Question
Select the correct answerStatements:Some golds are silver.All silvers are white.No white is a yellow.Conclusions: I. Some golds which are white are not yellow.II. Some golds being yellow is a possibilityOptionsIf only conclusion II followsIf only conclusion I followsIf both conclusion I and conclusion II followIf either conclusion I or conclusion II followsIf neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows
Solution
The correct answer is "If only conclusion I follows".
Here's the step-by-step reasoning:
Statement 1: Some golds are silver. Statement 2: All silvers are white. Statement 3: No white is a yellow.
From these statements, we can infer that some golds are white (because some golds are silver and all silvers are white). We also know that no white is yellow. Therefore, it's correct to say that some golds which are white are not yellow. So, conclusion I follows.
However, since we know that no white is yellow and some golds are white, it's not possible for some golds to be yellow. So, conclusion II does not follow.
