Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and decide which conclusion(s) logically follow(s) from the given statements. Statements: Some pulses are flours. All biscuits are curds. All biscuits are flours. Conclusions: (I) All flours are curds. (II) Some biscuits are pulses.
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.
Only conclusion (I) follows.
Only conclusion (II) follows.
Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.
Visualize Venn diagrams: Since all biscuits are inside flours, and some flours are pulses, there is no direct link forced between biscuits and pulses; also, nothing indicates the entire flour circle is contained within the curds circle.
Visualize Venn diagrams: Since all biscuits are inside flours, and some flours are pulses, there is no direct link forced between biscuits and pulses; also, nothing indicates the entire flour circle is contained within the curds circle.
Analyze Statement Relationships
Statements: (1) Some pulses are flours. (2) All biscuits are curds. (3) All biscuits are flours. From (2) and (3), we know biscuits are a subset of both curds and flours, meaning some curds are flours.
Evaluate Conclusion (I)
Conclusion (I): 'All flours are curds.' We know 'All biscuits are flours' and 'All biscuits are curds'. This only implies that some flours are curds (those that are biscuits). It does not mean ALL flours are curds. Therefore, (I) does not follow.
Evaluate Conclusion (II)
Conclusion (II): 'Some biscuits are pulses.' The statements link biscuits to flours and curds, and pulses to flours. There is no information linking biscuits directly to pulses. Therefore, (II) does not follow.
B: Incorrect, as Conclusion (I) is not supported. C: Incorrect, as Conclusion (II) is not supported. D: Incorrect, as neither conclusion is logically necessitated by the premises.
A is correct because neither conclusion is logically valid based on the provided statements.
In Syllogism questions, if a relationship cannot be strictly proven from the provided statements, the conclusion is considered false regardless of real-world probability.
