Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

Statements:
No rugs are lamps.
No doors are rugs.

Conclusions:
(I) No doors are lamps.
(II) Some lamps are doors.

This question was previously asked in
RRB ALP 2025 CBT 2 Wiremen Question Paper (28-Jul-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.

Syllogism Analysis: Statements and Conclusions

This problem requires analyzing the logical relationship between sets based on given statements to determine if conclusions necessarily follow.

Statement Analysis

  • Statement 1: \(No rugs are lamps.\) This means the set of 'rugs' and the set of 'lamps' are completely separate; they do not overlap at all.
  • Statement 2: \(No doors are rugs.\) This means the set of 'doors' and the set of 'rugs' are also completely separate; they do not overlap.

Conclusion Analysis

We need to see if the conclusions about the relationship between 'doors' and 'lamps' are guaranteed by the statements.

  • Conclusion (I): \(No doors are lamps.\) The statements only establish that both 'doors' and 'lamps' are separate from 'rugs'. They do not provide any information about whether 'doors' and 'lamps' overlap or not. It is possible they are separate, but it's also possible they overlap. Therefore, this conclusion does not necessarily follow.
  • Conclusion (II): \(Some lamps are doors.\) Similar to conclusion (I), the statements do not give enough information to confirm or deny any overlap between 'lamps' and 'doors'. This conclusion is also not guaranteed. Furthermore, it contradicts conclusion (I), which we already determined is not necessarily true.

Final Determination

Since neither Conclusion (I) nor Conclusion (II) can be logically derived with certainty from the given statements, neither conclusion follows.
