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 conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some actors are dancers. Some dancers are singers. Conclusions: (I) Some actors are singers. (Il) No singer is a dancer.

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

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Neither conclusion I nor Il follows

Let’s analyze carefully

Statements:

1. Some actors are dancers

2. Some dancers are singers

This means:

• There is some overlap between actors & dancers

• There is some overlap between dancers & singers

But we are not sure whether the same dancers are involved in both statements.

Conclusion (I): Some actors are singers

Not necessarily true.
The dancers who are actors may be different from the dancers who are singers.

Does not follow

Conclusion (II): No singer is a dancer

This directly contradicts the statement “Some dancers are singers”

Does not follow

Final Answer: Neither (I) nor (II) follows
