Question

Directions (Q:11-15): In each of the questions given below, two statements are followed by four conclusions numbered I, II, III and IV. You have to take both the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with the commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:       Some grapes are apples.

                        Some apples are bananas.

                        All bananas are guavas.

                        No guava is pomegranate.

Conclusions:       I. No grapes are pomegranates.

                         II. Some guavas are grapes.

                        III. Some guavas are apples.

                        IV. No bananas are pomegranates.

  • None follows
  • Only II and III follow
  • Either I or III follows
  • Both III and IV follow
  • Only I follows
Answer- D

Some grapes are apples + some apples are bananas = I + I = I = No conclusion

Hence we cannot move any further for grapes and this rules out I and II.

Some apples are bananas + All bananas are guavas = I + A =I=some apples are guavas.

Conversion is some guavas are apples. Hence III follows.

All bananas are guavas + No guava is pomegranate = A + E = E = No bananas are pomegranates.

Hence IV follows.
