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:

All parrots are eagles.

No parrot is a crow.

Conclusions:

(I) No eagle is a crow.

(Il) All crows are parrots.

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

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Neither conclusion I nor Il follows

Let’s analyze the statements:

Statements:

1. All parrots are eagles → (Parrot ⊆ Eagle)

2. No parrot is a crow → (Parrot ∩ Crow = ∅)

   Check Conclusion I: No eagle is a crow

We only know:

• Parrots are inside eagles

• Parrots do not overlap with crows

But we have no information about eagles vs crows (except parrots part), so eagles outside parrots may still overlap with crows.

Conclusion I does not follow.

Check Conclusion II: All crows are parrots

We know:

• Parrots and crows do not overlap at all.

So saying all crows are parrots contradicts “no parrot is a crow”.

Conclusion II also does not follow.

Final Answer:

Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows.
