In this question, three statements are given followed by two conclusions. Choose the conclusion(s) which best fit(s) logically.
Statements:
1) Some soccer are shoes.
2) Some shoes are covers.
3) All covers are plastics.
Conclusions:
I. Some plastics are shoes.
II. Some soccer are plastics.
-
A.
Neither conclusion I nor II follows
-
B.
Only conclusion II follows
-
C.
Both conclusions I and II follow
-
D.
Only conclusion I follows
Correct Answer:
D. Only conclusion I follows
Explanation:
Based on the statements provided, we can evaluate the conclusions using a Venn diagram approach:1. Relationship between Shoes and Plastics: The second statement tells us that some shoes are covers, and the third statement confirms that all covers are plastics. Therefore, the portion of shoes that are covers must also be plastics. This validates Conclusion I: Some plastics are shoes. 2. Relationship between Soccer and Plastics: We know some soccer are shoes and some shoes are covers (which are plastics). However, there is no direct or necessary connection established between the soccer category and the covers/plastics category. Since they might be entirely separate, Conclusion II (Some soccer are plastics) does not necessarily follow.Conclusion I is the only logical deduction.
