Question

Given below are two statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the two given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts-
Statements :
All industrialists are inventors. All inventors are pioneers.
Conclusions :
I. Some pioneers are industrialists
II. Some pioneers are inventors.

• A. only conclusion I follows
• B. only conclusion II follows
• C. either I or II follows
• D. neither I nor II follows
• E. both I and II follow.

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Conclusion I: "Some pioneers are industrialists."
From the first statement, we know that all industrialists are inventors, and from the second statement, we know that all inventors are pioneers. This implies that all industrialists are also pioneers (since all inventors are pioneers). Therefore, it is correct to conclude that some pioneers are industrialists because all industrialists are part of the pioneer group.
Conclusion II: "Some pioneers are inventors."
The second statement explicitly says that all inventors are pioneers. Since all inventors belong to the pioneer group, it logically follows that some pioneers are inventors. This is because "some" refers to at least part of the group, and in this case, inventors are a subset of pioneers.
Thus, both conclusions logically follow from the given statements. Therefore, the correct answer is:(5) if both I and II follow.
The Correct option is(E)
