Question

Statement: No table is a chair. Not a single chair is a stand. Every stand is a statue. 

Conclusion: 1. Some statues which are stands are tables as well. 2. Some statues are not chairs.

• A. If neither conclusion 1 nor 2 follows
• B. If only conclusion 1 follows
• C. If only conclusion 2 follows
• D. None of these

Hint:

In logical reasoning, carefully break down the given statements and evaluate each conclusion step by step.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let's evaluate the conclusions based on the given statements:
Conclusion 1: "Some statues which are stands are tables as well." This is incorrect because we are told that no table is a chair, and no chair is a stand, so no statue that is a stand can also be a table. Therefore, conclusion 1 does not follow.
Conclusion 2: "Some statues are not chairs." This is correct because every stand is a statue, and no chair is a stand. So, some statues (the ones that are stands) are not chairs. Therefore, conclusion 2 follows.
Thus, the correct answer is (c) If only conclusion 2 follows.
