Question

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusion(s) logically follow(s) from the statements).

Statements:

No bus is a car.

No car is a truck.

Conclusions:

(1) No car is a bus.

(Il) No truck is a car.

• A. Only conclusion Il follows
• B. Only conclusion I follows
• C. Neither conclusion I nor Il follows
• D. Both conclusions I and Il follow.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Both conclusions I and Il follow.

Let’s translate the statements:

1. No bus is a car → Bus and Car are completely separate

2. No car is a truck → Car and Truck are completely separate

   Check Conclusions:

(I) No car is a bus

This is just the reverse of statement 1.
If no bus is a car, then no car is a bus.

Conclusion I follows

---

(II) No truck is a car

This is the reverse of statement 2.
If no car is a truck, then no truck is a car.

Conclusion II follows

Final Answer: Both I and II follow
