Question : Directions: In this question, three statements are given, followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follows/follow from the statements. Statements: I. All teas are coffees. II. All coffees are beverages. III. Some teas are drinks Conclusions: I. All teas are beverages. II. No drink is a coffee.
Option 1: Only conclusion I follows
Option 2: Only conclusion II follows
Option 3: Both conclusions I and II follow
Option 4: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): All teas are beverages – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing teas is completely inside the circle representing beverages. Thus, it can be concluded that all teas are beverages. Conclusion (II): No drink is a coffee – From the Venn diagram, there is no negative relation between drink and coffee. Thus, this conclusion doesn't follow.
So, the only conclusion I follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
