Question:

Two Statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusion logically follow(s) from the statements.

Statements:

1. All tables are strong.

2. No strong is weak.

Conclusions:

(I) No tables are weak.

(II) Some weak are tables.

Options:

Neither conclusion follows 

Only conclusion II follows 

Both conclusions follow 

Only conclusion II follows 

Correct Answer:

Only conclusion II follows 

Explanation:

A Venn diagram based on the given statements is:

1. Since all tables are strong and no tables are weak, thus no tables can be weak and conclusion I follows.

2. There is no overlap between tables and weak, thus conclusion II does not follow.

⇒ Only conclusion I follows.
