The following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions
numbered I and II. You have to take tfie given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance
from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which ofthe given conclusions logically
follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements : Some soldiers are famous.Some soldiers are intelligent.
Conclusions : l. Some soldiers are either famous or intelligent.
II. Some soldiers are neither famous nor intelligent.
Since both the premises are particular, so no conclusion follows.

Clearly, conclusion I follows from the statements.

follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements : Some fools are intelligent.Some intelligent are great,
Conclusions : I. Some fools are great.
ll. All great are intelligent.
Since both the premises are particular, no conclusion follows as the middle term is
not distributed even once in the premises.
The following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions
numbered I and II. You have to take tfie given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance
from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which ofthe given conclusions logically
follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements : All windows are needles.Some trees are windows.
Conclusions : I. Some trees are needles.
II. Some trees are not needles.
Since one premise is particular, so the conclusion must be particular. Also, since the
term 'needles is distributed in II (O type proposition) without being distributed in
the premises, so, conclusion II cannot follow. Thus, only I follows.
The following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions
numbered I and II. You have to take tfie given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance
from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which ofthe given conclusions logically
follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements : All puppets are dolls.All dolls are toys.
Conclusions : I. Some toys are puppets.
II. All toys are puppets.
Conclusion II, being an A type proposition, distributes the term 'toys'. Since the term
'toys' is distributed in II without being distributed in any of the premises, so
conclusion II cannot follow. So, only I. follows.
The following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions
numbered I and II. You have to take tfie given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance
from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which ofthe given conclusions logically
follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements : All coins are crows.Some crows are pens.
Conclusions : I. No pen is coin.
II. Some coins are pene.
Since the middle term 'crows' is not distributed even once in the premises, so no
conclusion follows.
The following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions
numbered I and II. You have to take tfie given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance
from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which ofthe given conclusions logically
follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements : All apples are oranges.Some oranges are papayas.
Conclusions : I. Some apples are papayas.
II. Some papayas are apples.
The first premise is A type and distributes the subject. So, the middle term 'oranges'
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 'oranges' forming its subject is not distributed
Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the premises, so no conclusion
follows.
The following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions
numbered I and II. You have to take tfie given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance

follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements :All cars are tables.
Some children are tables.
Conclusions : I. Some cars are children.
II. Some children are cars.
The first premise is an A type proposition. So, the middle term 'tables' forming the
predicate is not distributed.
The second premise is an I type proposition. So, the middle term forming the predi-
cate is not distributed. Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the
premises, so no conclusion follows.
