Which Conclusion will follow on the basis of given statement:
Statement:
Some Apple are Banana.
Some Banana are City.
All City are Green.
Conclusion:
I. Some Apple are being green is a possibility.
II. Some Banana are not Green.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Only Conclusion I follows
A conclusion follows only if it is true in every diagram that fits the statements. A conclusion about a possibility follows if at least one such diagram shows it and the statements do not rule it out.
Conclusion I (Some Apple being green is a possibility) follows. Nothing in the statements keeps Apple away from Green, and the diagram below, which fits all three statements, shows Apple meeting Green.
Conclusion II (Some Banana are not Green) does not follow. Only the Banana that are City are known to be Green; the other Banana may or may not be Green. In the diagram above every Banana is Green, so Conclusion II is not certain.
