Two statements are given, followed by four conclusions numbered I, II, III, IV. 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: 1. No watch is a cell. 2. All cells are pendulums. Conclusions: I. No watch is a pendulum. II. No pendulum is a watch. III. Some pendulums are cells. IV. All pendulums are cells

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: 1. No watch is a cell. 2. All cells are pendulums. Conclusions: I. No watch is a pendulum. II. No pendulum is a watch. III. Some pendulums are cells. IV. All pendulums are cells Correct Answer Only conclusion III follows

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follow:

Conclusions:

I. No watch is a pendulum → False (As, watch and cell have direct relation but no direct relation with pendulum. So, the part of the cell that is pendulum is not watch and rest part of the pendulum is not considered).

II. No pendulum is a watch → False ( As only the part of the cell which is pendulum is not watch rest part have no relation)

III. Some pendulum are cells → True (As It clearly visible some part of cell are pendulum).

IV. All pendulum are cells → False (As Some part of the cell is pendulum but not all part is considered as pendulum)

Hence, "Only conclusion III follows".
