Look at the statement and mark the correct answer on the conclusions that follows:
Statements:
A. Shubham is my cousin.
B. A cousin may be an aunt's son, uncle's son or son of parent's step-siblings.
Conclusions:
(I) Shubham is my sister's son.
(II) Shubham is my uncle's son.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
A conclusion follows only if it must be true from the statements. Statement B gives several ways in which Shubham can be my cousin, but nothing tells us which one is true.
Conclusion (I): Shubham is my sister’s son. Does not follow. My sister’s son is my nephew, not my cousin, and Statement B does not list him among the cousins.
Conclusion (II): Shubham is my uncle’s son. Does not follow. This is only one of the possibilities; Shubham could equally be my aunt’s son or the son of a step-sibling of my parents.
