Two statements are given below followed by two conclusions numbered as I and II respectively. Consider the given statements as true even if they seem to be not. After reading all the conclusions conform which of the given conclusions logically follows, disregarding commonly known facts.
All prawns are eggs (A) – conversion – some eggs are prawns (I). Hence conclusion I follows. No fish is a prawn (E) + all prawns are eggs (A) = E + A = O ∗ = some eggs are not fish. Hence conclusion II does not follow.
Two statements are given below followed by two conclusions numbered as I and II respectively. Consider the given statements as true even if they seem to be not. After reading all the conclusions conform which of the given conclusions logically follows, disregarding commonly known facts.
Both the conclusions are mediate inferences. We know from table of mediate inference that A + I = no result. However, this conclusion forms the complementary pairs and comply the conditions, i.e. both the conclusions are I - E type and have the same subject and predicate. Hence either 1 or 2 follows.
Two statements are given below followed by two conclusions numbered as I and II respectively. Consider the given statements as true even if they seem to be not. After reading all the conclusions conform which of the given conclusions logically follows, disregarding commonly known facts.
Both the statements are aligned, i.e. predicate of the first is the subject of the second. From the table of mediate inference, we know that I + A = I. Hence conclusion “some flies are beautiful” follows.
