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 from the statements: Statements: 1. Some papers are copies 2. No copy is an eraser. Conclusions: I. Some copies are papers II. Some papers are erasers. III. No paper is an eraser.
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 from the statements: Statements: 1. Some papers are copies 2. No copy is an eraser. Conclusions: I. Some copies are papers II. Some papers are erasers. III. No paper is an eraser. Correct Answer Only conclusion I and either conclusion II or III follow.
The logical Venn diagram according to given statements is,
Conclusions:
I. Some copies are papers → True (Some papers are copies)
II. Some papers are erasers. → False (it is possible but not definite)
III. No paper is an eraser. → False (it is possible but not definite)
Thus, II and III form a complementary pair.
Therefore, only conclusion I and either conclusion II or III follows.
Hence, option 3 is correct answer.
