Given below are two statements, followed by three conclusions, I, II and III. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seems to be a variance with commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow(s) from the given statements. Statement I: All polymers are plastic. Statement 2: No rubber is plastic Conclusion I: Some polymers are rubber Conclusion II: Some plastics are polymer. Conclusion III: No polymer is rubber.

Given below are two statements, followed by three conclusions, I, II and III. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seems to be a variance with commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow(s) from the given statements. Statement I: All polymers are plastic. Statement 2: No rubber is plastic Conclusion I: Some polymers are rubber Conclusion II: Some plastics are polymer. Conclusion III: No polymer is rubber. Correct Answer Only conclusion II and III follow

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusion I: Some polymers are rubbers → False (as no plastic is rubber and all polymers are plastic, therefore, no polymer can be rubber; hence this is definitely false)

Conclusion II: Some plastics are polymers. → True (all polymers are plastic)

Conclusion III: No polymer is rubber. → True (as no plastic is rubber and all polymers are plastic)

Hence, only conclusion II and III follow.
