Statements:
1. Some shirts are pants.
2. Some pants are ties.
Conclusions:
I. Some shirts are ties.
II. Some ties are shirts.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Neither I nor II follows
B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Both I and II follow
D. Only conclusion I follows
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The relationship 'some' does not chain logically. The shirts that are pants are not necessarily the pants that are ties. No relation can be established between shirts and ties. Therefore, neither conclusion follows.
Statements:
1. All trees are forests.
2. No forest is a desert.
Conclusions:
I. No tree is a desert.
II. Some forests are trees.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
If all trees are within the forest category, and the forest category has no overlap with the desert category, then no tree can be a desert (Conclusion I). Since all trees are forests, it is true that some forests (the ones made up of those trees) are trees (Conclusion II).
