In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions based on those statements. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows the given statements.
Statements:
I. No E is F.
II. All F are D.
Conclusions:
I. No E is D.
II. Some D are F.
III. No F is E.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Conclusion I: No E is D. This conclusion is not supported by the given statements. Statement I tells us that "No E is F," but it does not provide information about the relationship between E and D. So, conclusion I is not logically supported by the statements.
Conclusion II: Some D are F. This conclusion is supported by statement II, which states that "All F are D." If all F are D, it implies that there must be some D that are F. So, conclusion II is correct.
Conclusion III: No F is E. This conclusion is supported by statement I, which states that "No E is F." If no E is F, it can be concluded that no F is E.
So, conclusion III is correct.
