Question

Given below are two statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assume the statements to be true even if they show variance from your own experience. Decide which conclusion logically follows from the two statements.
Some nurses are nuns.
Maya is a nun.
I. Some nuns are nurses.
II. Some nurses are not nuns

• A. If only conclusion I follows.
• B. If only conclusion II follows.
• C. If either of the conclusions follows.
• D. If neither of the conclusions follows.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The venn diagram for above statements is

Conclusions : I. Some nuns are nurses = true II. Some nurses are not nuns = may or may not be true (depending on first). Thus, either conclusion I or II follows.
The correct answer is (C): If either of the conclusions follows.
