Question

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow from the statements.
Statements:
1. All red is white.
2. All white is black.
Conclusions:
1. Some white is red.
2. Some black is red.
3. Some red is not black.
4. All black is white. ​​

A.

Only conclusions 1 and 4 follow.

B.

Only conclusions 1 and 3 follow.

C.

Only conclusions 1 and 2 follow.

D.

Only conclusions 2 and 4 follow.

Correct option is C

Statements:
1. All red is white.
2. All white is black.
From the given statements, the following Venn diagram can be -
Conclusions:
1. Some white is red - True (From the Venn diagram, some parts of the circle representing white lie inside the circle representing red while some lie outside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some white is red. Thus, this conclusion follows.)
2. Some black is red - True ​(From the Venn diagram, some parts of the circle representing black lie inside the circle representing red while some lie outside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some black is red. Thus, this conclusion follows.)
3. Some red is not black - False​ (From the Venn diagram, the circle representing red completely lies inside the circle representing black. So, from this, it can be concluded that all red is black. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.)
4. All black is white - False (From the Venn diagram, some parts of the circle representing black lie inside the circle representing white while some lie outside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some black is white. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.)
So, only conclusions 1 and 2 follow.
Thus, the correct answer is (c).
