Question
The question given below comprises two statements followed by four conclusions numbered. I, II, III and IV. You have to assume both the statements are correct, even if they differ from universally known facts. Go through all the conclusions and then ignoring the universally known facts ascertain as to which of the given conclusions can logically come up from the given statements. Statements- Some papers are balls. Ball is not spherical. Conclusions- I. Some papers are sphericalII. Some balls are spherical. III. Some papers are not spherical. IV. Some balls are papers.
Solution
Based on the given statements, we can draw the following conclusions:
I. Some papers are spherical - We cannot ascertain this conclusion as the shape of papers is not mentioned in the statements.
II. Some balls are spherical - This conclusion is incorrect as it is clearly stated in the statements that "Ball is not spherical."
III. Some papers are not spherical - This conclusion could be true, but we cannot ascertain it based on the given statements as the shape of papers is not mentioned.
IV. Some balls are papers - This conclusion is correct as it is stated in the statements that "Some papers are balls."
So, the only conclusion that can be logically drawn from the given statements is IV. Some balls are papers.
