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 conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some cards are postcards. Some cards are envelopes. All envelopes are copies. Conclusions: I. Some copies are envelopes. II. Some postcards are copies. III. Some cards are copies.
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 conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some cards are postcards. Some cards are envelopes. All envelopes are copies. Conclusions: I. Some copies are envelopes. II. Some postcards are copies. III. Some cards are copies. Correct Answer Only conclusions I and III follow
The least possible Venn diagram is:
Conclusions:
I. Some copies are envelopes → True (as all envelopes are copies, implies some copies are envelopes)
II. Some postcards are copies → False (it is possible but not definite as shown in the above figure that no postcard is copy is possible)
III. Some cards are copies → True (as some cards are envelopes and, all envelopes are copies, implies some cards are copies)
Hence, only conclusion I and III follow.Additional Information
