Directions: In each question three statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II have been given. You have to take the given statement to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements. Give answer.
Statements :
Some fruits are Sweets.
All Sweets are vegetables.
No cake is a fruit.
Conclusions :
I. Some Sweets are cakes.
II. Some fruits are vegetables.
Options
- AIf only conclusion I follows
- BIf only conclusion II follows
- CIf either conclusion I or II follows
- DIf neither conclusion I nor II follows
Correct answer
B. If only conclusion II follows
Step-by-step solution
No cake is a fruit (E) + some fruits are Sweets (I)
E + I = O*
some Sweets are not cakes.
Hence, conclusion I does not follow.
Again, some fruits are Sweets (I) + All Sweets are vegetables (A)
I + A = I
some fruits are vegetables(I).
Hence conclusion II follows.
Hence, option B is correct.
