Question and options
Read the given statement(s) 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(s) from the statement(s).
Statements: Some mirrors are angles. All ellipses are angles.
Conclusions (I): Some ellipses are mirrors
Conclusions (II): All angles are ellipses
Statements: Some mirrors are angles. All ellipses are angles.
Conclusions (I): Some ellipses are mirrors
Conclusions (II): All angles are ellipses
- Only conclusion (II) follows
- Only conclusion (I) follows
- Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow
- Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows
Mirrors and ellipses both overlap with angles, but no definite link exists between mirrors and ellipses, so I does not follow. All ellipses are angles cannot be converted to all angles are ellipses, so II does not follow.
