Question : Directions: 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 conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
Some mocks are exams.
Some exams are banks.
No bank is local.
Conclusions:
I. Some mocks are local.
II. No mock is a local.
Option 1: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Option 2: Only conclusion I follows
Option 3: Only conclusion II follows
Option 4: Either conclusion I or II follows
Correct Answer: Either conclusion I or II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
Some mocks are local – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no definite relation between mocks and local. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II):
No mock is a local – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no definite relation between mocks and local. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
So, in that case, either conclusion I or II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
