Question
Directions: Each of these questions consists of two statements followed by two conclusions I and II. Find which of the conclusions logically follows the given statements, even though they are at variance with commonly known facts. Statements: All ants wear pants. All civilised people wear pants. Conclusions: I. All ants are civilised II. Some ants are civiliseda.If only conclusion II followsb.If neither I nor II followsc.Both I and II followsd.Only I Follows
Solution
The answer is a. Only conclusion II follows. Here's why:
The statements are:
- All ants wear pants.
- All civilized people wear pants.
From these statements, we can't conclude that all ants are civilized (conclusion I) because the statements don't say that all beings that wear pants are civilized. It only says that all civilized people wear pants, but it doesn't mean that wearing pants is exclusive to civilized people.
However, we can conclude that some ants are civilized (conclusion II) because if all ants wear pants and all civilized people wear pants, there must be some overlap between ants and civilized people. Therefore, some ants must be civilized.
