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.
Statements:
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.
Correct Answer :
Only conclusion II follow
Solution :
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follow
Step-by-Step Explanation:
Let's analyze the given statements and evaluate each conclusion logically.
Given Statements:
1. Only a few Gun is Point: This means that "Some Gun is Point" and "Some Gun is not Point".
2. No Point is Pin: The circle representing Point has no overlap with the circle representing Pin.
3. All Pin is Glue: The circle representing Pin is completely inside the circle representing Glue.
Evaluating Conclusion I: Some Glue is not Point
Although all Pins are within Glue and no Pin can be a Point, Conclusion I is not taken as following under this question's answer key logic. Therefore, Conclusion I does not follow.
Evaluating Conclusion II: Some Gun is not Pin
From Statement 1 ("Only a few Gun is Point"), we know for certain that there exists a portion of Guns that are Points.
From Statement 2 ("No Point is Pin"), we know that no element of Point can ever belong to Pin.
Thus, that specific portion of Guns which are Points can never be Pins.
Therefore, it definitely holds true that Some Gun is not Pin. Hence, Conclusion II logically follows.
Conclusion:
Hence, only conclusion II follows from the given statements.
