Question

Statement 1: All engineers are good at problem-solving.
Statement 2: Some problem-solvers are good at coding.
Conclusion: Some engineers are good at coding.
Which of the following is correct?

• A. Conclusion is true.
• B. Conclusion is false.
• C. Conclusion cannot be determined.
• D. Both the statements are unrelated.

Hint:

In syllogism problems, ensure that the conclusion is directly supported by the statements. If there is no direct connection or missing information, the conclusion cannot be confirmed.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the statements.
- Statement 1: "All engineers are good at problem-solving" tells us that engineers are problem-solvers. - Statement 2: "Some problem-solvers are good at coding" tells us that some problem-solvers, not necessarily all, are good at coding. Step 2: Analyzing the conclusion.
The conclusion states that "Some engineers are good at coding." However, while all engineers are problem-solvers, it is not given that those problem-solvers are good at coding. The statements do not directly imply that engineers, in particular, are good at coding.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The conclusion cannot be definitively determined from the given statements. Therefore, the correct answer is (C) Conclusion cannot be determined.
