Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
Drawing Venn diagram based on the given Statements:
Conclusions:
I. Only a few Months are Calendars → Not True
Thus, Months and Calendars aren’t connected. Thus, conclusion I doesn’t follow.
II. All Days are Dates → True
The circle representing Days are fully inside the circle of Dates. Thus, it can be said that all Days are Dates. Thus, conclusion II follows.
Therefore, conclusion II follows. [Option B.]
2. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
Drawing Venn diagram based on the given Statements:
Conclusions:
I. No Breakfasts are Dinner → True
The circle representing Dinner is fully inside Supper. And there’s no relationship between Breakfast and Supper. Thus, no relationship between Breakfast and Dinner can be established as well.
So, conclusion I follows.
II. Only few Lunches are Supper → Not True
There’s no connection between Lunch and Supper. Thus, conclusion II doesn’t follow.
Therefore, only conclusion I follows. [Option A.]
3. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
Drawing Venn diagram based on the given Statements:
Conclusions:
I. Only a few Boys are Girls→ Not True
Boys and Girls aren’t connected and thus conclusion I doesn’t follow.
II. Only a few Boys are Strong→ Not True
Boys and Strong aren’t connected and thus conclusion II doesn’t follow.
Therefore, neither I nor II follows. [Option D.].
4. Answer - Option E
Explanation -
Drawing Venn diagram based on the given Statements:
Conclusions:
I. Some Blankets are being Chairs is a possibility→ True
Thus, table and bed are connected. So, conclusion I is true.
Though Blanket and Chairs aren’t connected, a relationship between them can be established as follows:
II. Some Tables are Beds→ True
Therefore, conclusion II follows. Thus, both conclusion I and II follow. [Option E.]
5. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
Drawing Venn diagram based on the given Statements:
Conclusions:
I. Some OTG are Coolers→ Not True
Thus, OTG and Coolers aren’t directly connected. Therefore, conclusion I doesn’t follow.
II. Some Toasters are Refrigerators→ True
Now, Toasters and Refrigerators are connected and thus conclusion II follows.
Therefore, only conclusion II follows. [Option B.]
