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 of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
All chips are lays.
Some lays are snacks.
Conclusions:
I. All lays are chips.
II. All chips are snacks.
Option 1: Both conclusions I and II follow
Option 2: Only conclusion II follows
Option 3: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Option 4: Only conclusion I 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):
All lays are chips – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing lays lie inside the circle representing chips while some lie outside. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II):
All chips are snacks – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no definite relation between chips and snacks. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
So, neither conclusion I nor II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
