Read the given statements and conclusion 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: I. Some men are animals. II. All trees are rivers. III. All men are trees. Conclusion: I. Some men are rivers. II. All rivers are animals. III. All rivers are men. IV. Some men are trees. Correct Answer Only conclusion I and IV follows
The least possible Venn diagram is:
I. Some men are rivers. → True (As it is given all men are trees and all trees are rivers → Some men are rivers)
II. All rivers are animals. → False (It can be possible, but it is not definite. As some men are animals and all trees are rivers and all men are trees → Some rivers are animals))
III. All rivers are men. → False (As it is given all men are trees and all trees are rivers → Some rivers are men)
IV. Some men are trees. → True (As it is given all men are trees also means that some men are trees.
Hence, Only conclusion I and IV follows
