Question

Identify the set of three statements that are logically related.
A. No spring is a season.
B. Some seasons are springs.
C. Some seasons are autumns.
D. No seasons are autumns.
E. Some springs are not autumns.
F. All springs are autumns.

• A. DFA
• B. BEF
• C. CEB
• D. DEB

Hint:

In syllogism grouping questions, the given set might contain statements that either align or contradict each other; your goal is to identify the set that is logically connected for testing.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

B — "Some seasons are springs." — This establishes a partial overlap between seasons and springs.
E — "Some springs are not autumns." — This is consistent with B if we consider springs as a subset of seasons and distinguish them from autumns.
F — "All springs are autumns." — At first glance, this seems contradictory to E, but in logical grouping questions, the three statements chosen may present possible premises and a conclusion in either a consistent or testable contradiction set. Here, BEF form a set related to the categorical relationship between seasons, springs, and autumns, where F and E are tested against B.
Thus, the intended grouping by the question setter is BEF.
