Question
Two statements are given followed by two conclusions I and II. Consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and decide which of the given conclusion(s) logically follow(s) from the given statements.Statements:1. All ships are boats.2. Some boats are bussesConclusions:1. Some busses are ships2. All ships are busses.ANeither conclusion I nor II follow.BOnly conclusion I follow.CBoth conclusion I and II follow.DOnly conclusion II follows
Solution
The correct answer is B. Only conclusion I follows.
Here's the step-by-step reasoning:
Statement 1: All ships are boats. This means that every ship is also considered a boat.
Statement 2: Some boats are buses. This means that there are certain boats that are also considered buses.
Conclusion 1: Some buses are ships. This could be true because some boats (which could be ships as per statement 1) are buses.
Conclusion 2: All ships are buses. This is not necessarily true. While all ships are boats, only some boats are buses. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that all ships are buses.
So, only conclusion I logically follows from the given statements.
