| Direction: In the question there are given two or more statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts. |
| Statements: All heavy are dwarves. |
| Some giants are heavy. |
| All tall are giants. |
| Conclusions: I. All tall being dwarves is a possibility. |
| II. At least some heavy are giants. |
A) if only conclusion I follows.
B) if only conclusion II follows.
C) if either conclusion I or II follows.
D) if neither conclusion I nor II follows.
E) if both conclusions I and II follow.
Correct Answer: E
Solution :
Some giants are heavy (I) + All heavy are dwarves \[(A)=I+A=I=\] Some giants are dwarves (I). Now, All tall are giant + Some giants are dwarves (I) =A+ 1 = No conclusion. But the possibility in I exists. Hence I follows. gain, Some giants are heavy \[(I)\to \]conversion \[\to \]Some heavy are giants (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
