Directions :(Q. 1-6)
1) c 2) d 3) c 4) e 5) b 6) e
7) Answer: c)
All visitors arc hosts (A) + All hosts are guests (A) = A + A= A= All visitors are guests.
Now, Some visitors arc invitees (I) àconversion àSome invitees are visitors (I) + All visitors are guests (A) = I +A= I = Some invitees are guests (I) àconversion Some guests are invitees (I). Hence conclusion I follows. And the possibility in II also exists. Thus, conclusion II also follows
8) Answer: d)
Some instruments are devices (I) + All devices are tools (A) = I + A = I = Some instruments are tools (I)àconversion -àSome tools are instruments (I). Hence conclusion I follows.
Again, All gadgets are instruments (A) + Some instruments are tools (I) = A + I = No conclusion. But the possibility in II exists. Hence conclusion II follows.
9) Answer: a)
All visitors are hosts (A) + All hosts are guests (A) = A+ A = A= All visitors are guests (A).
Hence conclusion I does not follow.
Again, All visitors are hosts (A) àconversion àSome hosts are visitors (I). Hence conclusion II also does not follow.
10) Answer: d)
No cup is a medal (E) + All medals are trophies (A) = E + A = 0* = Some trophies are not cups (0*). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
Again, All medals are trophies (A) + No trophy is a shield (E) = A + E = E = No medal is a shield (E).
Now, No cup is a medal (E) + No medal is a shield (E) = E + E = No conclusion. But the possibility in I exists. Hence conclusion I follows.
11) Answer: d)
All medals are trophies (A) + No trophy is a shield (E) = A + E = E = No medal is a shield (E). Hence conclusion II follows. Again, All medals are trophies (A) à conversion à Some trophies are medals (I). Hence conclusion I does not follow.
