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 icicles are cycles. All cycles are men. Some icicles are men.
B. All girls are teeth. No teeth is yellow. No girls are yellow.
C. No hand is foot. Some foot are heads. Some hands are heads.
D. Every man has a wife. All wives are devoted. No devoted has a husband.

• A. A, B and C
• B. A and B
• C. C and B
• D. A, B, C and D

Hint:

In logical reasoning problems, check for contradictions and relationships that naturally follow from the previous statements.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let's break down the options:
- Option (A): "Some icicles are cycles. All cycles are men. Some icicles are men." This follows logically. If all cycles are men and some icicles are cycles, then some icicles must be men.
- Option (B): "All girls are teeth. No teeth is yellow. No girls are yellow." This is logically consistent based on the statements provided.
- Option (C): "No hand is foot. Some foot are heads. Some hands are heads." This does not logically follow. Just because some feet are heads, it does not imply that some hands are heads.
- Option (D): "Every man has a wife. All wives are devoted. No devoted has a husband." This creates a contradiction and is logically inconsistent.
Thus, the correct answer is (2) A and B as the third statement logically follows from the first two in these sets.
Thus, the correct sequence is A and B.
