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: Some papers are books. Some books are not pens. Conclusions: I. All papers are pens II. Some papers are not pensa.If only I followb.If neither I nor II followsc.If only II followd.If either I or II follows
Solution
The correct answer is c. If only II follows.
Here's the step by step reasoning:
Statement 1: Some papers are books. This means there is an overlap between papers and books. Some papers are also books, but not all.
Statement 2: Some books are not pens. This means there is a portion of books that do not overlap with pens.
Conclusion I: All papers are pens. This cannot be concluded from the statements. The statements only tell us about some papers
