Question Details

Directions (71-73): In the question below three statements are given followed by two conclusions.

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

Both conclusions I and II follow

Solution :

The correct option is Both conclusions I and II follow.

Let us analyze the given statements step-by-step:

1. Statements Analysis:
- "Only a few Chess is Carrom" means: Some Chess is Carrom, and Some Chess is NOT Carrom.
- "Some Carrom is Ludo" means: There is an intersection/overlap between Carrom and Ludo.
- "Mostly Ludo is Monopoly" means: Some Ludo is Monopoly.

2. Evaluating Conclusion I:
- Conclusion I: "All Carrom can be Chess."
- The restriction "Only a few Chess is Carrom" implies that all Chess cannot be Carrom. However, there is no restriction preventing all Carrom from being inside Chess. Therefore, it is entirely possible for all Carrom to be a part of Chess.
- Thus, Conclusion I follows (as a possibility).

3. Evaluating Conclusion II:
- Conclusion II: "Some Monopoly can be Chess."
- There is no direct negative relation or restriction given between Monopoly and Chess. Hence, a possibility exists where Monopoly intersects with Chess.
- Thus, Conclusion II follows (as a possibility).

Therefore, both conclusions I and II logically follow.
