Question

The following question is given by 2 statements and 2 conclusions numbered I and II. Choose the right answer from given option.
Statements:
All huts are bunglows.
All bunglows are churches.
Conclusions:
I. Some churches are huts.
II. Some churches are mansions.

• A. If only conclusion I follows.
• B. If only conclusion II follows.
• C. If either conclusion I or II follows.
• D. If both conclusion I and II follow.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let's analyze the given statements and conclusions to determine the correct logical outcome. We will use syllogistic reasoning, which is often employed in logical reasoning questions.

Given Statements:

• All huts are bungalows.
• All bungalows are churches.

Conclusions:

• I. Some churches are huts.
• II. Some churches are mansions.

Analysis:

1. From the first statement "All huts are bungalows", we can infer that if something is a hut, it is necessarily a bungalow.
2. From the second statement "All bungalows are churches", it follows that if something is a bungalow, it is also a church.
3. Combining the above two statements, "All huts are churches" can be concluded because hut → bungalow → church. Therefore, some churches (even all) are indeed huts.
4. Conclusion I, "Some churches are huts," follows because we have already established that all huts are churches. Therefore, at least some churches must also be huts.
5. Conclusion II states, "Some churches are mansions." There is no mention of mansions in the given statements. Thus, this conclusion cannot be derived from the given premises without further information.

Conclusion:

Since we can establish that some churches are huts from the given statements, Conclusion I follows. Conclusion II requires information not provided in the statements and thus does not follow.

Correct Answer:

The correct answer is: If only conclusion I follows.
