Statements:
1. All water is liquid.
2. Some ice is water.
Conclusions:
I. Some ice is liquid.
II. All ice is liquid.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion II follows
B. Only conclusion I follows
C. Neither I nor II follows
D. Both I and II follow
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The part of ice that is water must also be liquid because all water is liquid. Therefore, some ice is liquid (Conclusion I). We do not know about all ice, so Conclusion II does not necessarily follow.
Statement:
Reading books improves vocabulary and enhances imagination.
Conclusions:
I. People who do not read books have poor vocabulary.
II. A person with a good imagination definitely reads books.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The statement identifies reading as one way to improve vocabulary and imagination. It does not state it is the *only* way. People might improve vocabulary or imagination through other means. Therefore, neither conclusion strictly follows.
