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?
A. Only conclusion II follows
B. Neither I nor II follows
C. Both I and II follow
D. Only conclusion I follows
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
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.
Statement:
The price of petrol has increased globally; hence, inflation in the country will rise.
Conclusions:
I. Petrol prices directly impact inflation in the country.
II. The country imports petrol from the global market.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The statement draws a direct cause-and-effect link between global petrol prices and domestic inflation, making Conclusion I valid. Furthermore, this link implies the country's economy is tied to global petrol prices, which logically implies it imports or relies on global petrol (Conclusion II).
Statement: Since inequality is built in, wherever there is development there is little that can be done to arrest it except at the cost of development itself.
Conclusions:
I. To achieve development, inequality should be allowed to continue.
II. Equality and development do not go together.
Explanation:
Both conclusions follow from the statement. If arresting inequality comes at the cost of development, then to achieve development, inequality must be allowed (I). Also, it implies equality and development are not compatible (II).
