Given below are two statements and two conclusions. Take the statements to be true even if they are at variance with commonly known facts, and decide whether the conclusion(s) follow(s) the given statements. Statements: Some bags are sacks. Some sacks are juts. Conclusions: I. Some bags are juts. II. Some juts are sacks.
Only conclusion II follows
The correct answer is Only conclusion II follows.
Common types of statements include All (A), No (E), Some (I), and Some Not (O). Venn diagrams are often used as a visual tool to represent the relationships described in the statements and test the validity of s. In this case, the relationship between 'bags' and 'juts' is indirect via 'sacks', and 'Some' statements about these indirect links do not guarantee a 'Some' relationship between the ends of the chain (bags and juts).
