Question

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information in the statements is true, even if they appear to contradict common knowledge, determine which of the conclusions logically follow(s).

Statements:

  1. Some mangoes are apples.

  2. All apples are bananas.

Conclusions:
I. All bananas are apples.
II. All mangoes are bananas.

A.

Only Conclusion I follows

B.

Only Conclusion II follows

C.

Neither of the conclusions follows

D.

Both Conclusion I and II follow

Correct option is C

Ans. (c)

Sol.

  • Conclusion I: “All bananas are apples”
    → This is the reverse of statement 2 (“All apples are bananas”), and logically, the reverse of a universal affirmative statement (A-type) is not always true.
    Does not follow.

  • Conclusion II: “All mangoes are bananas”
    → Statement 1 only says some mangoes are apples, and we know all apples are bananas, but that doesn't mean all mangoes are bananas.
    Does not follow.

Hence, neither conclusion follows.
