Question : Directions: Two statements are given, followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. 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 movies are dramas.
Some dramas are fiction.
Conclusions:
I. Some movies are fiction.
II. All fiction is movies.
Option 1: Only conclusion I follows
Option 2: Only conclusion II follows
Option 3: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Option 4: Both conclusions I and II follow
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 movies are fiction – From the given Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no overlapping between the circle of movie and fiction implying that there is no definite relation between movies and fiction. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II):
All fiction is movies – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no overlapping between the circle of movie and fiction implying that there is no definite relation between movies and fiction. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
So, neither conclusion I nor II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
