Question

All Architects are Visionary. Some Visionary people are Designers. No Designer is a Lawyer. Which of the following conclusion necessarily follows?
I. Some Visionary people are not Lawyers.
II. Some Architects are Designers.
III. All Designers are Visionary.
Select the most appropriate option:

• A. I and III follow
• B. Only I follows
• C. Only III follows
• D. I and II follow

Hint:

For syllogisms, carefully distinguish “all,” “some,” and “no” statements. Only logically certain conclusions are valid.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Analyze statements —
All Architects ⊆ Visionary
Some Visionary ⊆ Designers
No Designer ⊆ Lawyer
Step 2: Evaluate conclusions —
I. Some Visionary are not Lawyers → True, as Designers (who are Visionary) are not Lawyers.
II. Some Architects are Designers → Not necessarily true; no direct connection between Architects and Designers.
III. All Designers are Visionary → Not necessarily true; only some Visionary are Designers.
Step 3: Conclusion — Only I follows.
