Given below are two premises ((a) and (b)). From those two premises four conclusions (i), (ii), (iii) & (iv) are drawn. Select the code that states the conclusions validly drawn from the premises (taking singly or jointly.) Premises : (a) Untouchability is a curse. (b) All hot pans are untouchable. Conclusions : (i) All hot pans are curse. (ii) Some untouchable things are hot pans. (iii) All curses are untouchability. (iv) Some curses are untouchability. Correct Answer (i) and (ii)

(i) All hot pans are curse. → True (As All hot pans are untouchable and Untouchability is a curse → so, all hot pans being untouchable are a curse)

(ii) Some untouchable things are hot pans. → True (As All hot pans are untouchable → so some hot things are untouchable)

(iii) All curses are untouchability. → False (As, Untouchability is a curse → but the statement does not confirms that all curses are untouchability. There is no statement given to support the reverse of the statement)  

(iv) Some curses are untouchability. → False (As, Untouchability is a curse → but the statement does not confirms that some curses are untouchability. There is no statement given to support the reverse of the statement)

Hence, ‘(i) and (ii)’ is the correct answer.
