For Q(18-23):
Q18:
Answer: Option E
Q19:
Answer: Option D
Q20:
Answer: Option D
Q21:
Answer: Option B
Q22:
Answer: Option E
Q23:
Answer: Option D
Q24:
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
All institutes are academic. All academics are schools = A + A = A = All institute are schools. Hence I does not follow. Some institute are banks (I) → conversion → Some banks are institute (I) + All institutes are academics = I + A =\ I = Some banks are academics. Hence the possibility of II exists.
Q25:
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Some banks are academics = All academics are schools = I + A = I Some banks are schools. This does not lead us to I. II follows because All institutes are school.
Q26:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
No force is torque + All torques are powers = E + A = O* = Some powers are not forces. Hence the possibility of II is ruled out. All energies are forces + No force is torque = A + E = E = No energy is torque + All torques are powers = E + A = O* = Some powers are not energies. This does not rule out the possibility of I.
Q27:
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
It follows from the solution to the above question. But I does not follow unless we know that All forces are energies.
Q28:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
The possibilities exit because we don’t have any negative statements.
Q29:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
No gadget is a machine + All machines are computer = E + A = Q* = Some computers are not gadget. This rules out the possibility of II. As for I, it many be true but we can’t say so with certainty.
Q30:
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
There being no negative statements, the possibility (conclusion II) exists but not certainty (conclusion I).
