Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusion(s) logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements: All ovals are bins. No bin is a car. No bin is a plum.
Conclusions: (I): No oval is a car. (II): Some plums are cars.
-
A.
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.
-
B.
Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.
-
C.
Only conclusion (II) follows.
-
D.
Only conclusion (I) follows.
Correct Answer:
D. Only conclusion (I) follows.
Explanation:
The logical reasoning for the given statements confirms that since all ovals are contained within the category of bins, and no bin is a car, it follows that no oval can be a car. However, there is no information provided to establish a relationship between plums and cars, so the second conclusion cannot be verified. Therefore, only conclusion (I) logically follows.
