Question : Directions: Three statements are given, followed by three conclusions numbered I, II, and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some Sofas are Chair. Some Chairs are Tables. All Tables are Beds. Conclusions: (I) Some Sofas are Tables. (II) Some Chairs are Beds. (III) Some Beds are Sofas.
Option 1: Both Conclusions II and III follow
Option 2: Only Conclusion I follows
Option 3: Both Conclusions I and III follow
Option 4: Only Conclusion II follows
Correct Answer: Only Conclusion II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statement is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: Some Sofas are Tables – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between sofas and tables. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion II: Some Chairs are Beds – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing chairs and beds overlap and have some parts of their area in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some chairs are beds. Thus, this conclusion follows. Conclusion III: Some Beds are Sofas – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between beds and sofas. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
So, the only conclusion II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
