In each of the questions below, some statements are given followed by some conclusions. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from 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: Some Giraffe is Kangaroo
All Turtle is Giraffe
All Seal is Kangaroo
Conclusions: I. Some Turtle is Kangaroo
II. All Giraffe can be Seal
Correct Answer :
If only II follows
Solution :
Correct Answer: If only II follows
Step-by-Step Explanation:
Let us analyze the given statements and evaluate each conclusion step-by-step.
1. Understanding the Given Statements:
• Statement 1: "Some Giraffe is Kangaroo" (Some G are K)
• Statement 2: "All Turtle is Giraffe" (All T are G)
• Statement 3: "All Seal is Kangaroo" (All S are K)
2. Evaluating Conclusion I: "Some Turtle is Kangaroo"
From Statement 2, we know that all Turtles are within the Giraffe group. From Statement 1, we know that some Giraffes overlap with Kangaroos. However, there is no direct or definite relationship given between Turtle and Kangaroo. The set of Turtles could be entirely separate from the set of Kangaroos while still being inside Giraffes.
Therefore, Conclusion I is not definite and does not follow.
3. Evaluating Conclusion II: "All Giraffe can be Seal"
Conclusion II is a possibility statement ("can be").
From Statement 3, "All Seal is Kangaroo", the set of Seals is entirely inside the set of Kangaroos. Statement 1 tells us that "Some Giraffe is Kangaroo".
There is no negative statement or restriction between Giraffe and Seal. Since there is no contradiction introduced by placing all Giraffes inside the Seal set (which in turn sits inside Kangaroo), a Venn diagram configuration where all Giraffes are Seals is completely valid and possible.
Therefore, Conclusion II expresses a valid possibility and follows.
Conclusion:
Only conclusion II logically follows from the given statements.
