Question : Directions: In this question, three statements are given, followed by two conclusions. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follows/follow from the statements.
Statements:
I. No streak is a line.
II. Some lines are bonds.
III. All bonds are flashes.
Conclusions:
I. Some flashes are streaks.
II. No flash is a line.
Option 1: Only conclusion I follows
Option 2: Both conclusions I and II follow
Option 3: Only conclusion II follows
Option 4: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I:
Some flashes are streaks – From the above diagram, it can be seen that there is no direct relation between flashes and streaks. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
Conclusion II:
No flash is a line – From the Venn diagram, it can be seen that the circle of flash and line intersect and have some common area between them and it implies that some flash are lines. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
Therefore, neither conclusion I nor II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
