Practicing Success
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 conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All bags are black. Some bags are white. Conclusions: (I) Some black are white. (II) All black are bags.
|
Neither conclusions follow Only conclusion I follows Both conclusions follow Only conclusion II follows |
Only conclusion I follows |
A Venn diagram based on the statements is:
1. There is clear overlap between black and white, thus conclusion I follows. 2. All black being bags is not implied in the statements, thus conclusion II does not follow. |
