Question
In the question given below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statementStatements: Some books are toys. No toy is red. Conclusions:I. Some books are red.II. Some books are not toys
Solution
From the given statement, we can infer the following:
Statement: Some books are toys. No toy is red.
Conclusion I: Some books are red. - We cannot definitively conclude this from the given statement. The statement does not provide any information about the color of books. Therefore, this conclusion does not logically follow.
Conclusion II: Some books are not toys. - This conclusion logically follows from the statement. If 'some' books are toys, it implies that 'some' books are not toys.
So, only Conclusion II logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.
