is "None of the conclusions follow".

Upon examining the statements and conclusions provided, it is clear that the conclusion "(1) Some bats are locks" logically follows from the given statements because if all locks are keys and all keys are bats, then some bats must indeed be locks.
Conclusion "(2) Some watches are keys" does not follow because there is no direct link between watches and keys in the statements.
Conclusion "(3) All the keys are locks" is incorrect because it contradicts the given statement that "All locks are keys."
Therefore, the correct conclusion is indeed "(1) Some bats are locks," making the correct option "Only (1)."

Understanding the Statements
The statements provided are:
- Some envelopes are gums.
- Some gums are seals.
- Some seals are adhesives.
These statements indicate relationships among four categories: envelopes, gums, seals, and adhesives.
Analyzing the Conclusions
Now, let’s analyze each conclusion based on the statements:
- Conclusion 1: Some envelopes are seals.
- This conclusion cannot be directly inferred. We know some envelopes are gums and some gums are seals, but we cannot conclude that some envelopes are seals as there may be no direct connection.
- Conclusion 2: Some gums are adhesives.
- This conclusion is also not valid. Although some gums are seals and some seals are adhesives, there is no direct indication that any gums are adhesives.
- Conclusion 3: Some adhesives are seals.
- This conclusion logically follows from the statements. Since some seals are adhesives, it is valid to say that some adhesives are indeed seals.
- Conclusion 4: Some adhesives are gums.
- Similar to conclusion 2, this cannot be concluded. There is no direct relationship established that connects adhesives to gums.
Final Evaluation
Based on the analysis:
- Valid Conclusion:
- Only conclusion 3 ("Some adhesives are seals") logically follows from the given statements.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'A' (Only 3), as it is the only conclusion that can be derived directly from the statements provided.

Statements:
- All Z are Y: This means every Z is contained within Y.
- Some Y are B: This means there is at least some overlap between Y and B.
Conclusions:
- Some B are not Z:
- From the statements, there is no direct evidence that some B are not Z. While we know "Some Y are B" and "All Z are Y," this does not establish anything about the relationship between B and Z. Hence, this conclusion does not follow.
- Some Y are not Z:
- From the statement "All Z are Y," it follows that Z is entirely contained within Y. However, nothing in the statements suggests that some Y are not Z. This conclusion does not follow.
- Some Z are Y:
- From the statement "All Z are Y," it is clear that all Z are Y, so "Some Z are Y" is logically true as it is part of "all." Hence, this conclusion follows.

Given Statements:
All birds are crows.
Some crows are parrots.
No crow is a pigeon.
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:
Conclusions:
I. No parrot is a pigeon - False (Because, No definite relation given between parrot and pigeon, so it can be possibly only).
II. Some birds are parrots - False (Because, No definite relation given between birds and parrots, so it can be possibly only).
So, Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

**Logical Reasoning: Statements and Conclusions**
**Statements:**
- All the goats are tigers.
- All the tigers are lions.
**Conclusions:**
1) All the goats are lions.
2) All the lions are goats.
3) Some lions are goats.
4) Some tigers are goats.
To determine which conclusions logically follow from the given statements, we need to analyze the information provided.
**Explanation:**
From the given statements, we can infer the following:
- All the goats are tigers. (Statement 1)
- All the tigers are lions. (Statement 2)
Based on these statements, we can draw the following conclusions:
**Conclusion 1: All the goats are lions.**
This conclusion cannot be logically inferred from the given statements because there is no direct relationship between goats and lions. The statements only establish a relationship between goats and tigers, and between tigers and lions. Therefore, conclusion 1 is not valid.
**Conclusion 2: All the lions are goats.**
This conclusion cannot be logically inferred from the given statements because there is no direct relationship between lions and goats. The statements only establish a relationship between goats and tigers, and between tigers and lions. Therefore, conclusion 2 is not valid.
**Conclusion 3: Some lions are goats.**
This conclusion can be logically inferred from the given statements. Since all the goats are tigers, and all the tigers are lions, it is possible for some lions to also be goats. Therefore, conclusion 3 is valid.
**Conclusion 4: Some tigers are goats.**
This conclusion can be logically inferred from the given statements. Since all the goats are tigers, it is possible for some tigers to also be goats. Therefore, conclusion 4 is valid.
Therefore, the conclusions that logically follow from the given statements are:
- Conclusion 3: Some lions are goats.
- Conclusion 4: Some tigers are goats.
Hence, the correct answer is option C: Only (1), (3), and (4).

