Question:

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. 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:

Some Car are flat

Some flat are trains

Conclusions:-

I        Some trains are Car

II       No trains is Car

Options:

Only Conclusion I follows

Only Conclusion II follows

Only Conclusions I and II follows

None of the above

Correct Answer:

None of the above

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4: None of the above

Conclusion I: Some Trains are Cars

  • This is not logically valid because the statements only tell us:

    • Some Cars ↔ Flat

    • Some Flats ↔ Trains
      But there’s no direct connection between Trains and Cars. So this is not necessarily true.

Conclusion II: No Train is a Car

  • This is also not logically valid, because we don’t have enough information to prove complete separation between Trains and Cars.
