Statement: No dogs are allowed in the mall. Conclusions: I. Security guards check for dogs. II. This rule applies to all visitors. MCQ with Answer and Explanation
Statement:
Consuming too much sugar leads to obesity and diabetes.
Conclusions:
I. Sugar should be completely banned.
II. People who consume less sugar are completely safe from diabetes.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The statement highlights the danger of 'too much' sugar, not sugar in general, making a total ban (I) an illogical extreme. Also, diabetes could be caused by genetics or other factors, so consuming less sugar does not guarantee 'complete safety' (II). Neither follows.
Explanation:
I is too absolute. II contradicts the statement; 'children love ice cream' as a general statement doesn't allow 'some may dislike' if it's a universal claim. If it's taken as all children, then II contradicts; if it's a generic statement, II still cannot be deduced. Typically in reasoning, such a statement means 'all children', so II does not follow. Neither follows.
