Study the following statements and conclusions carefully.
Statements:
• All Z are Y.
• No Y is X.
• Every X is W.
Conclusions:
• [I.] Some W are Z.
• [II.] Z are not X.
Options:
• All Z are Y.
• No Y is X.
• Every X is W.
Conclusions:
• [I.] Some W are Z.
• [II.] Z are not X.
Options:
Show Hint
- Only Conclusion I follows.
- Only Conclusion II follows.
- Both Conclusions I and II follow.
- Neither Conclusion I nor II follows.
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Analyse Conclusion II. Since all Z are inside Y and no Y is X, \[ Z \cap X=\phi \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Z are not X}} \] Conclusion II definitely follows.
Step 2: Analyse Conclusion I. We know: \[ X \subseteq W \] But nothing guarantees any overlap between W and Z. Therefore, Some W are Z cannot be concluded. Conclusion I does not follow. Hence only Conclusion II follows. \[ \boxed{\text{Answer = (B)}} \]

A research team is studying the effects of three different fertilizers (X, Y, and Z) on the growth of a specific plant species. They have four experimental plots with different fertilizer combinations: Plot 1: Fertilizer X only
Plot 2: Fertilizer Y only
Plot 3: Fertilizer X and Fertilizer Z only
Plot 4: Fertilizer Y and Fertilizer Z onlyAfter a period of observation, they note the following: \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{Plants in plots with Fertilizer X showed significantly increased height compared to a control group (no fertilizer).} \\ \bullet & \text{Plants in plots with Fertilizer Y showed a slightly increased leaf area compared to the control group.} \\ \bullet & \text{Plants in Plot 3 (X and Z) showed no significant difference in height compared to the control group.} \\ \bullet & \text{Plants in Plot 4 (Y and Z) showed significantly increased height compared to the control group.} \\ \end{array}\] Based on these observations, which of the following conclusions is best supported?
