In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions based on those statements. taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion logically follows the given statements.
Statements:
i. All R are M
II. Some S are R
Conclusions:
I. Some R are S
Ii. Some M are not R
III. Some R are M
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
A Venn diagram based on the statements is:
1. There is definitive overlap between R and S, thus conclusion I follows.
2. Since all M are R, thus some M not being R is not true, conclusion II does not follow.
3. Again, all M are R, conclusion III is definitely true.
