Question
Select the correct answerIn those questions, Three/Two statements are given followed by for conclusions. One of which definitely does not follow from the given statements. That conclusion is your answer. You have to take the three/two givens statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and then decide which of the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.Statements:All bags are pursesNo purse is blackAll blacks are beautifulConclusions:Some bags being black is a possibilityA least some purses are bagsAll purses being beautiful is a possibilitySome bags are not blackOptionsOnly I and III does not followOnly III does not followNone of these.Only I and II does not followOnly II and IV does not follow
Solution
The correct answer is "Only I and III does not follow".
Here's the step by step reasoning:
Statement 1: All bags are purses. This means that every bag is a purse, so conclusion II "At least some purses are bags" follows.
Statement 2: No purse is black. This means that there is no possibility of a bag (which is a purse) being black. So, conclusion I "Some bags being black is a possibility" does not follow. Also, conclusion IV "Some bags are not black" follows because no bag can be black.
Statement 3: All blacks are beautiful. This statement does not affect the conclusions because it does not involve bags or purses.
Conclusion III "All purses being beautiful is a possibility" does not follow because not all purses are black and only blacks are beautiful.
So, the conclusions that do not follow are I and III.
