Question
Statement: Some roads are ponds. All ponds are stores. Some stores are bags. Conclusions: I. Some bags are ponds. II. Some stores are roads. Question 30Answera.if conclusion II followsb.if neither conclusion I nor II followsc. if conclusion I followd.if either conclusion I or II follows
Solution
The answer is b. if neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Here's why:
From the statement "Some roads are ponds. All ponds are stores. Some stores are bags.", we can't definitively conclude that "Some bags are ponds" (Conclusion I) or "Some stores are roads" (Conclusion II).
For Conclusion I, while it's true that some stores are bags, we don't know if the bags are also ponds. The statements don't provide enough information to make this conclusion.
For Conclusion II, while it's true that some roads are ponds and all ponds are stores, this doesn't necessarily mean that some stores are roads. The roads could be part of the ponds that are not stores.
Therefore, neither conclusion follows from the given statements.
