Question

In the questions given below, two statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read the conclusion and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statement, disregarding commonly known facts : 

Statement : All windows are doors. No door is wall. 

Conclusions : I. No window is wall 

                      II. No wall is door

The correct answer is
Both conclusion I and II follow.

Statements Logic

We are given two statements:

  • Statement 1: All windows are doors.
  • Statement 2: No door is wall.

Let's analyze the relationships:

  • From Statement 1, the set of 'windows' is entirely contained within the set of 'doors'. We can represent this as: $ \text{Windows} \subseteq \text{Doors} $.
  • From Statement 2, the set of 'doors' and the set of 'walls' are completely separate; they have no members in common. We represent this as: $ \text{Doors} \cap \text{Walls} = \emptyset $.

Conclusion I Analysis

Conclusion I: No window is wall.

Since every 'window' is a 'door' (Statement 1), and no 'door' is a 'wall' (Statement 2), it must be true that no 'window' can be a 'wall'. If something belongs to the 'window' category, it automatically belongs to the 'door' category, which excludes it from the 'wall' category.

Therefore, Conclusion I logically follows. $ \text{Windows} \cap \text{Walls} = \emptyset $.

Conclusion II Analysis

Conclusion II: No wall is door.

Statement 2 states, "No door is wall." This is a universal negative statement (an E-type proposition). Universal negative statements are symmetrical. This means if "No A is B" is true, then "No B is A" must also be true.

Applying this, since "No door is wall" is true, its symmetrical form "No wall is door" must also be true.

Therefore, Conclusion II logically follows directly from Statement 2.

Final Logical Deduction

Both Conclusion I and Conclusion II are logically derived from the given statements.

Thus, Both conclusion I and II follow.
