Directions : In question, some statements are given, followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow from the given statements. Indicate your answer.
Statements :
All radios are electric goods.
All table-lamps are electric goods.
Conclusions :
I. Some radios are table-lamps.
II. Some table-lamps are radios.
Options
- AIf only conclusion I follows.
- BIf only conclusion II follows.
- CIf either I or II follows.
- DIf neither I nor II follows.
Correct answer
D. If neither I nor II follows.
Step-by-step solution
Checking C1 : Some radios are table-lamps.
We can observe that the class 'radios' and 'table-lamps' are present in different statements and the middle term 'electric goods' is not being distributed even once in either of the statements. Therefore, no definite relationship is possible between these two classes. C1, doesn't follow.
Checking C2 : Some table-lamps are radios.
Following the same logic discussed above, we can state that C2 doesn't follow either.
Hence, option D is correct.
