Question

This question contains four arguments of three sentences each. Choose the set in which the third statement is a logical conclusion of the first two.

A. Some Xs are Ps. Some Ps are Ys. Some Xs are Ys.
B. All Sonas are bright. Some bright are crazy. Some Sonas are crazy.
C. No faith is strong. Only strong have biceps. No faith has biceps.
D. All men are weak. Some weak are strong. Some strong are weak.

• A. A and D
• B. C only
• C. D only
• D. None of these

Hint:

When solving logical deduction problems, look for direct relationships or contradictions between statements. In valid cases, the third statement will follow naturally from the first two.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let's analyze each set: - (A) The first two statements are about some elements belonging to different sets (Xs, Ps, and Ys). The third statement is a valid conclusion because it logically follows from the first two statements about shared elements between X, P, and Y. So this set is logically consistent. - (B) The first two statements are about Sonas and brightness. The third statement is a valid conclusion because it follows the relationship between the Sonas and brightness. - (C) The third statement, "No faith has biceps," is a direct conclusion from the first two statements. "No faith is strong" and "Only strong have biceps," so "no faith has biceps" is logically valid. - (D) The statements are contradictory. It is impossible for weak to be strong and strong to be weak simultaneously. Hence, this set is not valid. Thus, the correct answer is (C only). Thus, the correct sequence is C only.
