In the following question two statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Consider the two given statements to be. True even if they seem to be absurd. Mark answer as
Statements : No coin is a dollar. Red token is a coin.
Conclusions :
I. Red token is not a dollar.
II. Red token may not be a dollar.
Statements : No coin is a dollar. Red token is a coin.
Conclusions :
I. Red token is not a dollar.
II. Red token may not be a dollar.
- if only conclusion II follows
- if only conclusion I follows
- if either conclusion I or II follows
if neither conclusion I nor II follows
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
- No coin is a dollar.
- Red token is a coin.
- Conclusion I: Red token is not a dollar.
The statement "Red token is a coin" combined with "No coin is a dollar" allows us to deduce by direct extension that the "Red token is not a dollar." Thus, Conclusion I logically follows from the statements. - Conclusion II: Red token may not be a dollar.
This conclusion suggests a possibility, which does not necessarily follow from the statements since Conclusion I already asserts definitively that the red token, being a coin, definitely cannot be a dollar. Therefore, this conclusion is redundant and weak compared to the direct conclusion drawn earlier.
