Statements:
1. All trees are forests.
2. No forest is a desert.
Conclusions:
I. No tree is a desert.
II. Some forests are trees.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Neither I nor II follows
B. Only conclusion I follows
C. Both I and II follow
D. Only conclusion II follows
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
If all trees are within the forest category, and the forest category has no overlap with the desert category, then no tree can be a desert (Conclusion I). Since all trees are forests, it is true that some forests (the ones made up of those trees) are trees (Conclusion II).
Statement:
The literacy rate in the state has increased by 15% over the last decade due to government initiatives.
Conclusions:
I. The government's initiatives were effective in promoting education.
II. The state had a very low literacy rate ten years ago.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The statement directly attributes the increase to government initiatives, meaning they were effective (I). However, an increase of 15% doesn't tell us the starting point; it could have increased from 70% to 85%, which is not 'very low'. Thus, II does not follow.
