A
Only conclusion I follows

B
Only conclusion II follows

C

Statements: All mangoes are golden in colour. No golden-coloured things are cheap.

Conclusions:
I. All mangoes are cheap.
II. Golden-coloured mangoes are not cheap.

A
Only conclusion I follows

B
Only conclusion II follows

C
Either I or II follows

D
Neither I nor II follows

E
Both I and II follow

Solution

Clearly, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'No mango is cheap'. Since all mangoes are golden in colour, we may substitute 'mangoes' with 'golden-coloured mangoes'. Thus, II follows.

A
Only conclusion I follows

B

Since both the premises are particular, no definite conclusion follows.
Question 4

Statements: All roads are waters. Some waters are boats.

Conclusions:
I. Some boats are roads.
II. All waters are boats.

A
Only conclusion I follows

B
Only conclusion II follows

C
Either I or II follows

D
Neither I nor II follows

E
Both I and II follow

Solution

The first premise is A type and distributes the subject. So, the middle term 'waters' which forms its predicate, is not distributed. The second premise is I type and does not distribute either subject or predicate. So, the middle term 'waters' forming its subject is not distributed. Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows.

Statements: All flowers are trees. No fruit is tree.

Conclusions:
I. No fruit is flower.
II. Some trees are flowers.

A
Only conclusion I follows

B
Only conclusion II follows

C
Either I or II follows

D
Neither I nor II follows

E
Both I and II follow

Solution

As discussed above, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'No flower is fruit'. I is the converse of this conclusion and thus it follows. II is the converse of the first premise and so it also holds.
Question 6

You have to take the given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts.

Statements: Every minister is a student. Every student is inexperienced.

Conclusions:
I. Every minister is inexperienced.
II. Some inexperienced are students.

A
Only conclusion I follows

B
Only conclusion II follows

C
Either I or II follows

D
Neither I nor II follows

E
Both I and II follow

Solution

'Every' is equivalent to 'All'. Thus, since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, I follows. II is the converse of the second premise and thus it also holds.
Question 7

II. No fish is a crocodile.

A
Only conclusion I follows

B
Only conclusion II follows

C
Either I or II follows

D
Neither I nor II follows

E
Both I and II follow

Solution

Since both the premises are universal and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be universal negative. Also, the conclusion should not contain the middle term. So, II follows; I is the converse of II and thus it also holds.
Question 8

Directions For Questions

Direction: In the question below are given two statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts.

Statements: No gentleman is poor. All gentlemen are rich.

Conclusions:
I. No poor man is rich.
II. No rich man is poor.

A
Only conclusion I follows

B
Only conclusion II follows

C
Either I or II follows

D
Neither I nor II follows

E
Both I and II follow

Solution

The first premise is an E-type proposition, So, the middle term 'gentleman' forming the subject is distributed. The second premise is an A-type proposition. So, the middle term 'gentlemen' forming the subject is distributed. Since the middle term is distributed twice, the conclusion cannot be universal. Since one premise is negative, the conclusion must be negative. Thus, it follows that 'Some rich men are not poor'. Thus, neither I nor II follows.
Question 9

II. Some rusty things are not sharp.

A
Only conclusion I follows

B
Only conclusion II follows

C
Either I or II follows

D
Neither I nor II follows

E
Both I and II follow

Solution

Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So, I follows. Since both the premises are affirmative, the conclusion cannot be negative. Thus, II does not follow.

Statements: All fishes are grey in colour. Some fishes are heavy.

Conclusions:
I. All heavy fishes are grey in colour.
II. All light fishes are not grey in colour.

A
Only conclusion I follows

B
Only conclusion II follows

C
Either I or II follows

D
Neither I nor II follows

E
Both I and II follow

Solution

Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some heavy things are grey in colour'. I is a cumulative result of this conclusion and the first premise. Thus, only I holds.
