Question and options
Some statements are given followed by four conclusions. Find out which of the conclusions logically follow from the given statements.
Statements: Some men are goats. All goats are jackals.
Conclusions:
I. Some men are jackals
II. Some jackals are men
III. All jackals are goats
IV. Some goats are men
Conclusions:
I. Some men are jackals
II. Some jackals are men
III. All jackals are goats
IV. Some goats are men
- Only I and II follow
- Only III and IV follow
- Only I, II and IV follow
- All follow
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Only I, II and IV follow
Some men are goats and all goats are jackals, so some men are jackals (I) and conversely some jackals are men (II); 'some men are goats' converts to 'some goats are men' (IV). 'All goats are jackals' does not give 'all jackals are goats' (III). So only I, II and IV follow.
