Two statements are given followed by a conclusion. Decide whether the conclusion is true or false with respect to the statements. Statements: 1. All that glitters is not gold. 2. Gold is glittery. Conclusion: Whatever glitters is other than gold. Correct Answer The conclusion is definitely false.

The statements produce two key points -

  • Everything that glitters is not gold, which means that just because something is glittery, it will not be called as gold. It may be something else that glitters. Thus, the quality of glittering is not the only aspect that will mark a substance as gold.
  • Statement 2 clarifies that gold is a glittery substance.

Thus, any substance that glitters may or may not be gold.

  • Therefore, the conclusion is definitely false.

Hence the correct answer is option 1.
