Question and options
Two statements are given followed by two conclusions. The statements have to be taken to be true, even if they are at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the conclusion(s) logically follows from the given statements.
Statements:
(i) No wish is a demand.
(ii) All wishes are claims.
Conclusions:
1. No demand is a claim.
2. All claims are wishes.
(i) No wish is a demand.
(ii) All wishes are claims.
Conclusions:
1. No demand is a claim.
2. All claims are wishes.
- Only 1 follows
- Only 2 follows
- Both conclusions follow
- Neither conclusion follows
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Neither conclusion follows
No wish is a demand and all wishes are claims gives 'some claims are not demands', but not 'no demand is a claim' (demands may be claims outside wishes); 'all claims are wishes' illicitly converts statement (ii). Neither.
