Statements: Some Bottles are Papers Some Papers are pens No Pen is Pencil. Conclusions : (I) Some Bottle are pencil (II) No Bottle is pencil (III) Some Bottle are pen
|
Only (I) conclusion follow Only (II) conclusion follow Only (III) conclusion follow Either (I) or (II) follows |
Either (I) or (II) follows |
The correct answer is Option 4: Either (I) or (II) follows Analysis of Statements
(I) Some Bottle are Pencil: This is not definitely true because there is no direct relation given between Bottle and Pencil. (II) No Bottle is Pencil- This is also not definitely true because the statements do not completely separate Bottles and Pencils. Since conclusion (I) and conclusion (II) are exact opposites of each other (“Some Bottle are Pencil” and “No Bottle is Pencil”), exactly one of them must follow, but both cannot follow together. (III) Some Bottle are Pen: This does not definitely follow because:
The word “some” may refer to different Papers, so we cannot conclude that Bottles are definitely Pens. Hence, only Either (I) or (II) follows. |