Debolina Roy answered |
Reasoning:
- From the given statements, we know that both cars and fans are subsets of cats.
- However, there's no direct relationship established between cars and fans.
- We cannot conclude that all cars are fans (conclusion 1).
- Similarly, we cannot definitively say that some fans are cars (conclusion 2).
Therefore, neither conclusion follows logically from the given statements.
Answer: (D) Neither (1) nor (2) follows

Understanding the Statements
The statements provided can be analyzed to determine the relationships between the categories mentioned:
- Some jims are nests.
- Some nests are beams.
- All beams are coaches.
Analyzing the Conclusions
Let’s evaluate each conclusion based on the statements:
Conclusion I: Some coaches are nests.
- Since all beams are coaches and some nests are beams, it follows that some nests must also be coaches. Hence, this conclusion is valid.
Conclusion II: Some beams are jims.
- The statement indicates that some jims are nests and some nests are beams. However, it does not confirm that any beams are jims, so this conclusion cannot be confidently stated as valid. Thus, this conclusion is not necessarily true.
Conclusion III: No beam is a jim.
- The statements do not provide enough information to conclude that no beams are jims. Since some jims are nests and some nests are beams, it is possible (but not guaranteed) that some jims could be beams. Therefore, this conclusion is not valid.
Conclusion IV: Some nests are jims.
- Given that some jims are nests, it logically follows that some nests must be jims. Thus, this conclusion is valid.
Final Assessment
Based on the evaluations:
- Valid Conclusions: I and IV
- Not Valid Conclusions: II and III
Thus, the correct answer is option 'C': Both conclusions I and IV and either conclusion II or III follow.

Given Statements:
I. No F is N.
II. All N are L.
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:
Conclusions:
I. All F are L - False (Because, All N are L and no F is N, so those part of N that is L will be definitely not F).
II. All N are F - False (Because, No F is N).
III. Some L are N - True (Because, All N are L so, some L are N is definitely true).
So, Only conclusion III follows.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Solution:
The given statements are:
Statement 1: All the research scholars are psychologists.
Statement 2: Some psychologists are scientists.
We need to find the conclusions that logically follow from these statements. Let's analyze each conclusion one by one:
Conclusion 1: All the research scholars are scientists.
This conclusion cannot be logically derived from the given statements. Although some psychologists are scientists, it does not necessarily mean that all research scholars are scientists. Therefore, conclusion 1 does not follow.
Conclusion 2: Some research scholars are scientists.
This conclusion also cannot be logically derived from the given statements. While it is true that some psychologists are scientists, it does not guarantee that some research scholars are also scientists. Therefore, conclusion 2 does not follow.
Conclusion 3: Some scientists are psychologists.
This conclusion can be logically derived from the given statements. Statement 2 mentions that "Some psychologists are scientists," which implies that there is an overlapping between the two groups. Therefore, conclusion 3 follows.
Conclusion 4: Some psychologists are research scholars.
This conclusion can also be logically derived from the given statements. Statement 1 mentions that "All the research scholars are psychologists," which implies that there is at least some overlap between psychologists and research scholars. Therefore, conclusion 4 follows.
Based on the above analysis, the conclusions that logically follow from the given statements are:
- Conclusion 3: Some scientists are psychologists.
- Conclusion 4: Some psychologists are research scholars.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: Only (3) and (4).
The given statements are:

Debanshi Saha answered |
Correct option is. Only (1) conclusion follows
Explanation: From the first statement "All buildings are chalks," we can infer that whatever is true for all chalks will also be true for all buildings. The second statement "No chalk is toffee" implies that there is no overlap between chalks and toffees.
Conclusion 1: "No building is toffee" logically follows because if no chalk is toffee and all buildings are chalks, then buildings cannot be toffees either.
Conclusion 2: "All chalks are buildings" does not logically follow. The first statement does not imply that all chalks must be buildings, only that all buildings are chalks. There could be chalks that are not buildings.

Since all storybooks have pictures and some storybooks have words, so some storybooks definitely have both words and pictures.
The other two conclusions cannot be derived from the statements.

Answer: Option A
Outcome I does not follow; just because mineral water will be sold at a cheaper rate by the city council, this does not mean that all private companies selling bottled mineral water will close down altogether.
Outcome II does not follow; since their increased sales will probably more than make up for any losses incurred due to lower prices.
Outcome III does not follow; it is ludicrous to assume that people will be willing to do away with normal tap water just because mineral water is being sold at a somewhat reasonable rate.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Let's analyze the statements and conclusions:
Statements:
- Some ants are parrots.
- All the parrots are apples.
Conclusions:
- All the apples are parrots.
- Some ants are apples.
Analysis:
-
From Statement 2, we know that "All the parrots are apples." This means that every parrot is indeed an apple, but not necessarily that every apple is a parrot.
-
From Statement 1, "Some ants are parrots," and knowing from Statement 2 that parrots are apples, it follows that some ants must be apples. This directly supports Conclusion 2.
-
Conclusion 1 states that "All the apples are parrots." However, Statement 2 only tells us that all parrots are apples, not that all apples are parrots. Hence, Conclusion 1 does not necessarily follow.
Therefore, the correct option is:
2. Only (2) conclusion follows
