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 cups are glasses.

No cup is a plate.

Conclusions:

(I) No glass is a plate.

(Il) Some glasses are not cups.

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

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Neither conclusion I nor Il follows

Let’s analyze step by step:

Statements:

1. Some cups are glasses → (Some C ⟶ G)

2. No cup is a plate → (C ⟶ not P

   Conclusion (I): No glass is a plate

We only know:

• Some cups are glasses

• No cup is a plate

But we don’t know anything about all glasses. Some glasses (those not cups) might be plates.

Conclusion I does NOT follow

Conclusion (II): Some glasses are not cups

From “Some cups are glasses,” we cannot conclude that some glasses are outside cups.

Conclusion II does NOT follow

Final Answer: Neither I nor II follows
