Explanation:
© , @ and ★.
Q8:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Conclusions I and III make a complementary pair. Hence, either I or III follows. Conclusion II does not follow since “No train is a dog” (E) + “All dogs are parrots” (A) gives the conclusion “Some parrots are not trains” [Q E + A O ★]. Conclusion IV does not follow because “Some buses are trains” + “No train is a dog” gives the conclusion “Some buses are not
dogs[∴ I + E = O].
Q9:
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
“Some flowers are boxes” (I) + “All boxes are tigers” (A) gives conclusion “Some flowers are tigers” (I)[∴ I + A = I]. On conversion, we get “some tigers are flowers”. Hence, conclusion II follows but IV does not follow. “Some cups are flowers” (I) + “Some flowers are boxes” (I) gives no conclusion [∴ I + I= No conclusion]. Hence, III does not follow. No relation is given between tigers and cups and hence, I does not follow.
Q10:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
“Some cats are lions” (I) + “All lions are hares” (A) ⇒ “Some cats are hares” (I) [∴ I + A = I]. Hence,
conclusion IV follows. Conversion of conclusion IV gives conclusion III. Now, conclusion IV + “All hares are horses" (A) gives conclusion I [∴ I + A = I]. “All lions are hares" (A) + "All hares are horses" (A) gives conclusion "All lions are horses" (A) [∴ A + A = A].
Now, "All lions are horses" implies "Some horses are lions." Hence, conclusion II also follows.

Explanation:

Q15:
Answer: Option C
Q16:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
(a) "rem tur dimi wee" ⇒ "my pencil was stolen".
(b) "soz rem legh ner" ⇒ "your pencil is here".
(c) "rem zet tur legh" ⇒ "blue pencil was here".
(d) "dimi rem tur soz" ⇒ "your pencil was stolen".
Thus from (b) and (c), we get "rem legh" ⇒ pencil here" (though not necessarily in the same order.) Further, from (a), (b), (c) & (d) together, we get "rem" ⇒ "pencil". Hence, we get, "legh" ⇒ "here".
Q17:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
(a) We have, "rem" ⇒ "pencil". Now, from (c) & (d), we get "tur" ⇒ "was" and hence (since "legh"⇒ "here"), we get, "zet" ⇒ "blue". Now, from (a) and(d), we get, "rem tur dimi" ⇒ "pencil was stolen". Hence, we get, "dimi"⇒ "stolen". Now, from (d), we get, "soz" ⇒ "your". Hence, from (b), we get, "ner" ⇒ "is".
Thus, "zet rem ner dimi" ⇒ "blue pencil is stolen".
