Each of the questions below consists of several statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You must consider the statements to be true even if they conflict with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and determine which of them logically follows from the given statements.
Statements:
Only a few Router are Switch.
Some Hub are Switch.
No Router is Hub.
Some Modem are Hub.
Conclusions:
I: Some Router are not Switch.
II: Some Modem being Router is a possibility.
Correct Answer :
If both conclusions I and II follow.
Solution :
Correct Answer: If both conclusions I and II follow.
Let us analyze the given statements step-by-step using logical reasoning and Venn diagram relationships:
Given Statements:
1. Only a few Router are Switch: This phrase implies two key relationships: "Some Router are Switch" AND "Some Router are not Switch".
2. Some Hub are Switch: There is an intersection between the circle representing Hub and the circle representing Switch.
3. No Router is Hub: The circle for Router and the circle for Hub are completely disjoint (they have no overlapping area).
4. Some Modem are Hub: There is an intersection between Modem and Hub.
Evaluation of Conclusions:
Conclusion I: Some Router are not Switch.
From Statement 1, the phrase "Only a few Router are Switch" directly means that while some routers are switches, there are definitely some routers that are NOT switches. Therefore, Conclusion I strictly and logically follows directly from Statement 1.
Conclusion II: Some Modem being Router is a possibility.
We know that "No Router is Hub" and "Some Modem are Hub". However, there is no direct negative statement or restriction between Modem and Router. The portion of Modem that is not Hub can freely overlap with Router without violating any of the given statements. Therefore, a possibility exists where some Modem are Router. Hence, Conclusion II logically follows as a valid possibility.
Since both Conclusion I and Conclusion II logically follow, the correct option is If both conclusions I and II follow.
