Statement:
Some pots are belt.
No belt is white.
Conclusions :
(I) Some pots are white is a possibility.
(II) Some pots are not white.
Which of the Conclusions follow from the given statement?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Both I & II follow
“Some pots are belt” means the pots and belt circles overlap; “No belt is white” means the belt and white circles do not touch. Nothing is said about pots and white directly.
Conclusion I (Some pots are white is a possibility) follows: the pots that are not belts are free, so the pots circle may overlap the white circle, and a possibility only needs to be allowed, not certain.
Conclusion II (Some pots are not white) follows: the pots that are belts can never be white, since no belt is white, so at least those pots are not white.
