Statement: The glass is half full. Conclusions: I. The glass contains some liquid. II. The glass is exactly half empty. MCQ with Answer and Explanation
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.
Statements:
1. Some shirts are pants.
2. Some pants are ties.
Conclusions:
I. Some shirts are ties.
II. Some ties are shirts.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The relationship 'some' does not chain logically. The shirts that are pants are not necessarily the pants that are ties. No relation can be established between shirts and ties. Therefore, neither conclusion follows.
