In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion logically follows the given statements. A + B means “some A are B”. A & B means “all A are B”. A @ B means “some A are not B”. A % B means “no A is B”. Statements: Roses + pans Pans @ rings Cats & rings Ring % bat Conclusions: I. Cats & pans is a possibility II. Roses @ rings III. Cat % bat IV. Rose % cat

In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion logically follows the given statements. A + B means “some A are B”. A & B means “all A are B”. A @ B means “some A are not B”. A % B means “no A is B”. Statements: Roses + pans Pans @ rings Cats & rings Ring % bat Conclusions: I. Cats & pans is a possibility II. Roses @ rings III. Cat % bat IV. Rose % cat Correct Answer Both conclusion I and III follow

Statements:

Roses + pans means some roses are pans.

Pans @ rings means some pans are not rings.

Cats & rings means all cats are rings.

Ring % bat means no ring is a bat.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is as shown:

Conclusions:

I. Cats & pans is a possibility means all cats being pans is a possibility → The possibility can be true.

II. Roses @ rings means some roses are not rings → It is possible but not definite in least possible Venn diagram. Hence, it is false.

III. Cat % bat means no cat is a bat → It is definite in least possible Venn diagram. Hence, it is true.

IV. Rose % cat means no rose is a cat → It is possible but not definite in least possible Venn diagram. Hence, it is false.

Hence, conclusions I and III follow.
