Q1: Statements: Some towels are brushes. No brush is soap. All soaps are rats.
Conclusions:
A
None follows
B
Only either I or II follows
C
Only II follows
D
Only I and III follow
E
None of these
ANS:B - Only either I or II follows Explanation: Some towels are brushes. No brush is soap. Since one premise is particular and the other negative, the conclusion must be particular negative (O-type) and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some towels are not soaps'. No brush is soap. All soaps are rats. Since the middle term is distributed twice, the conclusion must be particular. Since one premise is negative, the conclusion must be negative. So, it follows that 'Some brushes are not rats'. Since I and II involve the same terms and form a complementary pair, so either I or II follows. |
