Question

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements :
1. No mansion is a hut.
2. Some houses are buildings.
3. Some buildings are mansions.
Conclusions :
I. Some houses are mansions.
II. No house is a hut.
III. Some buildings are not huts.

• A. Only conclusion I follows
• B. Only conclusions I and II follow
• C. Only conclusion III follows
• D. None of the conclusions follow

Hint:

When reasoning about logical conclusions, make sure that each conclusion is directly supported by the facts in the statements without assuming additional information.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Statement 1 tells us that no mansion is a hut, but this does not tell us about the relationship between houses and huts. - Statement 2 tells us that some houses are buildings. - Statement 3 tells us that some buildings are mansions, but it doesn't imply that some houses are mansions. - Conclusion I is not necessarily true because not all houses are mansions. - Conclusion II follows as no house being a hut is logically deduced from the statements. - Conclusion III is true because it logically follows that some buildings are not huts based on the statements.
