Question

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.

• A. if only conclusion II follows
• B. if only conclusion I follows
• C. if either conclusion I or II follows
• D. if neither conclusion I nor II follows

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine which conclusions follow from the given statements, let's analyze the information logically. The statements provided are:

1. No coin is a dollar.
2. Red token is a coin.

Based on these statements, let's evaluate each conclusion:

1. 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.
2. 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.

Based on this analysis, only Conclusion I follows logically from the given statements, which means the correct option is:

if only conclusion I follows
