Question Details

Directions (96 -100) : In the question below three statements are given followed by two conclusions. 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.

Only a few Gun is Point
No Point is Pin
All Pin is Glue
Conclusions:
I. Some Glue is not Point
II. Some Gun is not Pin.

A

Only conclusion I follow

B

Only conclusion II follow

C

D

Both conclusions I and II follow

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

Both conclusions I and II follow

Solution :

The correct answer is Both conclusions I and II follow.


Step-by-Step Explanation:


1. Analysis of Given Statements:

Statement 1: "Only a few Gun is Point"
This means two things simultaneously: Some Gun is Point and Some Gun is not Point.

Statement 2: "No Point is Pin"
This means that there is zero overlap between the circle representing "Point" and the circle representing "Pin". No element of Point can ever belong to Pin, and vice versa.

Statement 3: "All Pin is Glue"
This means the entire circle of "Pin" is contained inside the circle of "Glue".


2. Evaluating Conclusion I:

Conclusion I: "Some Glue is not Point"

From Statement 3, all Pins are inside Glue. From Statement 2, no Pin can ever be a Point. Therefore, that specific portion of Glue which contains Pin can never be a Point. Hence, it is definitely true that Some Glue is not Point.

Thus, Conclusion I logically follows.


3. Evaluating Conclusion II:

Conclusion II: "Some Gun is not Pin"

From Statement 1, a portion of Gun is definitely a Point. From Statement 2, no Point can be a Pin. Therefore, the portion of Gun that lies inside Point can never enter the Pin circle. Hence, it is definitely true that Some Gun is not Pin.

Thus, Conclusion II logically follows.


Conclusion:

Since both individual conclusions logically follow from the given set of statements, the correct option is Both conclusions I and II follow.
