Question

Three statements are given, followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusion(s) logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
Some teachers are dancers.
All dancers are beautiful.
All teachers are honest.
Conclusions:
I. Some teachers are beautiful.
II. Some dancers are honest.

This question was previously asked in
PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Both conclusions I and II follow.

This question tests your understanding of logical reasoning and Venn diagrams. Let's analyze each statement and conclusion:

Statements:

  • Some teachers are dancers.
  • All dancers are beautiful.
  • All teachers are honest.

Conclusions:

  • I. Some teachers are beautiful. Since some teachers are dancers, and all dancers are beautiful, it logically follows that some teachers are beautiful. This is a valid conclusion.
  • II. Some dancers are honest. While there's no direct connection stated between dancers and teachers being honest, we know some teachers are dancers and all teachers are honest. Therefore, there is an overlap: some dancers (the ones who are also teachers) must also be honest. This is a valid conclusion.

Why option 3 is correct: Both conclusions I and II are logically derived from the given statements. The statements create overlapping sets, allowing for the conclusions to be true. The use of "some" in the statements and conclusions introduces the possibility of overlap without requiring every member of the sets to share the same characteristic.

Therefore, both conclusions logically follow from the given statements.
