Question

Two statements are given followed by a conclusion. Decide whether the conclusion is true or false with respect to the statements
Statements:
1. All that glitters is not gold.
2. Gold is glittery.
Conclusion:
Whatever glitters is other than gold.

A.

The conclusion is probably false.

B.

The conclusion is definitely true.

C.

The conclusion is definitely false.

D.

The conclusion is probably true.

Correct option is C

Solution:

Let us analyze the statements and the conclusion:

The conclusion claims that "Whatever glitters is other than gold." This is contradicted by Statement 2, which explicitly states that gold is glittery. Therefore, the conclusion directly conflicts with the given information and is definitely false.

  1. Statement 1 means that not everything that glitters is gold. It implies that some things glitter but are not gold, but it does not exclude gold from glittering.
  2. Statement 2 states that gold is glittery, affirming that gold does glitter.
