Statement: The bank is closed today. Conclusions: I. It is a public holiday. II. No banking transactions can be done at the branch. MCQ with Answer and Explanation
Statements:
1. All roses are flowers.
2. Some flowers are red.
Conclusions:
I. Some roses are red.
II. All red things are flowers.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
Roses are inside the flower circle, and the red circle intersects the flower circle. However, there's no guarantee the red circle intersects the rose circle specifically. Thus, I does not follow. II is a reversal of a 'some' statement, which is invalid.
Statement:
Consuming too much sugar leads to obesity and diabetes.
Conclusions:
I. Sugar should be completely banned.
II. People who consume less sugar are completely safe from diabetes.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The statement highlights the danger of 'too much' sugar, not sugar in general, making a total ban (I) an illogical extreme. Also, diabetes could be caused by genetics or other factors, so consuming less sugar does not guarantee 'complete safety' (II). Neither follows.
