- Question
- Statement:
All pins are rods. Some rods are chains. All chains are hammers.
Conclusions:
I. Some pins are hammers.
II. Some hammers are rods
III. No pin is hammer.
Options- A. Only I follows
- B. Only II follows
- C. Only III follows
- D. Only either I or III & II follows
- Correct Answer
- Only either I or III & II follows
ExplanationAll pins are rods + Some rods are chains = A + I = No conclusion Hence I and II does not follow. However, the two a complementary I-E pair, Hence either I or III follows. Some rods are chains + All chains are Hammers = I + A + I = Some rods are hammers ? conversion ? Some hammers are rods (I). Hence III follows.
- 1. In this question, a word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabet as in two matrices given below. The columns and rows of Matrix I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix II are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, e.g., 'A' can be represented by 04, 12, etc., and 'R' can be represented by 55, 67, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word 'B E N T'.

Correct Answer: None follows
Explanation:
I-type statements can't be combined.
Correct Answer: Only I and III follows
Explanation:
All buckets are tubs(A) ? conversion ? Some tubs are buckets (I) Hence II does not follow. All buckets are tubs + All tubs are drums A + A = A = All buckets are drums ? conversion ? Some drums are buckets + All buckets are drums = A + A + I + = Some drums are pots(I). Hence II follows.
Correct Answer: Only either I or III follows
Explanation:
All pins are bags (A) ? conversion ? Some bags are pins (I). All needles are bags + Some bags are pins = A + I = No conclusion Hence I and III do not follow by combination. However, they from an complementary E-I pair, either I or III follows. Again, All chalks are bags + conversion of all needles are bags = A + I = No conclusion Hence II do not follow.
Correct Answer: None follows
Explanation:
Some buses are trucks + Some trucks are boats = I + I = No conclusion Hence II and consequently do not follow Some trucks are boats + No boat is jeep = I + E = O = Some trucks are not jeeps. Hence III does not follow.
Correct Answer: Only II and III follows
Explanation:
All flowers are trees + All trees are jungles = A + A = A = All flowers are jungles ? conversion ? Some jungles are flowers Hence III follows. All trees are jungle + No jungle is hill = A + E = E = No tree is hill. Hence III follows. All flowers are trees + No tree is hill. Hence II follows. All flowers are trees + No tree is hill = A + E = E = No flower is hill. Hence I follows.
